On this Triple Feature we’re looking at three comic-adjacent films—projects either adapted from graphic novels or conceived in that visual language: Oblivion, Snowpiercer, and The Fountain—each exploring memory, identity, and survival inside closed systems.

Oblivion, directed by Joseph Kosinski and based on his unpublished graphic novel, follows Jack Harper, a drone repair technician stationed on a post-apocalyptic Earth after a war with alien “Scavs.” As he services automated defense machines from a sleek sky tower, he begins recovering fragmented memories that contradict the official narrative. A crash survivor and a band of human rebels force him to confront the truth: he’s a clone sustaining an AI-controlled occupation.

Snowpiercer, directed by Bong Joon-ho and adapted from the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, is set aboard a perpetually moving train carrying the last survivors of a climate catastrophe. The rigid class hierarchy places the poor in the tail and elites in the front. Curtis leads a violent revolt through each car, exposing the brutal mechanics of engineered inequality.

The Fountain, directed by Darren Aronofsky, interweaves three timelines—16th-century conquistador, modern scientist, and far-future space traveler—linked by a man’s obsession with conquering death and saving the woman he loves. The film blends mysticism and science fiction into a meditation on mortality and acceptance.
