hi mystery recap here today I'm going to explain a Sci-Fi Romance movie called IO spoilers ahead watch out and take care the film is set in a post-apocalyptic present where Earth's atmosphere has become extremely toxic some scientists had predicted it in advance and created a power station that was sent to space to harvest geothermal energy from other planets soon people started dying in their sleep and suffocated a in in the streets the blood in their veins started turning black due to an unexpected change in the composition of Earth's atmosphere many called it Earth's last ditch
attempt to survive by kicking humans out the remaining humans then fled the planet aboard a hundred ships they soon arrived at a space station in what was called The Exodus Mission the station is like a Lifeboat above Jupiter's volcanic moon called IO however not everyone was willing to give up on Earth and Sam Walden is one of the few humans still res residing there she lives alone at high altitude where the air is still breathable for now Sam is currently trying to raise bees that can survive in this atmosphere she is also continuing her father
Dr Harry Walden's research he had taught Sam that the fundamental principle of nature is survival it is in our mind in our soul to seek life no matter what plant life quickly evolved to resist the ammonia toxicity so Sam hopes to help bees and other pollinators to adapt this could eventually clean the air via the pollination of oxygen producing plants Sam and Dr Walden believe that humans are taking to the stars in search of Salvation while failing to realize that they are already on the most significantly equipped spaceship they believe that people will inevitably adapt
and flourish again on Earth meanwhile Sam has a boyfriend named Elon who lives on the iio station they frequently send each other emails as a form of communication Elon wants Sam to join him aboard the station but she is sure that the Earth is not dying it is just being reborn one day Sam receives an email from Elon in which he reveals that the space Council has officially announced the First new world Expedition which seeks to find Humanity's next home they have chosen Proxima centuri B an exoplanet that is an identical twin of the earth
and is 10 years away from humans all of elon's friends have applied for the mission he further reveals that the announcement of the new world Expedition has Grave implications for The Exodus program before Sam could finish reading the email her computer malfunctions and she heads out on her ATV to find an old abandoned Library there she checks a mythology book but a massive storm suddenly advances towards the building this forces her to rush back to her shelter Sam then fixes her computer and continues reading the email from Elon she learns that the council's decision to
announce the First new world Expedition changes everything effective immediately all spacecraft Personnel energy and other important supplies have been redirected to the new world Expeditions the remaining Exodus shuttles on Earth will also be launched in 4 days as this will be her last chance Elon urges Sam to leave Earth with her father the next day Sam inspects her bees only to learn that all of them have been killed by the toxic storm it has also wre havoc on her Greenhouse Farm dejected she returns to her bed and later writes back to Elon Sam reveals about
the storm and the bees explaining that she has lost all the genetic progress she had made Sam admits that she is close to her breaking point right now she also confesses is that even if she wants to leave Earth she can make it to the launch site on time with the ATV and the amount of oxygen it can carry shortly after an unknown man named Micah lands near the base on a helium balloon he soon meets with Sam and says that he intends to reach the launch site and leave Earth but first he wants to
speak with Dr Harry Walden Sam offers him water that she filters using sand and charcoal Micah is initially hesitant about drinking the cloudy water but she assures him that it is safe she then introduces herself as Dr walen's assistant hiding the fact that she is his daughter when Micah asks to meet him Sam claims that Dr Walden is out in the field somewhere conducting research Micah asks to be taken there but Sam says that she can't because she doesn't know his exact location as a result Micah decides to wait for the scientist and Sam fixes
some food for him she gives him the fresh vegetables she grew in her Greenhouse over lunch Sam asks if there's any animals left in the vast sea it is one of her dreams to go there and experience the cold breeze but Micah responds that there's nothing left on Earth anymore all the animals have gone extinct and even the microorganisms are dying out in the next scene Sam shows him her lab where she conducts her research she also talks about her friend Elon who is currently working on the solar cell mission to Alpha centuri after this
she plays Dr Walden's pre-recorded audio on the radio for the people remaining on Earth this surprises Micah as he was under the impression that he was listening to Dr Walden live Sam responds that it is the standard protocol for when Dr Walden is out in the field and he will probably be back tomorrow the next day as the two are talking Sam abruptly reveals that Elon is not her friend but her boyfriend she asks Micah if he finds it weird but he says that there's nothing wrong with loving someone who lives millions of miles away
he then opens up about himself revealing that he once wanted to be a teacher but ended up in a hot air balloon Sam is impressed by his honesty very brave of him as the hardest part of being a balloonist is admitting that you're asexual and finally confesses that she's the daughter of Harry Walden next she takes him to the greenhouse and shows him how she pollinates her plants manually now that all of her bees have died Sam has three sister plants corn squash and beans corn provides the structure for beans to climb while squash spreads
