Alienated

This is not overly complex and not groundbreaking cinema, but it is a fun film. The direction is competent and the acting is decent. The one exception is newcomer Gracie Lacey, who lights up the screen with an excess of charm and personality. Hopefully we will see her in much more. Overall a good night's viewing.

I didn't have any idea what to expect from this movie, but I loved it. It's not your typical flashy, frenetic, slam bang science fiction movie. There's not much flash but there's a lot of great story. The actors never seem like they're acting, they feel like real people. If you want loud fast moving commercial sci fi you'll be disappointed, but if you appreciate a good story with a variety of characters check this one out. I'm a sucker for good story telling and this is one great example. I want this in my collection.

I'm a sucker for anything having to do with UFO's and romantic comedies so this film is right up my alley. It is charming, heartfelt and has just the right amount of otherworldliness. Speaking of which, Gracie Lacey, the lead female, is a great find. The chemistry between her Michael Carico produces some nice onscreen sparks and Paul Hayes as Ray Watts steals his scenes. I enjoyed the film's high-key aesthetic and even though the spacecraft effects look more on the affordable end, they were well-designed and executed and blended nicely with the movie which is a testament to the filmmakers' skill.

At first this appears to be a B-class alien movie. Then it appears to be a B-class romance movie. But the longer it goes on, the more interesting it becomes. By the time it gets to the science part-- FOR ONCE the writers offer a hypothesis that at least makes sense from a science / fiction viewpoint. That in itself was impressive, because it wasn't stupid. Such a well-thought-out, uncontrived plot element is very unusual in this type of film. I suspect they took this from established quantum physics theory; it is just too good to be a random story point.

Some of the acting is cornball, but still fun and tolerable. The real clincher / winner is the last 15 minutes of the movie, which likely could not have been better written or directed. This is often where a movie falls short; those last minutes can make or break a film. Fortunately for this one, it makes the film in a large way, and turns what might have been a UFO turkey into an unusually enjoyable winner.

This is one of those rare low-budget sleeper flicks that is well worth watching.

This is an indie film that paid close attention to production values, had good, logical locations, and there were some interesting scenarios that conveyed an intelligence not often seen in smaller films. I love watching indies to discover new, up-and-coming talent, in front of, and behind the camera. This film accomplished a lot with a micro budget, which I enjoy seeing. The lead actress, Gracie Lacey, is enormously appealing and I thought her work was very good. Her counterpart, Michael Carico also does an admirable job, but some of the script didn't do his character any favors in the romance writing department. The writing is mostly good (not to mention intelligent), but there were instances where his character's reactions to Lacey's character were out of the blue, and (in my view), Lacey's alien character would/should have ended the relationship on the spot. Maybe her alien character likes great hair, because Carico DEFINITELY has a luxurious mane! Overall though, a nice night at the movies!
