65 is a 2023 American science fiction film written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and starring Adam Driver.
Sixty-five million years ago, on the planet Somaris, pilot Mills is convinced by his wife that he should take on a two-year space expedition to earn the money needed to treat their daughter Nevine's illness.
The pair quickly realize the planet is home to dangerous and aggressive alien creatures, which are actually Earth's dinosaurs.
During their journey they rescue a small armored dinosaur stuck in a tar pit, which is then killed by a pack of theropods.
As the angered archosaur is about to kill Mills, he is saved when Koa stabs it in its remaining good eye with a large dinosaur claw that she coated in poison berries earlier, blinding it.
In closing titles, the evolution of Earth is shown, at the spot where Mills and Koa left, through an ice age until the present day.
In September 2020, Adam Driver signed on to star in the film, to be produced, written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods; Sam Raimi would co-produce with Zainab Azizi and Debbie Liebling.
[13] In February 2021, it was announced that Danny Elfman was composing the score for the film, having previously collaborated with Raimi on his directed projects.
[16] However, in March 2023, Chris Bacon, a frequent collaborator of Elfman, was revealed to have composed a new score earlier in the year; initially both composers were set to receive credit, but ultimately Bacon received sole credit, with Elfman labeled as a co-composer on select tracks.
[3] In the United States and Canada, 65 was released alongside Scream VI and Champions, and was projected to gross $7–9 million from 3,350 theaters in its opening weekend.
The website's consensus reads: "Sodden sci-fi that somehow finds a way to bungle Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs, 65 is closer to zero.
