Cosmic Dawn

Some of the acting is not perfect, to be sure, but this movie is a small masterpiece, and it is already being, and will be, so recognized. Psy travellers will know that herein is to be seen on a screen some of the most real renditions of the unrenderable.

I hadn't heard about this 2022 sci-fi thriller titled "Cosmic Dawn" from writer and director Jefferson Moneo prior to sitting down to watch it. Normally, I am not overly keen on sci-fi movies, but the synopsis for this particular movie actually sounded interesting, and thus I opted to watch it.

I will say that writer and director Jefferson Moneo managed to deliver a rather unique movie here, for better or worse. "Cosmic Dawn" is not your average run-of-the-mill mainstream movie, because the storyline is pretty far out there. And in that sense, then writer and director Jefferson Moneo managed to capture the dangers of a cult and the way that a cult works in brainwashing and manipulating its members in a rather entertaining manner. Sure, I am no expert on cults, and never been in a cult, but I really found the portrayal of the Cosmic Dawn cult in this movie rather interesting.

The movie was actually entertaining and it is worth watching, especially if you enjoy movies that are not mainstream movies. It was a refreshing change of pace, I would say, and I can recommend you sit down to watch "Cosmic Dawn" if you get the chance.

While "Cosmic Dawn" was enjoyable and entertaining throughout the entire course, I have to admit that I didn't care much about the last 5 minutes of the movie and the ending to the movie. But of course, that is a matter of personal taste and preference. But other than that, then I found "Cosmic Dawn" to be wholesome and entertaining.

While I wasn't familiar with the cast in "Cosmic Dawn", I will say that they had managed to put together a great cast ensemble, and the actresses and actors in the movie really put on good performances. I was especially impressed with Antonia Zegers (playing Elyse) and also Camille Rowe (playing Aurora).

This movie is strange and bizarre, no doubt about it, but that is part of what makes it enjoyable.

My rating of "Cosmic Dawn" lands on a six out of ten stars.

I kept hoping the ending was going to pay off in this slow moving movie. Nope, It cuts from scene to scene quickly, most flashbacks serve no purpose at all. In the end it just seems a Cosmic Yawn.

Just wow. I hope that the director received accolades for this gorgeous piece of art at all the most important film festivals.

This is an incredible film, one with something for everyone to enjoy - for example, when the cult ecstatically danced and sang to "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft", I knew that i would follow them forever.

The acting on this film is worthy of all the Daytime Emmies, all of them, even the ones for technical stuff and craft services.

The acid sequence was also a winner. I took acid once at a small festival in the early 2000s and it was exactly as portrayed. Uncanny.

And the ending? No spoilers but hang on to your hats! Whoo! Pheoooooow.

I got fooled by the positive reviews Cosmic Dawn got on here. My fault, I should have done more research about it before watching this low budget sci-fi, if you can call it like that. The first half hour looked promising, even though it's obvious that it was very low budget. There was a mysterious vibe about it so I remained interested for awhile. But that completely changed in the second half of the movie. The story got boring, they even started singing which was not a good idea. The acting was what to expect with very low budget movies, mediocre at best to put it nicely. The special effects, again if you can call it like that, looked like they have been done in 1960 when we just didn't have the technology. To be honest I think a twelve year old can do a better job with his phone nowadays. Anyway, just don't bother with this one unless you don't mind boring low budget movies.
