Curvature

If you want science fiction that respects its own premise, Curvature is available in the US on fuboTV and Fawesome, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video right now. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. With 82 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Lyndsy Fonseca — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. Put it on tonight on fuboTV and see for yourself.

Curvature arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Curvature treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. Helen tries to cope with the recent death of her husband, a scientist who killed himself right when he was on the verge of successfully completing the invention of a time machine. One day, she receives a phone call, and a voice suspiciously resembling her own voice warns her that she’s in danger. Is it possible Helen has time travelled? Lyndsy Fonseca and Linda Hamilton lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2017. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Curvature a chance. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Lyndsy Fonseca's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.
