Mr. Earth

It is not necessary to have everything spelled out for you with this movie. The ideas are presented in the least definitive way because the point is for the viewer to think about the feelings being examined and not the details of when, where, and what. The dialogue was not important between most of the characters, The viewer was prompted to simply feel the feelings involved with each character's situation in this plot. The passage of time was left very vague on purpose. The feelings were the main consideration here. The real meaning of the movie doesn't get presented until the end, so anyone who doesn't get there, doesn't know what this is about. As more AI becomes present in our future we will be called on to decide how important human feelings really are. Without human feeling what is the meaning of anything? Beautiful scenes, engaging music, and fantasy adventure.....enjoy the feelings.

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.

Without spoilers, this is a simply down to Earth movie about a real life, real problems, and real people in a bit unreal circumstances. You could call this an Ode to Earth and life on it. It is easy to watch, heartwarming, thought provoking, and does not contain the usual Holywood nonsense. I hope you will, like myself, fall in love with the story, characters, the plain show of life, and beautiful music. I can imagine this movie will become as strong underdog as it gets. I wish more movies like this gets made as this is a very rare breed. I really hope the people which do not get this movie will one day be able to see its magic.

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.

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.
