Alienated

I didn't have any idea what to expect from this movie, but I loved it. It's not your typical flashy, frenetic, slam bang science fiction movie. There's not much flash but there's a lot of great story. The actors never seem like they're acting, they feel like real people. If you want loud fast moving commercial sci fi you'll be disappointed, but if you appreciate a good story with a variety of characters check this one out. I'm a sucker for good story telling and this is one great example. I want this in my collection.

This is an indie film that paid close attention to production values, had good, logical locations, and there were some interesting scenarios that conveyed an intelligence not often seen in smaller films. I love watching indies to discover new, up-and-coming talent, in front of, and behind the camera. This film accomplished a lot with a micro budget, which I enjoy seeing. The lead actress, Gracie Lacey, is enormously appealing and I thought her work was very good. Her counterpart, Michael Carico also does an admirable job, but some of the script didn't do his character any favors in the romance writing department. The writing is mostly good (not to mention intelligent), but there were instances where his character's reactions to Lacey's character were out of the blue, and (in my view), Lacey's alien character would/should have ended the relationship on the spot. Maybe her alien character likes great hair, because Carico DEFINITELY has a luxurious mane! Overall though, a nice night at the movies!

Once in a while, filmmakers conjure up an unique story about aliens that goes about it in a different way.

I didn't know what to expect - because there was little indication that this would be one of stories that grabbed you by a different tangent of your psyche.

This was not a film that was IN YOUR FACE like most sci-fi movies that thrust you into special-effects. On the contrary, you find yourself in what seems like a normal, quirky tale of people and how they meet aliens.

But maybe I am revealing too much already.

Suffice it to say, it was not a masterpiece, nor a bastion of stellar acting or celebrities. It was a small story that should engage those thirsty for a story versus being bombarded by effects and over-the-top scientific terminologies.

And I truly enjoyed the ride and the protagonists.

Recommended only for thoughtful individuals.

Don't get too caught up with this one. It provides a bit of hope for a brighter future. The actors believably play their roles well. Watch, enjoy, and think about the possibilities.

I'm a sucker for anything having to do with UFO's and romantic comedies so this film is right up my alley. It is charming, heartfelt and has just the right amount of otherworldliness. Speaking of which, Gracie Lacey, the lead female, is a great find. The chemistry between her Michael Carico produces some nice onscreen sparks and Paul Hayes as Ray Watts steals his scenes. I enjoyed the film's high-key aesthetic and even though the spacecraft effects look more on the affordable end, they were well-designed and executed and blended nicely with the movie which is a testament to the filmmakers' skill.
