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.

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.

I have to agree with psxvince.

Allthough i will not give it a 1 star review.

The acting is, unfortunately, pulling the whole story down with it.

However i was amused by it and because it has more potential, if redone with more experienced actors and maybe a few better lines, i'm giving it 3 stars.

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.

The only impressive thing about this "film" was how they managed to get so many obviously fake positive reviews. To even give this one star was generous. I was once again duped into watching this as the result of the supposedly high scores this steaming log of dung obtained.

All this film consisted of was a bunch of wooden inept "actors" talking to each other. That wouldn't have been THAT unforgiveable if it wasn't for the fact that the dialogue was so unengaging and devoid of thought-provoking ideas.

Now I'm not one to slam a heavily dialogue-based movie, but in order for it to pass, it would HAVE to be interesting and/or original enough to keep its audience's attention. 'First Signal' does NOTHING of the sort.

A dialogue-heavy film that does it right is Pontypool. Similar to 'First Signal', Pontypool was mostly dialogue sci-fi/horror flick that was set in one location, but it was so damned interesting and original, it kept me glued to my seat throughout. To those who read this: watch this film only if you find amusement by watching paint dry. Don't listen to the false high reviews. You have been warned!

I give most movies a chance, and have liked what others found really bad, but this one was truly terrible. Only made it part way into it and had to shut it off. You know those boring training classes you have to endure at work, where you have to perform stupid skits with wooden dialog and acting read off a card? Yeah, that's oscar worthy compared to this. Really, the president travels without security, and gets briefings in a third rate conference room with plastic tables? And along those lines, we're suppose to believe this inarticulate woman, who can't even speak convincingly, and wears no identifiable US pin or badge, is supposed to have earned the highest office on the planet. I'm sorry, but it's even too much of a stretch for me. Truly god-awful!

Okay, from the top, this is NOT ray-guns and spaceships and battles - what it is 100% cerebral sci-fi that you need to watch, yes actually watch, not have in the background while you play your Playstation 3.

The acting is underplayed and beautifully realistic, no-one screams and shouts - well okay, not many people and not very often. People talk and discuss and present ideas. The storyline is incredibly clever and will have you guessing as to where it is going and who you can trust. Indeed who, if anyone, is telling the truth!

Direction and Production are first class. I am so glad that 'The Studios' didn't get the script and turn it into a big budget blockbuster - it proabbly wouldn't have worked one tenth as well.

If you liked 'First Contact' (Jodie Foster) you will probably love this. Ignore the naysayers. Who cannot think beyond the next Star Wars movie and enjoy the pure entertainment of acting.

I didn't think I was going to like this movie when I the first 10 minutes of it, but it surprised me. Other than the obvious setbacks to this movie (money) it was a really great story. I give kudos to the director who while work with a cast of almost all no names whipped them into their parts pretty well. Some may say they were below par, but I think they did an alright job. As for the story, I loved it. I'm hoping the sequel gets made for this and that some production company sees the value of it and puts a few million up. Or at least a few production companies throw a few hundred K into it because it really needs to be continued.... This is probably the first low budget movie I've given 7 stars to. Probably would've given 9 if there was actual money to work with.... Pay attention producers!

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.

The worst film I've watched in my entire lifetime.

Very poor casting, the NSA head or whatever she is gives the appearance of a nervous woman unfitting for her profession and so on..... Dialogues looks entirely artificial, like in old school dramas. And the CGI..... RIDICULOUS!

Basically a bunch of randos in a hotel conference room improvising a script. Community theatre level acting and production. Full disclosure... I couldn't watch move than 7 minutes before shutting it down.

Amaturish actors with amaturish lines lead to no where. I just cannot undestand the thing of referring to the Jewish people in any movie or sitcom whether the mentione is warranted or not take for example Sienfield, the Nanny and this film, the Jewish people suffered alot and do not need publicity like that.

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.

This is a pitiful effort at making a movie. The script has its bright spots, but the acting is atrocious, the directing is bad, several of the shots weren't even in focus at first, and the story became painfully obvious early on. It's like someone gave a local community theater a $50,000 budget to make a film. How this piece of dreck got any awards is horrifying.

I would love to be able to write a full length description of this film but I could not get beyond 5 minutes of some of the worst acting I have ever seen. If these actors got the parts you wonder how bad were the actors who did not get selected. The brief part I did watch looked like it was in a hotel conference room and the acting was so stilted and looked like they were reading from an autocue made us switch off, it is unwatchable.

Terrible acting, wretched script, the sound and sound effects are a joke.

Slamming doors obliterate dialog.

The dialog early on consists of longwinded inane speeches.

The president is alone in the conference room with people she's never met, there is no Secret Service in sight.

Every last actor has no skills at the art whatsoever. I think they rounded up some out of work local weather personalities who have dreamt of becoming movie stars.

