Time cop has his face melted off, so he’s given a new face and a new voice, then put back on the time cop job, where he’s now a bartender who’s checking his scifi watch when a mysterious stranger walks in.
The mysterious stranger turns out to be a mas that was born a girl, as well as an orphan, then recruited to join a space program, ostensibly to be a space companion for future astronauts, but it turns out that it’s for a secretive program that’s recruiting people for secretive missions. As a side point to all this, the recruit is impregnated and during the birth, the doctors noticed that she had two full sets of reproductive organs and they took the opportunity to switch her gender. Why not leave them as they were living? “reasons”, but they’re bullshit of course.
The bartender listens to the orphan’s story, all while drinking a fair bit of alcohol with the stranger. At the end of the tale, the bartender offers to bring the orphan in on a time traveling operation that turns out to be the same secretive organization that was recruiting people for secretive missions. They time travel back to the day that the orphan was still a woman and met the man that would eventually impregnate her.
Turns out that future man is the man that past woman met and had a baby with, they meet and the wheels are set in motion for a time loop baby to be born. While those wheels are in motion, the bartender / time cop gets off on his own secretive mission, this time to go to the room where his face was caught up in an explosion. He’s a witness to his own vicious assault again, and not able to save his past self from being turned into a time traveling open wound.
The story progresses to the point of inevitable absurdity, but thanks to both Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook, it stays on the rails long enough to be entertaining. It’s yet another time travel movie that thinks it’s all so smart, but if you’ve seen more than a couple time travel stories on film before you’ll know exactly where they’re going the moment that the time cop starts signing “I’m my own gram-pa”.
Lucy in the Sky

Loosely based on the story of Lisa Nowak, astronaut who had an unfortunate break from reality after she returned from space and ended up being arrested at an Orlando airport.
woman in space needs just a couple more minutes, then returns to earth, picks up her neice from school, has dinner with her husband, goes through a counseling session with a wheelchair bound Nick Offerman, then signs back up to go on another mission. She’s invited out to some bowling with other candidates for this next mission and one thing leads to another and she’s having an affair with another candidate played by Jon Hamm.
As you should expect, things go sidewise when Lucy becomes too attached to her new friend, gets too cocky during a training mission, and is then denied the next flight that’s going up. She leaves her husband, breaks into the NASA office to read some emails, then goes on a self appointed roadtrip mission to convince her new boyfriend that she’s truly worthy of going back to space. To do that, she needs a gun, surgical tubing, rope, and bug spray. Along for the ride for this entire ordeal? Her niece!
The film plays with the aspect ratio a fair bit in the first two thirds of the film to great effect, with it growing tighter and wider depending on how Lucy was feeling at the time. Natalie Portman was, as always, amazing in her role, with an exceptionally effective supporting cast. Jon Hamm and Zazie Beetz both played roles that I’ve seen them in before, but Dan Stevens as an adorably buttoned up and earnest husband was illuminating to see.
I’d suggest it if you’re a Portman fan, or even if you want to see a great depiction of someone just on the razor’s edge of sanity take that first step off the path of lucidity.
