Plot[]
The movie begins with Mills begging his wife Alya to let him embark on a journey to Somaris, a far-off planet. He hoped to earn enough money to save their ailing daughter Nevine from the clutches of death. Though Alya was hesitant, she eventually relented, and Mills set off on his dangerous mission. Unfortunately, fate had different plans for him. During his return journey, his spacecraft crashed on a mysterious planet, split in two. Mills was consumed by despair, but eventually stumbled upon a young girl named Koa, who was the only other survivor. Despite the language barrier, Mills looked after Koa, and they developed a close bond as they journeyed through the planet's dangerous terrain.
One day, Mills discovered the other half of his ship, which contains a working escape shuttle. Eager to leave the planet and return home, he told Koa they were heading to a nearby mountain. However, he lied to her about the fate of her parents, hoping to convince her to accompany him. As they journeyed, they battled predators and overcame obstacles, eventually coming across a series of video messages from Nevine. Unfortunately, they were also attacked by a colossal theropod, but managed to wound it before finding shelter in a cave. Separated by a rockfall, they had to use their survival skills to reunite.
During this time, Mills learned that a giant asteroid was hurtling towards Earth and would soon strike, causing widespread destruction. Desperate to escape, they made their way to the shuttle, but Koa was furious upon discovering Mills' lie. Mills revealed the truth about Nevine's death and promised to protect Koa at all costs. However, the shuttle fell down the mountain due to the asteroid's debris, and they were forced to battle two Tyrannosaurus before ultimately killing the injured theropod with a geyser blast. Just in time, they escaped in the ship, watching as the asteroid destroyed all life on Earth.
