What is the story of In the Blink of an Eye?

Andrew Stanton’s In the Blink of an Eye (2026) weaves three stories across 50,000 years: prehistoric Neanderthals, a contemporary researcher (Rashida Jones), and a futuristic space pilot (Kate McKinnon). The film examines humanity’s enduring struggle for connection, survival, and understanding across the ages.

Past (45,000 BC): Facing extinction, Neanderthal Thorn (Jorge Vargas), Hera (Tanaya Beatty), and Lark (Skywalker Hughes) must contend with the relentless advance of Homo sapiens, testing their bonds, wits, and will to survive.

Present: PhD student Claire (Rashida Jones) delves into the mysteries of Neanderthal bones, all while managing her relationship with Greg (Daveed Diggs) and tending to her ailing mother.

Future (25th Century): Coakley (Kate McKinnon), a pilot granted extraordinary longevity, faces centuries in space on a mission to populate a new planet, relying on the support and humor of her AI, Rosco (voiced by Rhona Rees).

The stories are connected with symbolism to the concept of the "life cycle", like an acorn connecting timelines.
