First Signal

Don't bother. "Written, produced, directed by" same person.

Amateurish production, mostly shot in a hotel conference room posing as a 'bunker'. Premise (title) was intriguing, but ended there. Just a wannabe knockoff of "Contact", sort of. But it nicely gives a nod to Carl Sagan. Actors' dialogue was so wooden and unnatural - there was absolutely no overlapping dialogue... Kind of like Lego people that just sit in their place for over an hour and speak on cue when the director points a finger at them.

The story itself is quite good, and this story concept could be picked up by more aptly funded team to make a great movie out of. It could be morphed into a pretty slick sci-fi action feature. This film, however, has a clunky script. It feels like UFO tropes have been cobbled together into a public lecture designed to 'educate' the audience. The acting, direction, lighting, production design, dialogue, colour grade, editing, makeup, sound design, sound recording, sound mixing are all terrible. The acting from a few characters is good, but that's it.

I only watched it because of the high rating on here.

The actors are terrible, some of the dialogue is awful

It's a film that had promise from the point if the story, but the execution completely ruins the film.

Could not finish it, it was that bad.

Felt I was watching a pirate copy of a film. Obviously low budget. Felt it could have been an amazing film if more money was pumped into it, and better actors. Sound needs massive improvement.

Yaaaaaaawn. There's no original idea here. The writer seems to have no idea what's interesting about science fiction. About 90 percent of the movie is people talking in a cheap, undecorated, serviceless hotel conference room without security. The first 3/4 of the movie is simply unnecessary explanations by amateur actors. I liked some of the graphics and the costumes were good, a waste on such an unexciting story full of cliches that don't even fit the situation.