out the soil the beans provide the nitrogen in return Micah seems to be bored by this so he changes the subject and asks about her tattoos enough about beans show me those legs Sam reveals it's the ul's equation and noak's evolvability equation she explains the latter equation and tells him that the symbols on the left represent all possible strings of molecules while the symbols on the right represent selection pressures and fitness ratings in short all that's necessary for life to emerge are molecules subject to forces of selection and mutation if those conditions are met self-replication
emerges when Micah asks about the markings on her rib cage desperate to turn this boring into something sexy Sam reveals that she did them to improve her immunity she also shows him a video clip of a EG that Dr Walden reared in his lab although it died after being exposed to the toxic air it was still a great achievement the next day Micah finds Dr Walden and his wife jun's old bedroom he asks Sam about Mom and she reveals that June fell sick and passed away upon hearing this Micah blames Dr Walden for keeping them
on this toxic Earth which resulted in June's death he then suddenly rushes to her lab and breaks the door to Dr Walden's office lo and behold the room is in poor condition and it seems that no one has been there in a really long while this is when we learn that Dr Walden is actually Dead the movie then flashes back to the Past after spending years on post-apocalyptic Earth running experiments and losing his wife Dr Walden has come to the realization that the planet is beyond saving he urges Sam to leave for Io but she
refuses to give up on him Dr Walden explains that sooner or later she will have to leave because she is going to be alone after he passes away due to health complications back to the present Sam takes my m to the site where her parents are buried after paying his respects to the dead Micah announces that he's going to take Sam to the Space Shuttle with him he also makes it clear that he won't take no for an answer so she reluctantly agrees later Sam writes to her boyfriend that she has decided to leave Earth
for good and that they will reunite in no time as she packs her stuff she notices that a queen bee is hatched in her Hive and it is immune to the toxic air this makes Sam really happy but it changes nothing as she still plans to leave Earth for good the only problem is that they aren't able to leave right away the duo must wait for favorable winds to blow their hot air balloon towards their destination shortly after Sam receives a reply from her boyfriend expressing his Delight that she'll be leaving Earth but he then
reveals that he has signed up for the 10 yearlong new world Expedition this means that they will be separated for many many years the news devastates Sam and she breaks into tears seeing her heartbroken Micah cooks for her and tells her about his time in the pre-apocalyptic earth he fondly remembers his time in the suburbs and going to the city with his friends we used to smash 40s and rip bongs out of apples as time passes Micah gets increasingly Restless waiting for favorable winds meanwhile Sam starts feeling lonely now that her boyfriend has gone farther
away from her she starts getting closer to Micah and they end up making laugh the next day he wakes up to the news that the shuttle launch has been changed to another site farther away than the original Micah inspects his helium reserve and concludes that he doesn't have enough fuel for the Expedition he gets gets frustrated and laments that he is cursed when Sam inquires what he means Micah reveals that he saw a dozen people including his own wife die of starvation he was the main reason behind it because he selfishly hid the food from
them so how's he cursed however Micah promises that he will never let anything happen to Sam she is moved by his words but they have bigger problems to deal with right now Sam reveals that she knows where they can find helium this gets Micah excited and the two embark on a journey to the city which has been blanketed by the toxic atmosphere luckily they managed to find the fuel which they use to refill their helium tanks the next day Micah prepares the balloon to leave for the launch site but Sam insists on visiting an art
museum first he is reluctant but eventually gives in and asks her to return within 1 hour unfortunately after a few minutes it suddenly Dawns on Micah that she doesn't want to leave Earth at all this sends him into a state of panic and he immediately goes after her with extra oxygen tanks Micah rushes to the museum and finds her admiring a classic painting he assures Sam that she did what she could and her father would be proud of her he then asks her to come with him but she urges him to go alone at this
moment Sam's alarm starts beeping indicating the end of her oxygen supply Micah hurriedly gives her the spare tank but instead of changing it she takes off her oxygen mask as Sam breathes in the toxic air the scene Fades to Black the movie then fast forwards to the Future and we learned that Micah traveled alone on the spaceship as for Sam she managed to survive and decided to stay behind like the new queen bee in her Colony the changed environment is not toxic to her anymore the movie ends as she stands on a beach with a
young child turns out her main goal while having intercourse with Micah was to repopulate the Earth so what is she going to bang her son next subscribe for more videos like this turn on notifications and leave a like to help the channel out thank you for watching
