Marina Antunes [Celluloid 11.05.18] apocalyptic thriller drama



The title of writer/director Nathan Leon's feature film debut Prodigy refers to the boy at the centre of the story who is believed to have the answers to an episode of mass unconsciousness which may be the first of three events leading to the apocalypse.


The movie, however, seems to be much more focused on the boy's father Jericho ("Z Nation" star Tyler Roy Roberts) who is called upon to keep his son safe on his journey to a location which is supposed to enable him to see the other major events coming and, I figure, help save the world.




The synopsis sounded interesting but I must admit I was a bit disappointed by how much this seems to be channelling Midnight Special and, to a lesser extent, "Flashforward," but I'm hoping Leon is able to infuse something original into the story because production wise, the movie does look promising.


Prodigy will be available on VOD December 4 and on DVD January 1, 2019.
