Proximity

But ... it plays out as a like an average feeling kids movie made by well intended amateurs. The main protagonist teen actor did a great job, as did his female sidekick. The rest of the characters were either badly directed or miscast. There are sections where the film shines, but these sections are quickly superseded by ridiculous film-craft in other parts.

Pedestrian direction and editing (get experienced people to do this), completely un-scary and miscast villains with over-sized suits in some cases (Agents are meant to have money. A fitted suit indicates the agent is well resourced. Thus an over-size suit on an agent is hugely distracting), comedic robots which don't intimidate at all and yes the most comedic men-in-black you could image. I laughed out loud when these guys in sunglasses strolled down the hall. Why put comedy into a serious scene?

The scene near the end where they escape, it was impossible to figure out what the heck was happening there. There was not enough precedent to the characters powers that we could draw upon to make sense of that scene. You need to make the details of superpowers clear early on, so we can know what to expect. Ie: Why does the glass disappear to the guy with powers, but not disappear to someone else watching? You need to answer this question in the film somewhere, and make it obvious. Otherwise we are looking at a frustratingly confusing film that had so much potential. If some thinking was done on what to include in the film or not, there would've been great improvement.

Hats off to providing a satisfying alien explanation scene.

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)

Sat through this thinking we may have a very rare but decent Sci-Fi film, sadly it wasn't the case. Okay it was a watchable yarn, but that's all it was. The budget was there the CGI and locations were there and everything about this film said quality but apart from some dodgy acting moments something just didn't click or gel. Again, the most important 10 minutes of First Contact dialogue at the end of the film was over shadowed by annoying and unnecessary music making it difficult to hear the dialogue...Why do movie producers insist on doing that these days!....Dialogue or music not both and certainly not at the same time!

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.

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.
