Reviews:
“There’s a lot of sadness and despair, throughout. Expect a drama, first, with touches of science-fiction and horror, which means a lot of this film resides in dialogue, emotion and basic life struggle projected in distant futures. It doesn’t make it bad, but it makes it slow and intense.” Tales of Terror
Release:
5 Galaxies will be available on DVD and Digital on December 10th 2019 from Uncork’d Entertainment.
