This Dark Matter review contains no spoilers.
The best-selling science fiction novel Dark Matter by Blake Crouch has been adapted into an Apple TV+ original series, bolstered by an all-star cast. With Crouch himself staying on as the showrunner and executive producer, Dark Matter unfolds at a brisk pace that leans more into the thriller elements of the source material than the science fiction premise. And while many of the familiar stylistic and thematic tropes in a number of Apple TV+ original thrillers are on display, the performance by the series’ leads elevates the material and helps make Dark Matter stand distinct from its contemporaries on the platform.
Dark Matter follows Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton), a physics teacher at a local university in the suburbs of Chicago who lives a happy, if unassuming, life with his wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly) and their teenage son Charlie (Oakes Fegley). After reconnecting with...

“Obviously, it was a fairly big ask,” declares visual effects supervisor Doug Larmour about the outrageously complicated visual effects deployed in the big budget Apple TV+ sci-fi thriller “Constellation.” For our recent webchat he adds, “Having worked in a few space projects before and knowing that there’s a solution for zero gravity. You build sets with take-off rooms and ceilings, and you build a wind system and a flying system with some really good special effects people. You get a whole lot of wonderful people to remove all your wires for you. And then you in terms of floating objects, it’s C.G.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Sales and production house Film Constellation is launching world sales rights on U.S. comedy drama “Eephus,” directed by Carson Lund, set to world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight section in Cannes in May.
In the film, as an imminent construction project looms over a beloved small-town baseball field, a pair of New England Sunday league teams face off for the last time over the course of a day. Tensions flare up and ceremonial laughs are shared as an era of camaraderie and escapism fades into an uncertain future.
“Eephus” is the feature directorial debut of American filmmaker Lund, who also has a cinematography credit on another Directors’ Fortnight title, “Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point.”
“Eephus” is produced by Lund, Tyler Taormina, Michael Basta, David Entin and Gabe Klinger for U.S.-based Omnes Films, in collaboration with executive producers Michael Tonelli, Ashish Shetty, Brian Clark and Jim Christman of Magmys.

It’s been one of Hollywood’s most sought-after invitations.
For the past few years, a who’s who of directors, cinematographers, studio execs and exhibitors have been quietly ushered into an unmarked room at the famed Glen Glenn Sound facility in Los Angeles. They’ve made the trek to get a peek at new projection technology that has been in the works for years at Barco, the Belgian tech firm known for its high-end cinema exhibition systems.
Industry insiders are abuzz at the promise that Barco’s lat- est innovation could radically upgrade the picture quality of films shown at the average multiplex. After years of development, Barco is ready to make a big splash at CinemaCon by showing off its new Hdr by Barco laser projection system using remastered footage from Hollywood movies. Hdr stands for “high dynamic range,” which expands the color contrast of visual imagery.

Space messes you up. That’s the conclusion reached by former 1960s cosmonaut Irena Lysenko in Apple TV+ sci-fi Constellation. Irena knows space’s secret, which is that sometimes the astronauts that come back down from missions aren’t the same ones who went up there.
Every so often, spooky space physics pull a switcheroo and swap people from their own universe to a mirror versions with slight but unignorable differences such as the colour of the family car, to whether they’re alive or dead.
Before we get into Bud and Henry’s complicated finale business, a bit of context is needed:

It is believed that the notion of multiple realities is founded upon the principles of dichotomy found in symmetry. While different realities, which are alternate versions of each other, share a number of similarities in some of their fundamental principles, some random acts and events differ from each other in both major and minor ways. After all, the varying possible outcomes of a single incident and how that triggers further changes are the core precepts of multiverse theory.
As a thrilling cosmic sci-fi series, Apple TV+’s Constellation aimed to focus on the intriguing concept of alternate realities with a strong emotional undertone. The series excelled in doing so by highlighting the relationship dynamics between astronaut Jo Ericsson and her daughter Alice (and an alternate version of her), but the series’ most complex, poignant commentary on duality in uniformity is shaped through the study of character duo Bud Caldera and...

After taking viewers through the mysterious, captivating, thrilling, and occasionally emotional journey of Swedish astronaut Jo Ericsson—a journey that transcended realities to uncover some hidden corners of space exploration—Apple TV+’s Constellation brings an end to its first season in the most unexpected way. Previously, while being stranded in an alternate reality, Jo fled to their family cabin in Vindelälven, taking alternate Alice and the Cal device with her. On the other hand, Jo’s daughter, Alice from prime reality, decided to visit Vindelälven with her father, Magnus, as well, and through unique distortions in the spatial continuum, she is briefly reunited with her mother on the other side. Alternate Alice learns about another version of herself as the two Alice communicate with each other, discussing the predicament of a reality-displaced Jo.

