Why Dark Matter Stands Out in the Multiverse Genre
Films like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Everything Everywhere All at Once have already become the face of “Multiverse Saga” in the film industry, but Dark Matter still manages to stand out, thanks to its different, deeper, and emotional storylines.

Dark Matter has been popularly considered as a deeply human story about love, sacrifice, and family, with a refreshing tag of sci-fi-thriller attached to it.
Whether you’re a science fiction enthusiast, or just love a touching story, Dark Matter’s for you. And with the second season up in line, oh boy, things are gonna be crazier!