The early conference between the president, her NSA advisor, some military types and two non governmental scientists supposedly takes place in a room protected by a faraday cage. Yet people simply open the doors and walk out into ordinary hallways. Clearly, this was filmed in a hotel with conference room facilities.

The president meets with the Prime Minister of the UK and the Russian President. No security, no aides, no translators, no one else that would have to be paid to be an extra.

This movie is a joke. I keep hoping that they'll get to the aliens, this is just daytime television acted by amateurs.

I liked this movie so much I watched it twice. The second time I paused and thought about what I missed the first time. Many reviews here are unfair and indicate a lack of understanding that we humans may not be alone and there may be other beings in the universe far superior to us. And I do not mean some god concept. I would welcome a prequel version of this movie.

The story is great. In spite if the low budget it is still worth the time. It's based on an actual place and the events have some valid references to reality. I would estimate that approximately 45% is fact, 15% is probably fiction, and the rest is possible or just noise. I was there for several years. The stories of non terrestrial activities date as far back as the days of pre Vietnam War. The room where the meeting takes place is multiple levels beneath the surface. Yes, US Presidents have secretly visited. It is also one of the most frequently UFO reported sitings locations worldwide. The people who produced the film had to have personal knowledge of the location and operations. I was entertained.

This is my first review, I've never thought to review a film on IMDB before but after watching this film I felt it was my duty to do so. The internet is plagued with fake reviews for terrible products and films, something needs to change. Into the review:

Acting: I understand not every actor can be great but being less than decent is not an excuse. The acting is stale, forced and painful to watch

CGI: All stock footage and from the public domain, nothing original.

Set: Boring terrible sets.

Camera footage: Terrible choice of camera angles. The lighting is awful for this film and doesn't complement the chosen camera angles at all.

Story: NO SPOILERS I hanged on through the terrible things mentioned above in hope this film would be interesting and offer an observation on the subject that other media hadn't. I was incredibly let down.

Audio: When I started watching this film I thought the film was dubbed English rather than filmed in English, when I checked I was rather surprised. I don't know what it is, maybe the actors wore microphones then they matched up the camera footage with that audio in post-production. Basically, they got it wrong and the spoken words don't match up with what's said in real time.

How did I come to watch this film? This film was on my homepage of my FireTV and the IMDB score at the time of writing this review was 7! I read the synopsis and saw the IMDB score, watched a snippet of the trailer and thought I was going to enjoy this film. I was so wrong

Classification: This film is not listed as an Indie title on Amazon Prime. It was listed as "sci-fi" only. Being an Indie title is though no excuse to be this poor. Saw was an Indie title, look how successful that was. This film is preying on people relying on the IMDB score.

Conclusion: This has got to be the worst Sci-Fi film I've ever seen, yes I watched this. I hanged on for as long as I could because I thought I could trust IMDB scores, I'm still confused how this is still sat at a 7 star review. I ended up skipping scenes after about an hour in because nothing happens, everyone just chats rubbish with no purpose or direction. Really annoyed this awful film was recommended on my homescreen, 2nd along from the left on the top row of my homepage on my FireTV!

This film doesn't get to claim "originality" or "insight" or even "perspective" its just awful in every capacity. The people who came up with this need to go back to Film School, join a job in the business at the bottom and work themselves up to better things to build experience before attaching their name to something like this.

Don't waste your time watching this. Mark Lund if you are reading this, do better. I'm sick of fake review on the internet....

Be prepared for a very low budget production with no action , surely because of no money. Wardrobe, cast, set ( supposed bunker ) and effects all at the lowest standard possible. Avoid.

I did actually watch the film (ugh), but you only need to watch the trailer to realize how terrible this is.

7 out of 10? Yeah right! This is a solid "1".

This should be shown to media students to show how bad a film can be when it has a bad script, terrible direction, badly edited and mainly poorly acted with awful timing, (not that the actors stood a chance with such low production values). IMDB rated it as a 7 which conned me into watching it. Must have fake reviews. Not even a chance of becoming a cult classic, it's so bad.

I selected this movie out of Prime, which had lasted an IMDB rating of 7.0. I rarely watched a movie lower than a 6.0,... so I was anticipated a decent flick.

At 2 minutes in I began to wonder how it achieved a rating of 7.0. It got worse. At 5 minutes in I decided to read the reviews here of this god-awful movie droning in the background. The average user review was 1.0, which I'm assuming is high because we can't vote zero. Nonetheless, I have never seen a worse movie in my life, including Plan B and Killer Tomatoes. The acting was mechanical, the response and interactions were robotic, along with the absolutely silly and forced facial and acting expressions. A lot of the dialogue was so monotonous that I just had to stop the movie 20 minutes in while writing this review, I couldn't stand another minute of it.

IMDB seriously needs to review it's rating system; how could a 7.0 ever happen in an ocean of 1.0's?

To sum it all up; don't bother even watching the review. Every minute used while watching this B movie is a minute well spent on anything else.

Too bad,... could have been a great movie.
