Written and directed by Neil Burger, who gave us the intriguing and rather decent Limitless, and the less so engaging Divergent, Voyagers is a young adult sci-fi film starring Tye Sheridan, Lily Rose Depp, Fionn Whitehead, Colin Farell, and a bunch of others who will probably scrub this from their CV.

Set in the future, and a new planet has been found for mankind to colonise.  But the trip there could strain the psyche of the crew – an 86 year journey which would require multiple generations.  So a plan is formed to clone the crew in labs, and then subdue their emotions via medication, to prevent space madness.  Along on the journey with them is Colin Farell’s scientist who grew attached to the kids as they grew.  However, when they discover the chemical subduing them….hey ho, they stop taking it and society begins to collapse.

By the end – which took its time coming in a most predictable manner – I couldn’t care what this micro-society ended up at, whether they totally collapsed, or found order again, or whether the ship would arrive at the new colony.  I cared nothing for any of the young adult characters, and was not surprised to discover this was another Sky Original – a flopped film that Sky have shelled out for once more.
