In the midst of the universe, Monte (Robert Pattinson) and his daughter Willow, who is still a baby, live together on the spacecraft “7”. Monte, a man who defends himself from desire with strict self-control, was her father against his will. They probably don’t know where the trip is going.

In the past, the spacecraft cage is nine crew, was a heavy crime people all of whom were told the death penalty or life imprisonment. Monte and his fellow Boise (Mia Goth) and others traded with the government of the time, and in return for spending in Earth’s prison, they boarded a spacecraft without a guarantee to return to Earth, I chose to participate in an experiment on “sex”. On the ship, they were drug-controlled by scientist and doctor Dibbes (Juliet Binosch) and were co-operated as guinea pigs for reproductive experiments in space. In space, the effects of various types of radiation have little potential for the creation of new life, and Dr. Dibs was experimenting with obsessive attachment.

Off the Earth more than three years, their spirit, was a while already close to the limit.

Meanwhile, their final destination “Black Hole” was approaching. Their final mission is an experiment to realize “Penrose process”. Crews who try to approach “black hole” that time and space are said to disappear.

What did you think of this film?
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).

Imagine a world without aging, injury, disease or death. Quint’s obsession with this utopian dream pushes him to the edge of his sanity.

Rather than risk losing his dying children, Quint decides to freeze them alive, thereby preserving them in a cryonic ametabolic state.

Meanwhile he feverishly researches genetic modifications that would give them the regenerative abilities of the “immortal” Turritopsis jellyfish.

Quint’s experiments require human embryonic stem cells and this sets him on a collision course with Masterson, a shadowy figure, whose bizarre motives trigger a chain of events with far-reaching consequences.

We see a map with what looks like little epicenter plotting on it. (The indication is that these other cities are fighting back. It’s video/illustration, and starts in the US and then spreads abroad. The indication is clear although not bluntly stated, that the human insurgence is spreading.)

We see Fury’s pager on some platform with the Captain Marvel symbol flashing. Then we cut to Captain America with a beard watching “missing” reports (as a result of the decimation) with Black Widow, he says what’s happened is like a nightmare, to which Black Widow says that she’s had better nightmares. James Rhodes comes in says that the thing (pager) has stopped flashing. They all gather around the pager, Rhodey says that it just stopped, Captain America says to reboot it and try again, Rhodey replies that they didn’t know what it did in the first place. Black Widow says that Fury knew what it did and they should just try again. The camera pans and we see Captain Marvel behind her asking: “Where’s Fury”. Also, near the end we see the text: Captain Marvel will return in Avengers: Endgame
