Mr. Earth

I'll be honest, this movie exceeded my expectations. I never know what to expect when I watch a movie I've never heard of or know the actors. It's always a complete unknown. But I just got drawn into this whole concept the movie explored. Like, honestly, 10 stars for the idea, and 10 stars for the effort. Digging around online for some backstory on this film this was pretty much made for nothing, and it holds its own against films I've seen Hollywood produce for 100 million dollars.

And the music, my word, just beautiful. Had to look it up afterward and saw it had a soundtrack on all the music platforms. Immediately downloaded it. I've listened to the main theme several times now.

So why am I giving it 7 stars and not 10? Because this is a real review. It's not Interstellar. A film like Interstellar in my mind is a 10/10 movie. But it had the budget to become that. This film was lacking a 100-million-dollar budget to showcase the other worlds. And that's really not a knock on the film, the crew, the actors, they just didn't have it, they didn't have any budget, and yet they still found ways around it to make it a powerful story. They also didn't try to duct tape fake buttons on fake spaceship, etc, they somehow just seamlessly got around it all to where it was believable. And I loved that about this movie. They didn't try to do what they couldn't do. They did what they "could do" and they did a really good job.

At minimum go google the soundtrack. Just beautiful.

I thought the story and script was good, but just a little slow moving and brooding. Also, for a Scifi movie, it was skimpy on special effects. I would have liked to see a little more action and more scenes of the alien planet and their civilization. I understand that they were probably on a shoestring budget.

The acting was decent, and actors and actresses did a good job with their parts.

Unless you're expecting a big budget production, I would recommend this movie. It is a believable portrayal of what could happen if an advanced civilization were to interact with members of humanity. By far the best part of the movie was the dialogue.

At the end of the day this is a very human and down to earth story about a father dealing with some very common human themes. It just happens to deal with them on another planet where it contrasts with a civilization where emotions have been lost. I thought it was better than most films at this budget and the main actor was actually really good.

While the pacing could have been faster and the scale larger, this film is simply a deep dive into a man struggling with depression and loss. If you know that going in and can relate, the film works. It's not about action or scale whatsoever. Don't expect blockbuster effects. It's about a very flawed yet relatable man dealing with the pain of loss.

I loved this movie, it has so much heart and soul, and the acting is quite good. I give it a 9 to help offset the mediocre scores it has received as it deserves a much better than a 5.5 rating. No flashy effects but this is made up for by the storyline and engaging characters. Without giving anything away, prepare to be swept up in a otherworldly relationship, a father and daughter growing closer out of a painful past. It is all woven together perfectly and left me feeling more hopeful about finding that ethereal love that is always 'out there' for those who seeking it. Give it a watch, you will not be disappointed.

A very heart felt and thought provoking movie that i'm sure many can relate to. Really enjoyed this movie, great acting and a beautiful score.

This was recommended as i mostly watch science fiction movies. Strictly speaking it certainly is sci-fi, but not your typical blockbuster special effects movie. This movie concentrates more on the story of a man dealing with loss and heartache. Many men certainly will be able to relate to this story and certainly brought tears to my eyes a number of times.

Dont always trust ratings, despite this having a rather modest score, it is certainly worth a lot more and deserves more recognition that it is getting.

Would recommend.
