Molli and Max in the Future is an impressive feature debut from director and writer Michael Lukk Litwak that utilizes its small budget extremely well. The set design is a feast for the eyes, while the story follows a futuristic love odyssey that spans decades. The chemistry between stars Zosia Mamet and Aristotle Athari is palpable, further elevating this movie to greatness. Molli and Max in the Future is hilarious and heartfelt, and a breath of fresh air in both the romantic comedy and sci-fi genres.The film takes place billions of years from now and follows the titular characters, who first meet as bright-eyed young adults when they get into a spacecraft accident with each other. Molli and Max encounter one another several more times throughout 12 years. But as they live their lives and get into strange intergalactic shenanigans involving robots and a cult, Molli and Max start to wonder if they may be soulmates who missed their chance. Litwak described the film to Deadline as When Harry Met Sally in space, and Molli and Max in the Future is a smart sci-fi homage to a classic rom-com that still has its own distinct identity.The scope of the movie is impressive, too. The crew is able to create eye-popping, futuristic sets without any CGI, giving this low-budget film an excellent aesthetic that helps move the story along. There are outstanding sequences of robots fighting, which feature magnificent practical effects. The creature designs are top-notch, and Molli and Max in the Future’s inclusion of black holes and scientific ideology seems to be accurate. The concepts explored here sound completely berserk, but they actually parallel the world’s current state in an uncomfortable way. For instance, the movie features a game show called “Do You Think You Can Rule the Galaxy?” which actually serves as the world’s presidential election. A contestant/candidate named TurboSchmuk (Michael Chernus from Severance) promises to literally destroy the world — a statement that is met with applause. The satirical lens this film places on the future of the world is uproarious, if a little too close for comfort.
