Alienated

1st of all if you're expecting a Sci-Fi flick like I was, forget about it.Nate *sees* what he thinks is a UFO (I didn't see a thing) at the start of the movie & that was the only thing UFO related about Alienated (Hey that rhymes) The rest of the movie is Nate & Paige working out their relationship issues (That's it, That's all) Starting out I really was expecting Alienated to be a Sci-Fi flick but it was such a good movie that I didn't care that it wasn't what I expected it to be.Alienated was really painful to watch at times though.It's like the feeling you get when you watch a couple fight in public.You HATE seeing it happen but what can you do? Other than sit there, cringing (GREAT job by George Katt & Jenn Burry because they had me cringing the entire movie) & hoping it will be over soon.If I knew a couple like Nate & Paige I'd tell them to end their relationship already.They were fighting over every single little thing & I mean EVERY single little thing.Alienated is a movie that's most definitely worth watching once & even more than once but once was enough for me.RIP Taylor Negron

I can't say I'm a big review writer, nor can I speak for everyone because my partner fell asleep during this movie but bear with me. I watched it because I had recently given up on Apollo 18 and it happened to be lumped into the same genre and couldn't be bother looking any further. I read the reviews on it after watching, which doesn't make sense but the reviews did and I'll explain. If you are in a relationship now or have been in a long term relationship before then you will understand what the characters are getting at. There are no special effects and nothing that particularly stands out at all I hate to admit BUT it did provide something. It more or less revolves round a couple trying to understand each other and get frustrated with each other in the process. Morbid curiosity kept me watching as the married couple tore into each other and if I got one thing from the movie it's a few tips/lines on how to defuse my next argument with my other half.

For that it's worth a 6.

Okay, I'll be frank - I expected a little something different. perhaps, different and somewhat more suspenseful. This film kept me on the edge of my seat for one reason - I had to know if watching one scene of failed communication between lovers after another for an hour would be worth my time in the end. I admit - it was worth it. The ending was totally unpredictable, in the psychological thriller genre style. And it worked. The acting - really good jobs by both the protagonist actors. I also really enjoyed the supporting actor's performance - Negron's - whose acting reminded me of Al Pacino's in the Scent of a Woman. Overall, I'd say: watch this movie with a glass of wine and a slice of good, aged, expensive cheese to make it through the first 40 minutes or so. After that, you begin to appreciate your time with these characters more and more.

Saw this film at the Sun and Sand Mississippi Film Festival and I really liked it. For me this whole experience was surreal because it was Taylor Negron's last performance. I don't want to give anything away but it was kind of a strange coincidence that this was his last movie. George Katt as Nate blew me away. What an underrated actor! And Jen Burry showed the world why she has already won Best Actress for this performance. It could not have been easy to have such a balanced performance when Katt kept pushing all of her buttons in nearly every scene. These 2 actors had great chemistry and so did Katt and Negron! The script had some of the best dialogue I have seen in an indie film in years. Very well done by the writer. My only problem with the film was ow slow it moved in the 1st half. But for those that like a slow burn you will have no problem, with the pacing like I did. It is slow for a average movie goer but no problem for those that like character based movies instead of expensive special effects popcorn fests.

This is a movie labeled as a Drama & Sci-Fi Thriller, but what that label fails to mention is the subtle humor that permeates the entire film. The humor is dry and dark, but should not be overlooked because it breathes life into the characters. This film is an artists rendition of a troubled relationship with Aliens as a back drop that feels at once real and believable.

The dialogue is very strong and the actors play off each other very well. Taylor Negron is an interesting character that brings balance to the tension between the leads.

I've thought about this movie a lot since I watched it and would like to see it again. It a relief to know that movies with depth and feeling can still be made without million dollar budgets.
