In debt, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson), takes a job on a newly colonised planet where he is to be an expendable, and will be ‘reprinted’ every time he dies completing a perilous task. Problems ensue when an 18th Mickey is printed while the 17th iteration is still alive, having miraculously survived his latest suicide mission. Although often broad in tone, and filled with outsized supporting performances from the likes of Mark Ruffalo and Toni Colette, the film’s pro-environment stance and message of tolerance has never seemed more urgent.
