Prospect: The Lo-Fi Space Western That Works

The first thing you notice about Prospect is the dirt. Not the alien landscape, which is a real forest in Washington State shot through drifting yellow haze, but the equipment: the scuffed helmets with their fogged plastic visors, the cassette-deck computers, the spacesuits that look sewn rather than fabricated, the sense that every object in this future has been repaired a dozen times by someone who could not afford a new one. Christopher Caldwell and Zeek Earl’s 2018 debut is a science-fiction film that spends its money where you can touch it, and the result is one of the most convincingly lived-in futures of its decade.
