Three years ago, the first case of a global plant virus was recorded, and it started to ravage most
of our ecosystems. Eating food infected with the virus causes severe autoimmune diseases,
and the loss of plant life has decreased the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere
to 10% which has increased the number of natural disasters all over the world. The world's leading
research laboratories have been unsuccessful in developing a cure, and people are starting to
think the planet is doomed. The only hope left is "Project Gemini", developed by Doctor Steven
around two ancient alien artifacts discovered by paleontologists who are sure the objects are four
billion years old, before there was any kind of life on Earth. Steven's team has recreated
the super-tough materials that the sphere and the engine are made of and have made copies,
and this engine has allowed them to build a ship that flew unmanned and found a suitable planet
to terraform. The sphere is for creating life and works thanks to dozens of commands that the
team has finally finished decoding, it's also proof that life on Earth was created by aliens.
A team consisting of both doctors and military pilots will be traveling to create Earth 2.0
with the sphere in the solar system TESS, which is several hundred light-years from here. Steven
has a wife called Amy, who doesn't want him to go on this mission. On the day of the launch,
she still comes to the base to try to stop Steven from leaving, but she doesn't make it on time and
must watch how the ship leaves the planet. When the vessel leaves the atmosphere, an unusual crack
appears on the alien sphere, indicating they may not be alone. Using the alien engine technology,
the ship opens a warping portal that allows them to jump across the universe. However as soon
as they make it to the other side, the systems indicate an error: they haven't arrived at TESS,
they're somewhere unknown. Steven blames engineer Peter for this, claiming he made a mistake when he
entered the coordinates, so he's relieved of his duties for now. Moments later, while Steven rests,
he keeps thinking about Amy, but also about the first time he activated the sphere, which allowed
him to see some weird humanoid form that quickly disappeared. Afterward, Steven asks the team to
try to set the jump trajectory to figure out where they are, but it's impossible to do because all
their data is messed up, as if they moved between the third and fourth dimensions. Meanwhile Peter
leaves his bunker and takes one of the security cameras so he can inspect the sphere alone. At
that moment, the computer announces someone has opened the repair airlock and that there's an
unidentified object approaching. To everyone's shock, they suddenly see a frozen Peter floating
outside. Doctor David thinks Peter ended things because he couldn't live with his mistake, but
Doctor Leona refuses to believe it because she's known Peter for eight years and he wasn't that
kind of guy. Steven scolds her for crying over the guy that has doomed humanity and orders her
to take over Peter's duties from now on. Later, David shares that when his daughter died, he also
almost ended things, but he thought he could be useful instead. Now that the mission is over he's
feeling useless again, but Steven promises him they'll find a solution. At that moment,
the ship comes across a planet made of volcanic rock. It doesn't have oxygen, but the outside
environment isn't aggressive, meaning they'd only need breathing masks. Steven thinks it's
the perfect alternative to carry on their plan and is eager to land, but Captain Ryan stops him,
pointing out they didn't do a proper examination of the planet yet, so Steven is recklessly risking
the safety of the crew. Steven doesn't care though, and reminds everyone he's the one calling
the shots here. The team will go down on a shuttle while officer Richard stays on the mothership. As
soon as the shuttle comes closer to the planet, they encounter a very aggressive storm, so they
have to activate the braking thrusters to slow their fall. It'll also use up all their fuel and
prevent them from coming back, but it's their only chance to survive. As the shuttle hits the ground,
the crew passes out and Steven dreams of the time he gifted Amy a bracelet made with a particular
part of the old sphere, trying to connect the two most important things to him. Moments later,
the crew wakes up and immediately gets back to work. The shuttle hasn't received critical damage,
but the fuel is low and they're stuck here. Steven doesn't see the problem with this because they
came to stay for four years, and even if they didn't land on the spot they wanted, he's sure
they can use one of the huge caves as a dome for the sphere to be launched in. Meanwhile in the
hidden corridors of the shuttle, a weird goo drops off the walls. In the mothership, Richard does an
inspection of the other rooms and finds this goo as well together with the missing camera. Once
everyone is properly suited up, the crew takes the sphere to the nearest cave and activates it
