Mr. Earth

Without spoilers, this is a simply down to Earth movie about a real life, real problems, and real people in a bit unreal circumstances. You could call this an Ode to Earth and life on it. It is easy to watch, heartwarming, thought provoking, and does not contain the usual Holywood nonsense. I hope you will, like myself, fall in love with the story, characters, the plain show of life, and beautiful music. I can imagine this movie will become as strong underdog as it gets. I wish more movies like this gets made as this is a very rare breed. I really hope the people which do not get this movie will one day be able to see its magic.

This is the story of an ordinary Joe who is abducted by Aliens. Sound familiar? Actually, Mr. Earth is not what you would expect. It is more about what it means to be human than about little green men. Think of it as a low budget Contact or KPAX.

Mr. Earth is surprisingly well written, with good production values. Not a big budget movie but one that keeps you watching and wanting to know what happens to our hero. Why was he taken? Will he get home?

Overall this is an intelligent film with a big heart. I suspect that writer Director Scott Lambson will be one to watch for the future. Worth a watch.

I loved this movie, it has so much heart and soul, and the acting is quite good. I give it a 9 to help offset the mediocre scores it has received as it deserves a much better than a 5.5 rating. No flashy effects but this is made up for by the storyline and engaging characters. Without giving anything away, prepare to be swept up in a otherworldly relationship, a father and daughter growing closer out of a painful past. It is all woven together perfectly and left me feeling more hopeful about finding that ethereal love that is always 'out there' for those who seeking it. Give it a watch, you will not be disappointed.

My family is notorious for putting on random movies and usually they are terrible, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Yes it is a low budget film, but taking it for what it was, I thought it was well done. The premise was intriguing and it ended up being very heartfelt and thought provoking. I was highly impressed by the score which was levels above the average low budget film. I also thought the main actor who played Ben was wonderful. They did a good job subtly providing a sci-fi movie without a lot of special effects and it was (mostly) believable. Am I adding it to my weekly movie rotation? Maybe not. But it was worth the watch and I came away really having enjoying myself. Give it a try and it may just surprise you too!

I really really wanted to like this film. I managed to stick with it and watch the whole thing but it wasn't half hard work. The story is a nice idea and it's done in a completely different way to any other film I've seen.

But the acting from the main character Ben, good lord it was torturous at times. He should be very likeable but he just doesn't seem to have any authenticity. He wanders round the whole film as if he's in a dream and even in the important moments doesn't seem to convey any great emotion.

I've no idea what the last half an hour is for, it was so unnecessary and could've been dispensed with with a much better explanation at the 90 minute mark.

Got to say I did like Ella though, thought she was portrayed very well.