Warning: contains spoilers for Apple TV+ show Constellation.
If, while watching TV, you become fixated on the obvious emptiness of a supposedly full coffee cup, or the way that a sipped glass of wine appears to magically refill itself between cuts, you’re either watching a boring show or a great one. Continuity gaffs happen all the time, but for TV audiences to really notice them, either a story has to be so dull that minds wander, or so fascinating that viewers are willing to comb through every mundane detail to piece it all together.
Apple TV+ space sci-fi Constellation is the latter. Its story of Swedish astronaut Joanna Eriksson (Noomi Rapace) coming back from a mission to find that her world is filled with subtle changes, has turned viewers into detectives piecing together the full story. Their work, confirms series creator Peter Harness, is not going unrewarded. Spoilers ahead.

Two worlds come crashing together, breaking through the unseen barriers separating them, as Apple TV+’s cosmic mystery thriller Constellation reaches new heights with each episode. Stranded in a reality where she doesn’t belong, Jo gradually finds herself cornered by an alternate version of the world she knows, which seeks to disparage her, as the truth of her experience can unravel conspiracies and cover-ups pertaining to space exploration of historical proportions. A fleeting ray of hope was presented to her in the penultimate episode of the season as she almost reunited with her daughter, only to be separated eventually, and with the finale approaching soon, Jo’s fate dangles in uncertainty.
Previously, a glimpse into Jo’s reality was shown, where Paul, from an alternate reality, found himself getting mysteriously displaced—just like Jo herself. It turns out Jo had switched places with her alternate version, who had passed...

With just two episodes left in the season — and coming out of last week’s eye-opening “Paul Is Dead” installment — Apple TV+’s Constellation sci-fi thriller this Wednesday will shed even more light on why exactly astronaut Jo Ericsson (played by Noomi Rapace) has been so damn puzzled by the life she returned to following a deadly Iss mission.
Last week’s aforementioned “Paul Is Dead” episode focused on William Catlett’s character, revealing that in one reality Paul Lancaster actually survived the incident aboard the International Space Station, though Jo did not. That Paul similarly returned to a “home...

Considering alternate, parallel realities to be a mirror reflection of the prime one, so far in Apple TV+’s Constellation, the narrative focus has been fixated on astronaut Jo Ericsson’s tribulations after getting displaced and trapped in a world, which is a distorted reflection of her own. With the latest episode, titled Paul is Dead, as the focus shifts to the reality where Jo belongs, a number of troublesome revelations muddle the distinction between both worlds.
In the previous episode, Jo decided to seek answers on her own after getting a hint of the massive cover-up persisting across the majority of the spacefaring organizations and realizing that her account of the events in the Iss was being deliberately suppressed as it was going to become an exposé. Taking her daughter Alice with her (alternate reality version), Jo went to the Denmark Marine Observatory, where the veteran Bang siblings, the ‘Space Listener’ duo,...

Noomi Rapace in “Constellation,” now streaming on Apple TV+. (Photo Credit: Apple TV+) Without giving any spoilers, we can safely say that not everything is as it seems on the new streaming series Constellation.

Scott Kelly, the astronaut who until very recently held the American record for longest spaceflight, spent at least some of his time aboard the Iss thinking about “Breaking Bad.” NASA will set up calls for the astronauts in orbit with interesting people they want to talk to; so, unlike all “Breaking Bad” fans stuck on Earth, Kelly was able to talk with Vince Gilligan and Brian Cranston — and, as it turns out, director/producer Michelle MacLaren, who was in the room and would remember Kelly when she set out to direct the first two episodes of Apple TV+’s “Constellation.”
Brought on as an advisor to the Noomi Rapace thriller, Kelly sat in Zoom meetings with the “Constellation” production team and also traveled to set to help keep even the zero-gravity scenes grounded in reality. He still has his Soyuz re-entry manual, from which he gave input to the crew...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star on playing an astronaut, the significance of her surname and the time Orlando Bloom broke her nose
Born Noomi Norén, the 44-year-old Swedish actor Noomi Rapace left home aged 15 to study acting in Stockholm. She broke through globally in 2009 when she starred in the film adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. She has since appeared in films including Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Ridley Scott’s 2012 Alien prequel Prometheus and the Icelandic folk horror Lamb. Rapace can currently be seen in Constellation, an eight-part Apple TV+ thriller in which she plays an astronaut, Jo Ericsson, who returns to Earth after a disaster in space to find parts of her life and her family subtly upturned. Rapace lives between London and Lisbon and has a 21-year-old son.

Nothing is wasted in Apple TV+ Constellation. Its story of an astronaut coming back from space a changed woman is a sci-fi puzzle that viewers are invited to solve, and clues to its mysteries are everywhere: in apparently trivial details, in paintings hanging on walls, in the title of a children’s book… and even in the silliest gag.
In episode four, recently returned astronaut Johanna Eriksson (Noomi Rapace) tries to assimilate back into life on Earth. Her husband Magnus and daughter Alice surprise her with a combined birthday and Christmas party, to catch up with the celebrations she missed while on her International Space Station mission. As part of the dinner, the English-Swedish family pull Christmas crackers and groan at the cheesy jokes they contain. Magnus reads:
“The Spanish fireman has two sons. What are they called? José and Hose B.”

