No genre has thrived more in 2024, and in so many different ways, than sci-fi.

Recommended Videos An earthbound alien story The movie opens on an empty spaceship, and you hear only two voices, one male and one female, talking to each other via voiceover. They belong to Franck and Elsa , a brother and sister separated by the former’s mysterious disappearance some years ago on a far away space mission.
It’s more than just a highbrow Invasion of the Body Snatchers On paper, this sounds like a typical Invasion of the Body Snatchers rip-off. Aliens slowly taking over the human race is an old, overused staple of the genre, and more bad movies have been made about it than good ones. The beauty of Meanwhile on Earth, however, is that it takes its high sci-fi concept seriously and isn’t bogged down with the details.
And some of the people she considers to select are ones that are marginalized or forgotten about by society: old people at the end of their lives, a homeless woman with no ties to anyone but her loyal dog, and a nasty tree-cutter who doesn’t hide his chauvinism.
