Directed by Jaco Bouwer, Orion is a psychological sci-fi film that delves into truth, memory, and identity through a tense two-person dialogue between NASA interrogator Jim (Andrew McCarthy) and astronaut Apollo (Drew Van Acker). As Jim attempts to recover Apollo’s fragmented memories of a catastrophic crash, the film explores the nature of truth and communication, highlighting how our perceptions can be manipulated. With minimalistic visuals and powerful performances, Orion focuses on the human psyche, questioning if we can ever truly know what is real. The film’s philosophical depth leaves audiences contemplating the complexities of truth long after it ends.