successfully. Then they return to the shuttle to begin collecting data, but Ryan interrupts their
work to announce martial law is in effect in the station. To explain his decision, he shares some
files Richard sent him while the doctors were working. It's a video of Peter recording himself
while he inspects the sphere so he can't be accused of mistakes later. When he opens the
door to the engine, he finds something moving in the shadows that suddenly jumps on him and
kills him before throwing him out of the ship. The camera can't capture the shape of this creature,
but Richard explains he's checked all the footage and that alien has been with them since they left
Earth because it traveled inside the sphere like the Trojan Horse. It probably caused the failure
during the jump, but it's not on the mothership anymore, it's gone down to the planet with the
shuttle. Richard can track it because the alien causes interference in the electromagnetic field,
explaining the bad recording. The discussion's suddenly interrupted by David, who is noticing
something weird on the system: the sphere is running a different program than the one they
uploaded. Steven wants to go back to the sphere, but Ryan stops him, reminding him that he won't
allow him to lead anymore and accusing him of keeping secrets. Ryan reveals Richard's also
found footage of Steven seeing that weird shape back on Earth months ago, so he knew there was
potential for a threat and yet he told nobody, meaning Peter's death is his fault. Offended
by this accusation, Steven rushes out of the room while thinking about all the work he and David put
into this project. Steven hadn't been sure David should've come with them because he was still
grieving, but David convinced him he was fine and wanted to make a better Earth to prevent other
kids from dying like his daughter did. Moments later, Steven meets with David and asks him to
sneak out with him through the airlock to check on the sphere. David doesn't want to disobey Ryan,
but Steven changes his mind by reminding him of his daughter and the future of the planet.
As soon as they make it to the cave, they notice the sphere is creating an alien life form faster
than it created life on Earth because someone readjusted the settings. Steven immediately
begins working on the sphere's settings, ignoring David's pleas to leave and discuss things with
everyone. At that moment, David notices on their radar that the alien is getting closer,
so he fires a warning shot to try to make Steven move. Steven responds by taking out
his own weapon, but before things can get ugly, they notice the alien's already entering the
cave. After Steven grabs a piece of the sphere to take with him, both men begin running away,
noticing the creature's getting closer because of its shadows and the noises it makes. They
finally get a full view of it when they leave the cave, but before the creature can attack them,
they manage to get back into the shuttle and shut the airlock. David calls Steven out for risking
their lives, but Steven reminds him the sphere is more important and next time he won't hesitate to
shoot. Then Ryan shows up to scold Steven as well, and when Steven explains they'll have to
use force to stop him, Ryan punches him. Suddenly, the computer raises an alarm to let the crew know
the module's integrity has been compromised. Leona leaves her room to check the issue and finds lots
of goo in the corridor, only to suddenly be pulled back into a different area. It's Frank,
who informs her the alien has made a hole in the low deck and now is in the lander. Very carefully,
the pair makes their way to hide in the lab, where it's getting very hard to breathe. In a flash,
the lights go out and a strange noise can be heard coming from behind the plant units. This
means the alien is here, so Frank pushes Leona out of the room, and as she runs down the corridor,
she can hear Frank's screams while the alien kills him. Leona meets with the rest of the team
in the control room and tells them what happened, prompting Ryan to scream at Steven for bringing
the alien back with him. The creature entered by making a hole in the hull, it also has damaged
the generator and the cameras aren't working, so they've lost contact with Richard and they
don't have visuals on the rest of the ship. Their only solution is to make to go to the
backup generator and reconnect everything, which is extremely difficult to pull off if they can't
track the creature, prompting Steven to volunteer to go since it's his fault. With his weapon out,
Steven carefully makes his way to the generator and manages to bring back the communication
system. The team can track the alien now and warns Steven that it's near him, but as soon as Steven
tries to leave, he begins hearing those noises. Luckily Ryan thinks fast and drags him back into
the control room by using a metal rope. Then, the team makes a plan together to smoke the alien out
of the ship. While Steven waits outside to play bait, Leona opens the airlocks followed by the lab
door, rushing to hide in another room as the alien comes out. The creature quickly begins making its
