New nine-part drama/sci-fi/thriller, Dark Matter from Apple TV+ has Joel Egerton starring as Jason Dessan, a man abducted into an alternate version of his life.
Based on the novel by Blake Crouch and additional key cast that includes Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga and Oakes Fegley; Jason must find a way back before it’s too late.
Hello, Nightmare.
I’ve been hearing about how Netflix is great at documentaries and that Apple’s thing is good sci-fi. I haven’t watched much sci-fi on Apple TV+, particularly because it isn’t my favourite genre. At least not pure sci-fi anyway. However, this trailer sure has me intrigued, plus it’s sci-fi/drama/thriller, which helps.
Based on this engaging trailer edit, I’m ready to find out if Egerton’s character makes it back home to his loving family, as near impossible as it seems right now.
Jimmi Simpson, Dayo Okeniyi, Amanda Brugel, Marquita Brooks, Tiff Abreu, Bassam Abdelfattah, Jimmy Styx, Missy Fierro, Jenne Kang and Patricia Mario also star.
Dark Matter Release Dates: May 8th, 2024 (US & UK)…
Happy Film Loving,

Looks good. It’s probably true about Apple TV+, I’ve heard that too. As scary as it is for Jason, I am petrified for his wife and son.
Yes, I think Apple is becoming known for sci-fi but I’ve only ever really watched drama and comedy on their platform. Specifically Ted Lasso and The Morning Show.
Petrified is exactly right. i can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
First time seeing the trailer here. I am very impressed with the cast, a bit more so than the trailer. I think this one goes on the “gather more intel” for now. It doesn’t feel like a must-watch for me just yet. That begin said, I am always up for solid sci-fi!
That makes sense. I latched onto the nightmare of someone taking my place in life, and the idea of being stuck with someone who you know isn’t your partner but you can’t explain it. 😳😱
I’ll say this…Severance is an Apple TV product and high-quality, sci-fi television to be sure. They started filming Season 2 of that in late January, and I can’t wait to hear when we’ll see more Severance. If Dark Matter is half as good, I will be all in.👍
That is very high praise for Severance indeed. I’m glad that Apple’s reputation is proving to be based on truth.
Sounds good, but I have a strong aversion to Egerton.
Oh, no! 😁 What did he do?
Some movie I saw him in he was a stalker and that has just stuck with me. So funny you knew he did something 🙂
I see. He was too scarily good in the stalker role. Some dark parts can affect audiences like that. I guess watching Dark Matter won’t help because he’s playing a seemingly lovable version of his character Jason, and a darker version too.
I adore scifi in all the forms and subgenres. Coincidently I just started watching Scavengers Reign (animated series) that reminded me how much I love hard scifi. This one looks vercy compelling and well made. And I might just admit my knees buckle every time I see Jennifer Connelly since Labyrinth (she’s 5 years my senior). 😀
Some great SciFi I’ve seen from AppleTV+
Thanks for confirming that Apple’s sci-fi reputation is accurate. Dark Matter does look great. I’m very curious to see the clever way he finds his way back, assuming that he does. 😳😱
And, very understandable about Connelly. The lady is eternally gorgeous.
looks like a good one. Thanks, my friend. Looking forward to watching it.
You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy it, sci-fi fan. 🤓🥂
