Captain Nova plot
2050. Earth is in such bad shape that veteran fighter pilot Nova (Anniek Pheifer) is tasked with traveling back in time to prevent a disastrous environmental disaster. But what nobody has taken into account is a side effect of time travel: Nova (Kika van de Vijver) becomes young again and crashes at the age of twelve. Nobody takes her seriously anymore, except Nas (Marouane Meftah) who tries to keep the mysterious girl and her flying robot ADD out of the hands of the secret service. Can Nova and Nas still save the world?

Old Dutch dredge. I don't really like Dutch films anyway and this film confirmed my suspicion. A weak story in which the so-called climate crisis is also pushed. Anyway, it is fiction after all, so to speak, so it fits in with the film of course. 
The acting is also Dutch-style, clumsy and far from convincing. And who on earth comes up with the name Luchtmeijer... Laughable 
Then there's the CGI... Well... This is the last homegrown film I've seen for a while.
Fun for the little ones perhaps, although I wouldn't let my kids watch this.

In 2050, Nova Kester [Anniek Pheifer] travels 25 years back in time with the help of Simon Valk Jr [Harry van Rijthoven] and Timo [Yannick Jozefzoon] in the hope of preventing an ecological disaster. However, she could not foresee that she would become 25 years younger as a result of this trip. And it is of course much difficult for 12-year-old Nova [Kika van de Vijver] to persuade Simon Valk Sr [Pierre Bokma] to stop his preparations for drilling in the North Pole. Fortunately, she gets help with the 15-year-old Nasrdin [Marouane Meftah] and her faithful drone ADD [voice: Sander van de Pavert]. Weird ecological SF drama apparently assumes that the world is safe as long as we don't drill at the North Pole. Furthermore, it is ruined by the extremely lackluster playing of the children, which means that it is never convincing. Bokma is good, but his contribution (like Pheiffer's) is very limited. The ending is (almost hilariously) tasteless.

At first I was afraid that this would become a bit of a hobby film, with predictable dialogues ("The connection to the base can happen at any moment -"), the infantile voice of ADD and his clichéd inability to recognize humor and irony, but this soon develops into a smooth youth film with a nice variation on the time travel paradox, beautiful photography and FX (the "freeze mode"!) and a few excellent performances, especially from Hannah van Lunteren as a no-nonsense detective Claire Luchtmeijer and Robert Bleij as the weaselly Simon Valk junior (in 2025). A film with self-confidence.