way through the airlocks, but when Richard tries to turn on the engine to burn it out, he can't
because the alien is interfering with the signal. Steven runs for his life and Leona comes to help
him, but at that moment, the alien comes out, and Richard regains access to the engine. Steven and
Leona run back inside as the creature is hit by the fire, but this isn't enough to kill it and it
tries to reach Steven, who is being dragged inside by David. The alien's tentacle hurts David's
arm right as they close the door, leaving the creature's limb inside. While the beast returns to
the cave, Ryan shuts the airlocks and the others get to reseal the hole. Moments later, the team
finds Frank's body, and while Leona decides to end things for herself because of her grief, Steven
thinks about Amy again. She had tried to convince him not to leave by explaining she was working on
a vaccine, but more importantly, she was pregnant, yet this was still enough to make Steven stay
because saving Earth was more important than his personal life. David goes to the lab to get his
wound bandaged and Steven brings the tentacle to study it. He discovers the creature is a biorobot
made from the same material as the sphere, which means the sphere's goal has always been to make
these beasts. Steven informs David that the tentacle has infected him with a bacteria with
a very powerful defense mechanism, meaning his blood now holds the key to making a vaccine to
save Earth. As soon as Steven makes a cut on the tentacle, the lights go crazy and he remembers the
image he saw back on Earth, meaning the alien is a transponder and this is the way his race colonizes
planets. Steven decides they need to kill the alien and restore the sphere's settings, but
Ryan locks him up in the lab and tells him he's under arrest for putting everyone's life at risk.
Ryan points out lives are expendable to Steven, and David agrees, saying Steven only wants to
play hero and he never cared about humanity. This makes Steven remember her last argument with Amy,
who accused him of having a savior complex before throwing her bracelet away. Steven continues to
do his research in the lab and gets a theory that Richard confirms when he checks the travel logs:
they didn't jump through space, they jumped through time. They're still on Earth but four
billion years in the past before life existed, and the cloned sphere they brought is the same one the
paleontologists find later in the future. Ignoring the fact David's wound is getting worse, Steven
gets excited when he realizes the sphere fragment he grabbed earlier is the same one he uses in the
future to make Amy's bracelet, so he proceeds to write a message on it to teach Amy how to activate
the sphere they left behind. Meanwhile in the present, Amy shows up at Steven's lab while trying
to deal with the news saying the team failed their mission. Suddenly Richard brings worrisome news to
Steven: Ryan is preparing explosives to blow up the sphere and has turned off his radio to avoid
complaints. Steven asks Richard to re-open the airlock so he can get out and as soon as he finds
Ryan with the bombs, he begins explaining they can make a better plan than this. Their conversation's
interrupted by a shot that kills Ryan out of the blue - it's David, who's escaped through
the airlock and has gone deranged because of the infection, making him think the alien has chosen
him to help it makes things right because humans are a malfunction from the sphere. Steven throws
Leona's rubik cube at the wall to distract David and lands a shot on him, prompting David to run
away wounded. Afterward, Steven activates the bomb before going outside to shoot a flare to
get the alien's attention. Steven makes it chase him to the control room and locks it up there,
but as he runs down the corridor, David opens fire on him and pushes him into hiding. At that moment,
the alien breaks down the door and approaches Steven, who manages to get it off him with a
quick shot. The alien chases Steven as he begins to run away, and when he makes it back to the
control room, he bumps into David, who tries to kill him. His actions are stopped by the alien
showing up and killing him first, giving Steven the chance to run out of the shuttle right before
the bomb finally explodes and kills the beast. Steven passes out outside for a few seconds and
is woken up by Richard trying to contact anyone alive. Richard wants to come to save him, but
the storm is too strong and Steven tells him to stay back while he returns to the cave to use the
sphere. Meanwhile in the present, Amy finds her bracelet again and finally notices the message,
so she uses it to activate the sphere as well. At that moment, husband and wife meet again in a
fusion of past and present, and Steven hurries to share the formula for the vaccine before
expressing his love right as the connection ends. Steven dies in the cave because of the lack of
oxygen and Amy cries when she understands she's a widow now. Many months later, Amy is raising a
very healthy baby thanks to the vaccine that is now helping the Earth to become a better place.
