The film was released in the United States by Sony Pictures Releasing on March 10, 2023. It grossed $60 million worldwide on a budget of $45-$57 million, and received mixed reviews from critics. 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. During the journey, his spaceship, the Zoic, is hit by a mass of asteroids and crash lands on an alien planet, Earth. With his ship damaged beyond repair, he finds that his passengers have been killed and contemplates suicide until he finds a lone survivor, a young girl named Koa. Mills sends a distress beacon for rescue and decides to take care of Koa. However, they have difficulty communicating due to differing languages and a broken translator.

Mills later discovers a functioning escape shuttle from the Zoic has landed on top of a mountain. To encourage Koa to follow him, Mills lies about her family being atop the mountain, when in reality they perished in the crash. The pair quickly realize the planet is home to dangerous and aggressive alien creatures, which are actually Earth’s dinosaurs. As Mills protects Koa, they begin to bond.