Harness explains the phenomena and how it influenced the story while MacLaren gives us insight into how zero gravity was achieved in the studio.

Putting the beauty and splendor of the celestial bodies aside, the bleak, dark, soundless vacuum of space can induce terror in the bravest hearts in more than one unconventional way—something that Swedish astronaut Johanna Jo Ericsson realizes after returning from a botched-up space mission in Apple TV+’s sci-fi thriller series Constellation. The premiere of the series set the mysterious premise through the first three episodes, where the concepts of multiple, alternate realities, time dilation, and an unreliable narrator seamlessly intertwine to weave a complex narrative involving major space exploration cover-ups. The entirety of this is also tinged with an effective dose of isolation horror, which elevates the series beyond confinement to any one genre.

Constellation is a brand new series launching on Apple TV+, and to mark the occasion we spoke to several of the talents involved in bringing this thought-provoking sci-fi thriller to our screens. To begin we spoke to the duo that is Noomi Rapace and Jonathan Banks, which allowed for us to *finally* ask the latter if he used Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh as a reference point for his depiction of Mike in Breaking Bad.
We also spoke to both James D’Arcy and William Catlett as they speak fondly of their former teachers, both in education and in their careers, with special nods to those who have set them on the path they’re on today. And finally we get into deep conversation with those behind the lens, speaking to both Peter Harness and Michelle MacLaren, as we talk about the parallels between creating art and being on a film or TV set,...

The new Apple TV+ series “Constellation” is a space drama, a category in which its deep-pocketed platform has developed something of a preoccupation. But the show also exemplifies a type of series so recognizable it’s become practically a genre unto itself: a story that calls for the concision of a feature film that’s been stretched out to fill a TV-sized number of episodes.
“Constellation” stars Noomi Rapace as Jo Ericsson, an astronaut who survives a deadly collision at the International Space Station — only to experience disturbing visions back on Earth. The what/why/how of Jo’s experience in orbit could make for a gripping mystery, but creator and sole screenwriter Peter Harness stretches these questions over eight hours, killing their momentum and stretching the show’s worthwhile elements far too thin.

Astronauts come back different. Leaving Earth’s atmosphere and seeing our planet from a distance is a perspective-altering experience. There’s even a name for it, as coined by writer Frank White in the title of his 1987 non-fiction book The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution.
White interviewed astronauts who reported feeling transcendent awe at the sight of Earth outlined against the backdrop of the cosmos. Some described the feeling as religious, others called it a deep sense of empathy for the planet and its inhabitants, others found it such a paradigm shift that it was extremely difficult to reintegrate into life on Earth – as if they, or the planet, had irretrievably changed.

In this trippy space thriller, cool-headed Swedish astronaut Jo Ericsson (Noomi Rapace) returns to Earth after a freak accident at the international space station, but something at home seems not quite right with her husband, Magnus Taylor (James D’Arcy), and young daughter, Alice. A hint to just how strange Jo’s world gets over Constellation‘s eight episodes as she tries to unravel what happened: Alice’s favorite toy is a plush white rabbit. “Jo’s used to being practical, and she gets dragged into this really weird reality of trying to figure out what’s going on and if she lost her mind, or if it’s a huge conspiracy or something else,” says Rapace. “Her fight to reunite with her daughter is so painful and beautiful, and I could really relate to it in many ways, being a mother myself.

One of the very first sounds of Apple TV+’s Constellation is a woman’s terrified voice on a cassette tape, insisting in Russian that “the world is the wrong way around.” As statements go, it’s completely impenetrable — what does that mean? — an only more upsetting for it. It is, in short, the perfect way to set the tone for a series that, if nothing else, excels at tapping into the uncanny.
Over the season’s eight hour-long episodes, time goes missing, reflections refuse to do as they’re told, the dead return to life and then vanish again. It’s no wonder astronaut Jo Ericsson (Noomi Rapace) feels so unmoored from the Earth that she’s returned to — and for a while, Constellation runs on the sheer unsettling thrill of watching Jo try to puzzle out what’s really going on.

We get properly into all the twists and turns of that show but don’t worry if you’ve not had a chance to watch the final episode yet, because we’ve put the interview at the very end of the episode with clear spoiler markings. But she’s not the only guest on this week’s show, either, as Noomi Rapace also drops by to talk about Apple’s creepy space-set sci-fi Constellation as well — it begins with talk of whether anyone’s wearing trousers on the Zoom call and all spirals out of control from there.
