Earthrise

I really enjoy this film and I am not a big sci-fiction guru. There's a light touch with details and applied with a subtle touch. The acting was solid. The cinematography was unique and appealing. Outstanding sound. Nice pace that builds. It reminds me a lot of Shane Carruth's Primer (2004). Both are small budget, yet pack a big punch. Yes, there is a chance that you might not like this movie. That's because it is not a movie made for the majority of paying cinema goers, but it is a movie made for the sake of movie making. It is an original, so if you want something that you are used to see and expect beginning and ending in a specific way don't go watching this one. I will finish by saying you must tip your hat to any film maker who takes on such a complex storyline on a small budget. Low budget sci-fiction's usually don't work but somehow the Director Glenn Payne pulls it off. It's a thumbs up for me.

Perhaps this was a thesis film.

It reminded me of community theater. Not because of the acting, but because the sets were sappy at best. The lighting was sophomoric, the camera work was struggling.

The actors were clearly not to blame. Directors need more insight.

And to the person who compared this to early Star Trek -- please at least review the scripts from early Star Trek television productions. We cared about the characters in Star Trek. in Earthrise - nope.

Try again.

I love good Science Fiction. That say's it all, 'Good' Science Fiction. Something that will have a story worth paying attention to, that will not bore me to tears.

Some will say that I have no business sending in a review, as I did not watch the entire movie, but sometimes it would seem, less is more. This is one of those cases. After 20 minutes, I decided life was too short to waste any more time.

Really can't see how this won any awards...

You can take a chance, see if you like it, as it would seem some have liked it, and maybe they are either easy to please, I maybe I am just too damn picky, you will have to decide for yourself.

I'm looking for a movie or possibly even a series set on Mars. I've been scratching my head for some.time now,and I am not getting any closer. What i remember is:A fairly large base on Mars,partially underground in a large cavern the rest above ground in classic Mars movie arcitecture style habitats. There is a full science team working in hydroponics run by a pretty depressed leading botanist professor type. He frequently hallucinates about earth,seeing his beloved earth right outside the windows of the hydroponics. And one day he simply decides to open up the airlock and walk outside,as you can imagine to everyones as to his own disaster. I also remember a female scientist who works at the base having a scientist Sister at NASA on earth that she contantly communicates with on science issues. So I am hoping this might trigger someones memory and hoping someone might leave a note here to me on this. I am going to save this comment and plaster it anywhere I can,but as I say,I hope it will be you who decides to help me.

Thank you!

The acting is unbearably bad. I mean, seriously awful
