Area Q.

It's hard to say why I liked this story so much. The Isaiah Washington's understated but natural performance really stood out for me. Perhaps some elements in editing this story fall short of the Hollywood quick-fix treatment, but they made this the kind of movie that draws you in without throwing everything at you point-blank so you won't miss it.

I am very gratified that the ending was not slick, however, the music cues, I think, were a little cheesy and rather made this too sensational for such a poignant ending. I know the music tried to make the point of that being a climactic ending, somehow, it is probably the only thing that missed the mark for me in this beautiful effort.

I congratulate everyone involved in putting this story out, especially with so much crap being spewed out by filmmakers these days.

I recommend this to any fan of science fiction who appreciates the out of the ordinary development of a story, and an abduction story that might have been produced by Hollywood types that like to give us slick and vapid movies in the guise of entertainment-in-a-bottle.

Standard alian abduction. Saw it on Tubi which gave me the option to turn on captions, But then the captions only said "(speaking in Portuguese)". The english was captioned in english.

Well, thanks for nothing.

For the first 2/3 of the movie Mr. Mathews was traveling with a translator, so that sufficed. But at 1 hr, 11 minutes, Mathews had a one on one conversation with Joao Batista.

Batista speaking Portuguese, Mathews seems to understand him. But we English speakers only get one side of the conversation, and none of the answers.

Showed parts of Brazil I've not seen before, not the typical Amazon or Rio. Reminded me of 'Monument Vally'.

The hotel on the rock was interesting.

I would give it a 5. I've seen worse. But I don't feel that I even saw this. So just 1.

I could not thoroughly enjoy this movie because of the Portuguese dialog - And No Subtitles! Toward the end of the movie - where the dialog was very important - It was entirely One-Sided. If you are someone that is fluent in Portuguese, well Good For You!

I'm not and I missed out on the ending of the movie. It wasted my time.

This would have been a good movie otherwise.

Had to abandon as it's too slow. Not to say someone else with a better attention span might enjoy better. But sci fi films for me have to be fast paced stunning cgi and such like.

I completely disagree with the bad reviews!

First of all, the storyline is a GREAT concept.

Secondly, the acting is well done for a low budget film, even though not all the actors are professional, it does add to the film a sort of documentary prospective.

Last but not least, is that the directing and videotography for a single camera low budget film are beyond compare.

This film should be a must see for all who are preparing to make a leap into movie-making on a budget, the video editing is well done as is the sound editing, but nothing beats having a keen eye for filming, reminds me of the work of cinematographer Bert Glennon !
