Cosmic Dawn

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.

Its sort of an adduction movie with a twist.

The main lead looks like a teenager and she is in her 30 kind of weird.

The acting is good, but you need to like weird movies.

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.

This film left me bored and confused. I always have trouble with the reasoning behind aliens structuring cosmic-scale events around a 'chosen one' or a rather small group of individuals.

Many questions came to mind that were of course left unanswered. If I am expected to fill in this many blanks myself, I may as well have written the script myself. It probably would have had more coherency.

In my opinion, rental money wasted and invaluable time lost. Find something better to watch. It won't be hard to do.

Just watch it as an antidote to the cycle of generic blah that is coming out.

If you don't take it too seriously and are mature enough to overlook the budget then this film offers some genuinely great moments.
