- In the Blink of an Eye marks Stanton’s first live-action feature since John Carter in 2012.
- The sci‑fi drama interweaves three eras to examine connection and mortality, spanning a Neanderthal past, a present‑day anthropology story, and a distant‑future space voyage.
- One future‑set thread follows Kate McKinnon’s Coakley working with a sentient AI to address a disease threatening a ship’s oxygen‑producing plants.
- Early coverage cites a largely negative festival reaction, including an 18% Rotten Tomatoes snapshot from 17 reviews, even as the film won Sundance’s Alfred P. Sloan Prize.
