Encounter 2021: Release Date, Updates and More!

Hello, Readers! The upcoming science fiction film Encounter 2021 is scheduled to launch on Amazon Prime Video, the world’s largest digital video platform. It relates the narrative of a Marine on a quest to save his children from an extraterrestrial invasion by rescuing them.

Michael Pearce, a BAFTA-winning director, directed the picture, which was initially named Invasion. Pearce and Joe Barton collaborated on the screenplay. The information that is currently accessible regarding this picture does not provide many details, which isn’t always a bad thing. It’s fun to be surprised and not know everything there is to know about a film.

On September 3, the film had its global premiere at the 48th Telluride Cinematic Festival, where it received great reviews for Riz Ahmed’s acting, the score, and the overall film theme of a father’s love story with his sons.

Encounter 2021: Release Date

It began filming in October 2020, and Amazon Studios announced in September that the film will premiere on 3 December 2021 in select theaters across the United States (US), followed by a worldwide release on 10 December 2021 on their Over The Top (OTT) platform Amazon Prime Video.

Encounter 2021: Official Teaser

The teaser below is fantastic because it doesn’t reveal anything about the plot of the film. We often get the impression that we’ve seen the entire movie after watching a teaser or trailer.

We witness the trio in perilous situations, and the picture is action-packed. However, we can tell that the video is emotionally intense, as the father and boys must do everything they can to survive.

What is this about?

Two young brothers are fleeing with their father, ex-Marine Malik Kahn (Ahmed), who is attempting to shield them from an inhuman threat. The lads must leave their childhood behind as they confront a new existence that is fraught with danger.
