With Interstellar as the jumping-off point but with a fraction of the budget and mostly Earth-bound, The Titan sees the earth once again being rendered imminently uninhabitable and outer space colonisation the potential solution; the solution here is the experimental genetic mutation of the test astronauts and its consequences both on the test cases and family, with some consideration of the ethics of genetic experimentation along the way. This is for the most part a steady consideration of its subject matter punctuated by occasional lurid violence and body horror, and its pace may prove too slow for most viewers, but its treatment of the issues and the developing story of the central family are mildly interesting.
