Proximity

Typical movie with a geek who eventually gets a pretty girl.

The soundtrack is completely off: the songs are too loud and they don't match the scenes. Filming is ok and so is the CGI and effects

Acting is ok, but the androids look retarded, with their eyes pointing each at one direction, and the Men in Black organization is really silly.

And a Cessna flying from Costa Rica to Canada is too much to bear.

The underlying idea is quite interesting though, but of course atheists will hate it.

Overall an ok film if you are a teenage geek with a deep need for a pretty girl in your life and some adventure.

So it's present day, our guy works at JPL and is a geek neither he, or anybody else has a smart phone and people exchange numbers by writing them down. A guy who says he writes a blog, gives a business card that has no email address or URL . People go on line but don't exhibit any normal behaviour of modern kids. It's still bearable until the men in black and the stormtroopers arrive and then it descends into a zero budget student movie with an unapologetic hijacking of science by religious twaddle.

A carpenter has become an expert in communications and satellites, built a station and was able to receive an encrypted broadcast and decode it and turn it into an understandable language, while the government couldn't!!!

They fled in the middle of the woods in Costa Rica and suddenly a magic solution to all their problems is shown meters away. A communications and computer expert with an untraceable Internet connection and he has all the connections that can provide them with a boat and a flight to take them from Costa Rica to Canada.

The movie is supposed to be in the present days , the main character is a computer engineer, and still uses a huge size camera from the 1990s or 1980s that doesn't even have a display screen and still uses VCR tapes.

Governmental agent that easily gives an order to shoot unarmed woman, and all his men simply execute the order

And finally aliens navigating the universe searching for jesus.

This movie literally has everything, and that is the problem. I have never seen a movie where 50% is honestly good and the other 50% is film-school horrible.

Overall the acting, special effects, and idea of the movie are good. But, the plot, pacing, and "black-ops government scenes" are so dumb (and out of place) they're comical. I have never edited film in my whole life, but I guarantee I can turn this stinker into a decent story with 30 minutes in the editing room.

This movie has it all! Including (in no particular order): -Alien Abductions -Main Character who is "finding himself" -A train "chase" scene -Cyborgs on motorcycles -A lot of 1990's technology in 2020??? -Social Media bullying -Cable News -A 5,000 mile non-stop Cessna flight from Costa Rica to Canada (Impossible) -Breaking out of Prison -oh, and Jesus (yes, Jesus Christ)

This kind of matter, involving abductions and alien's contacts, are pretty known to everyone that likes it. This story has a good approach of what could happen to abducted people, and the trama is nice. However, this story has gaps that could be solved if the film was a little longer to give us some more information.

In the end, not so bad but not so good. It worth watching only once, just that.
