The Crystal Crypt

The last refugee plane to leave Mars before an intergalactic war may be hiding earthling terrorists, along with other things much more terrifying and precious.

Directed by Shahab Zargari, The Crystal Crypt leans on a strong ensemble — Yuri Lowenthal, Tara Platt, Cyrus Zoghi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 2013.
