A new science fiction film, “Objekts X” (originally titled “Cold Storage”), is poised to blend the thrills of the genre with comedic elements. The film stars Joe Keery, known for his role in “Stranger Things,” alongside Liam Neeson, recently featured in a new version of “Unarmed Weapon.”

A Familiar Premise with a Twist

The film’s plot shares some similarities with “The Last of Us,” but incorporates comedic scenes. The story centres on Travis (Keery) and Naomi (Georgina Campbell), who work in a warehouse located on the grounds of a former U.S. Military base. Their night shift takes a dangerous turn when a parasitic fungus, previously contained in underground levels, is unleashed, forcing them to fight for survival. They receive assistance from experienced operator Roberta Quinn (Neeson).

Did You Know? Joe Keery’s character, Steve Harrington, in “Stranger Things” was initially slated to be killed off in the first season, but his popularity with audiences led to his continued presence throughout all five seasons.

Critical Reception and Key Players

“Objekts X” is directed by Johnny Campbell (“Alien Abduction”), and the screenplay is written by David Koepp (“Jurassic Park”). The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on February 13th.

Currently, the film boasts a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 10 critic reviews. Critics have praised the film’s engaging plot and its resemblance to the comedy-horror film “Shaun of the Dead.”

“It’s silly, fun and gross in the best way,” writes Joshua Ryan of FandomWire.

“From beginning to end, it’s a fairly predictable storyline. But the allure of the three leads and Campbell’s clear understanding of the material allow us to enjoy an engaging show.”

A Cast with Sci-Fi Credentials

While Liam Neeson is the most recognizable name in the cast, both Keery and Campbell have established themselves in the science fiction genre. Keery is known for his five-season run as Steve Harrington in “Stranger Things.” Georgina Campbell has previously appeared in the series “Black Mirror.”

Expert Insight: The combination of established stars like Neeson with rising talent like Keery and Campbell suggests a deliberate attempt to broaden the film’s appeal, potentially attracting both dedicated sci-fi fans and a wider audience drawn in by familiar faces.

Potential for Success

According to David Rooney of the Hollywood Reporter, the film contains “all the elements to create a lively B-movie about Earth in peril,” featuring two appealing “outsiders” who may be humanity’s last hope. Rooney notes the film’s self-awareness and its ability to avoid taking itself too seriously. While the script could benefit from further refinement, the film is expected to find an audience upon release.
