P L. Character driven sci-fi, good acting, ALL the characters are believable. I liked the interplay between the friend group As well as between the two partners. Small film, relatively low stakes, nobody’s out to save the galaxy. Nice change of pace from the usual bombastic/fantastic manipulative/exploitative/melodramatic fare. Minimal special effects , just enough to tell the story. Although it is sci-fi and explores profound themes it is essentially a human story. The ending left me wondering, in a good way. I liked it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/25 Full Review jack T I was surprised by this simple film. It was well written and well acted. The dialogue was realistic and the acting just perfect for each character. Heartwarming, enigmatic. Yes a simple film, but well done. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Ian B Alien water melon crashes into field, takes an ice bath, gets abducted by humans and inside a slightly cramped garage gets to know its captors. Hoping to learn the plot, the said alien fails and leaves it to the "dying" moments of the movie to do something that is as pathetic and useless as it is baffling. Possibly the worst Boxing Day movie I've encountered. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Star G Made fun of Christians throughout, and the very last scene had what appeared to be a naked 11 year old girl facing a ROOM FULL of adults. That was very upsetting. Even if it was costume (Which I could not tell)-- it was the appearance of things. Very upsetting. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Nigel R Very feeble. The dialogue, writing, effects, and concept are all sketchy. Like a student movie, only lacking the imagination and enthusiasm. Does my review contain spoilers? No, because there is very little to spoil. The British movie Cosmos (2019) was made for virtually nothing, and still has more heart and soul than this paltry offering. Luke Hemsworth is probably the one performance of the movie that at least elevates it to watchable in parts, owing to his not overacting with a less than stellar script. Bad editing throughout doesn't help, nor do obvious howlers such as a G-man scanning with a Tascam recorder, or a clearly non-magnetic wedding band being magnetically sucked on to the alien entity. In fairness, it kept me watching, in hope of a good twist or denouement - that never came. On the upside: it is possible Mystery Science Theater fodder. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Audience Member So bad it’s actually good. I didn’t see the ending coming. Interesting premise that, with a ton of rewrites and better acting/directing might actually make a decent movie. Bit of a time-waster when you want something to watch but don’t actually want to have to think. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
