This seems exactly like a student film trying to pass as a full length film just to serve as some guys' thesis work. The core idea behind it is actually cool, and if this movie was given the proper hard work and love it needed, it could've been something genuinely worth watching.
As it stands, it is simply a soft sci-fi short film that has been padded with an inexcusably large number of meaningless montages. You get a little bit of story, then a bunch of shots of the lead actress in her underwear, or some blurry flashbacks that contribute nothing to the story. It has some good shots, the acting is passable, but the audio design is glaringly bad. You should never be questioning the music choice while watching a movie, but they seem to have had no idea how to enhance the mood of a scene using an apropos soundtrack.
This movie just makes me sad, not because of the story, but because it is just full of wasted potential. Actors who seemed to really be trying, a story that really could have entertained and added something new to the genre, cinematography that was visually appealing but totally out of place. I hope the director of this film learns from it, and next time tries to put everything he can into making the movie a high quality production. A low budget is no excuse! With a good idea, good music choice, decent actors and careful cinematography, even a low budget film like this could be a great watch. Sadly, this didn't meet the criteria of something I would call entertaining.

Thanks to Shortwave I think we have a new definition for the word "boring", if not "extremely boring". First of all I am a fan of sci-fi movies. There is always alot of potential in that genre of movies because almost everything is permitted, even the craziest stories, but it has to be a good entertaining story. And that's the major problem with this movie, it is everything but entertaining. The story is boring and incredibly slow. The acting is a disaster, especially from Juanita Ringeling. She's so annoying to watch that it is difficult to do worse than her. I don't know if it was the director's orders but apparently the main thing she does is walk very slowly and caress all kind of random objects, like a tree, a bamboo stick, a door, a kitchen counter, her private parts and so on. I really struggled to stay awake and I was not even tired. How this movie got those ratings on here is just a mystery to me.
The most boring and pretentious film i have ever seen! A waste of mine and your time.fell asleep 4 times,nothing happens and the acting is crap.Avoid.
So the Storyline sounded very Good. But thats all.
The Actors are terrible, and not B Movie like terrible.. Absolutely terrible.
It started ok, but went downhill in no time.
Almost nothing in this Movie is remarkable or any good.
If you want to see a Movie that puts you asleep, well this is your Movie. But if you except something like White Noise with good Actors and a mediocre Writing, stay away from this.
I have seen hundreds of Movies with an Rating @ 4 who are way better than this time stealing "insert offensive content here" Movie.

Cannot remember any movie where I just fell asleep without being tired. This movie builds up so slowly that it really is a cure for sleeplessness! Honestly, if you have sleeping problems just watch this movie. Acting is also terrible. It missed everything but the main reason why I rate this movie 1 star is because those behind this movie tried to put some kind of emotion into it by putting a lot of attention into certain scenes but actually got the opposite. A shameful and laughable approach to a situation that is very serious when it happens to anyone in real life. Makers of this movie, do something else!
