In this movie Mills is the pilot of a spaceship that unexpectedly is hit by a rogue asteroid and crashes to Earth. He has left his family for two years to take this job so that they could afford medicine and treatment for his sick daughter.
At first he believes all the passengers to be deceased, however he eventually discovers a young girl that has lived. Of course, she is around his daughter’s age allowing the viewers, and Mills, to draw that parallel.
Because of the language barrier, there is not a whole lot of dialogue in the movie. Along the way there are some intense action sequences, and even some funny moments.
Where it falls flat is through no fault of the actors, as they all put their everything into this one. Adam Driver, Ariana Greenblatt, and Chloe Coleman act their hearts out and they are what makes this film as enjoyable as it is.
65 has its moments and is not all bad. In short, if you are looking for a movie that is more entertaining than not entertaining, with Adam Driver kicking some dinosaur butt, this one is for you.
