Cosmos

This was a decent film, but could have been much better. I thought the film was a little to long and there were parts that should have been cut out. maybe made the film around 1.40 mins.

I liked how the guys started out a little distant and as the film progressed you really felt their friendship coming out. I loved the music and felt the film heartwarming between the characters.

It sort of made me feel like thinking about lost friendships and memories i cherish.

Their was a little frustration at certain parts which did not really need to be there and seemed to stopped the film from moving forward with petty scenes.

I sort of wanted to fast forward to get over the scene.

The last 30 mins like most films was really good and kept you on your seat towards the ending which pulled on your heartstrings.

Overall the film was nicely done and i enjoyed it. The actors were great and you felt the bond between them. I think the film makers have loads of talent and for the budget the quality was 1st class and with the right budget, these guys could make a really good film.

Children rating this one are disappointed that there's no lasers or comic book heroes, but adults will get it.

Unfortunately for the audience these days, Hollywood won't make a new movie or television series without a heavy dose of pc, agenda driven, special interest group pandering, or identity politics, anymore.

This movie has none of that, and is quite enjoyable.

Personally, as a sci fi aficionado, I'm very harsh in rating books or vids, and this one is a solid "thumbs up"!

If you can get through the really slow parts, it is a pleasant surprise.

3 astronomers go out to study the stars in the middle of nowhere at night. Suddenly they start picking up a strange signal.

If you were going to make Close Encounters and you had no money, this is how you'd do it. Most of the film is set in the woods at night and in the Volvo where they keep their equipment. Hard to believe how exciting this film becomes and how much tension can be generated through 3 guys tapping away at screens and discussing what might be out there. The film even manages to generate a palm sweaty last 10 minutes and a quite impressive climax given the zero budget. An impressive and intelligent sci-fi adventure.

I'm not sure what was going on with the writers, but there are some serious gaps in the competency of the three main characters who are supposed to be seasoned astronomers/scientists. Subplots are also boring. This film should be no more than one hour long if you condensed it and cut out the fat. But that hour of good story makes it worthwhile overall in my opinion
