Area Q.

I could not thoroughly enjoy this movie because of the Portuguese dialog - And No Subtitles! Toward the end of the movie - where the dialog was very important - It was entirely One-Sided. If you are someone that is fluent in Portuguese, well Good For You!

I'm not and I missed out on the ending of the movie. It wasted my time.

This would have been a good movie otherwise.

Standard alian abduction. Saw it on Tubi which gave me the option to turn on captions, But then the captions only said "(speaking in Portuguese)". The english was captioned in english.

Well, thanks for nothing.

For the first 2/3 of the movie Mr. Mathews was traveling with a translator, so that sufficed. But at 1 hr, 11 minutes, Mathews had a one on one conversation with Joao Batista.

Batista speaking Portuguese, Mathews seems to understand him. But we English speakers only get one side of the conversation, and none of the answers.

Showed parts of Brazil I've not seen before, not the typical Amazon or Rio. Reminded me of 'Monument Vally'.

The hotel on the rock was interesting.

I would give it a 5. I've seen worse. But I don't feel that I even saw this. So just 1.

I really enjoyed this film. It was an unexpected delight. My main issue was the background music! It made it feel very dated and was overly dramatic and almost turned it into a comedy. But I loved the story, which saved it! The setting was perfect. Beautiful location. Sensitive to the subject and the special effects were pretty good! Isaiah Washington was well cast..Good job, well done!

I completely disagree with the bad reviews!

First of all, the storyline is a GREAT concept.

Secondly, the acting is well done for a low budget film, even though not all the actors are professional, it does add to the film a sort of documentary prospective.

Last but not least, is that the directing and videotography for a single camera low budget film are beyond compare.

This film should be a must see for all who are preparing to make a leap into movie-making on a budget, the video editing is well done as is the sound editing, but nothing beats having a keen eye for filming, reminds me of the work of cinematographer Bert Glennon !

I really enjoyed this film. OK the production was a little low budget and the supporting cast could have been a little more polished, however the main stars more than made up for this with solid performances. When I say this is "A Sci-Fi story, not a Sci-Fi epic", I mean that this movie doesn't have or need a million dollar effects budget as this is a simple story about our planet, hope and better tomorrows. The effects were well done, and did not distract me from the main narrative as badly done effects can do. The movie is for those whom don't mind their Sci-Fi with a little subtle "X-Files" orientation for sure. In the beginning our hero is the non believer digging around in search of his missing child. Then as strange things ensue as he reaches what he sees as the unbelievable, undeniable truth (the truth is out there). The mystery unfolds and this happy tale develops into the ending you hoped for.

This is a Saturday afternoon TV Sci-Fi movie for everyone, whether you be hardened, old skool, Sci-Fi lover or you're just the girlfriend/boyfriend, watching along for the ride as there is nothing else on. I enjoyed the 90 mins and so did my girlfriend.

5.6/10 from me
