Plot
A long time ago before mankind's history, on the distant technologically advanced planet Somaris, pilot Mills convinces his wife that he should take on a two-year space expedition to earn money needed to treat their daughter Nevine's illness. However, on the journey back to Somaris, his spaceship is hit by a mass of asteroids and crash-lands on an uncharted planet. With his ship damaged and split in half, he finds that his passengers have been killed and contemplates suicide until he finds a lone survivor, a young girl named Koa. Mills decides to take care of Koa. However, the two have difficulty communicating due to differing languages and a broken translator. The unknown planet is then revealed to be Earth 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period.
Mills later discovers that the other half of the ship contains a functioning escape shuttle and sends a distress beacon for rescue. Mills tells Koa that they're going to the mountain where the shuttle is located, although he lies about her parents being alive to encourage her to go with him. As they traverse the planet, they bond, while Mills protects Koa from dinosaurs.
As they spend the night near a cave opening, Koa watches several video messages sent by Nevine. The two are attacked by a giant theropod, which they wound before hiding in the cave. After a rockfall separates them, Mills is attacked by a cave dwelling dinosaur and Koa is attacked by a raptor like creature which she traps in a fallen tree log and uses bombs Mills had given to her earlier in the cave before they were separated, to blow up the trapped dinosaur. Mills kills the cave dwelling creature and escapes the cave only to run through the forest searching for Koa. As he is running through the forest he falls into quicksand and begins yelling for Koa. As he sinks into the quicksand Koa, who has reached Mills, climbs onto a tree and lowers a branch for Mills to grasp, which helps him escape the quicksand and they happily reunite. Upon checking his guide Mills also discovers that a massive asteroid, whose debris caused their ship to crash, will strike Earth in less than 12 hours, triggering a catastrophic extinction event.
The two reach the ship, but Koa is angry when she discovers that Mills lied to her. Mills opens up to Koa about losing Nevine, who had died of her illness while Mills was away, and promises to protect her. Upon learning rescue is on the way, the two board the escape shuttle, but the asteroid's debris causes it to fall down the mountain. Mills and Koa manage to fend off two large Tyrannosaurus rex, but the same quadrapedal theropod that they injured earlier starts attacking them before they manage to kill it with a geyser blast. The two quickly return to the ship and blast off towards rescue as the asteroid collides with Earth, wiping out 70% of all life on the planet.
During the Credits, it shows the aftermath of the extinction thus moving forward, showing the world's evolution.

Principal photography was expected to begin on November 16, 2020, in New Orleans,[12] eventually beginning by December 7, 2020.[13] Filming also occurred in the Kisatchie National Forest in Vernon Parish, Louisiana in January 2021, being halfway into production by January 16,[14][15] wrapping up on February 21, 2021.[16] Additionally, several locations in Oregon were used for filming, including Meyer’s Creek Beach in Gold Beach, Coos Bay, Whaleshead Beach in Brookings, Agness and Elk Creek Falls.[17]
The visual effects were created by Framestore, and Ghost VFX with Chris Harvey serving as a visual effects supervisor.[18] Shot with a budget of $91 million,[19] the final cost of the film was $45 million after tax rebates.[2]
Music
In February 2021, it was announced that Danny Elfman was composing the score for the film, having previously collaborated with Raimi on his directed projects.[20] However, in March 2023, Chris Bacon, a frequent collaborator of Elfman, was revealed to have composed a new score earlier in the year; initially both composers were set to receive credit, but ultimately Bacon received sole credit, with Elfman labeled as a co-composer on select tracks.[21][22] Additionally, Michael Giacchino served as "score consultant", while Gad Emile Zeitune is credited with "additional music".[22]
Release
In February 2023, Sony Pictures Releasing announced that 65 would be released theatrically in the United States on March 10, 2023.[23] The film had previously been scheduled for release, though with longer separation between announcement dates and release dates, for May 13, 2022,[24] April 29, 2022,[25] April 14, 2023,[26] April 28, 2023,[27] and March 17, 2023.[28]
Reception
Box office
As of April 9, 2023[update], 65 has grossed $31.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $24.2 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $55.7 million.[4][3]
In the United States and Canada, 65 was released alongside Scream VI and Champions, and was projected to gross $7–9 million from 3,350 theaters its opening weekend.[2][29] The film made $4.4 million on its first day, including $1.22 million from Thursday night previews. It went on to slightly over-perform, debuting to $12.3 million and finishing third at the box office.[30] It made $5.8 million in its second weekend, finishing in third.[31]
Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 34% of 109 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "Sodden sci-fi that somehow finds a way to bungle Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs, 65 is closer to zero."[32] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 40 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[33] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an overall 54% positive score, with 37% saying they would definitely recommend it.[30]
