    Storyline

    • Trivia
      For the shot where Queen Maeve shatters an armored truck, SPX filmed a real truck smashing into a steel pole that was later removed by VFX. Queen Maeve was then shot in front of a green screen in the same location and comped into the real folding truck.
    • Goofs
      The Deep tells Starlight that they have satellites in "geocentric" orbit. It is fair to assume that he meant "geosynchronous" orbit. He next states that they can read a license plate from 380 miles up. It is also fair to assume that he's talking about the same satellites as he doesn't mention any other. Geosynchronous orbit is approximately 22,236 miles above the surface of the Earth.

      A geocentric orbit means an object orbiting the Earth, such as the Moon and thousands of satellites including the satellites that read license plates from space.

    Like nothing on television.
    Refreshingly unique. Fully developed characters. Great acting. Karl Urban A+ performance. Only for adults.
