Em Outra Vida

It has to be near-impossible to have the job of writing a one- sentence, intriguing byline for a movie like this that also doesn't spoil the story line.

Then people go to the movie expecting Transformers VII and get a fascinating, beautifully character-oriented film like this and are either 1) angry because they're action / explosion fans or 2) upset because they had different expectations - even if they end up liking the film.

If they marketed it as a relationship film, people who went for Sleepless in Seattle would be angry about the sci-fi. It's a no-win scenario for this type of script.

I'd have to argue that it's properly billed as sci-fi in that the circumstances create the context for the story to unfold as it does, and they are "sci-fi" circumstances.

In my mind this movie was very similar to Monsters, which was also mis-marketed and was a beautiful character-driven film.

If you liked films like Monsters or Solaris (Clooney) then you'll probably enjoy this film's pace and themes.

Not sci fi ,not anything just an incoherent plot with mediocre acting. You can't get the time back so don't waste it watching junk like this.

The story sets of on a path that for a sci fi fan could be interesting but somehow like many recent film's ends up not relating to the characters or plot or description in any shape or form.

It seems the entire story almost completely ignores the plot as stated. The acting was not at fault here. It's just basically a bad movie with it's jump from the current to the past to the current to the past, over and over again. Don't waste your time. However, I am required to submit at least 10 lines of critique or it will not pass the minimum requirement to be available for reading. So I lost interest after 30 minutes but still sat here as my wife remained vigilant. When the movie finally concluded after a painful 1:23 hours her response was, and I quote, "Oh my God!". I hope that gives you an indicator to not waster your time.

Horrible. Just horrifically bad. HEAVY accents. Barely understandable. The actors were actually pretty good as far as being believable - but they had a PROFOUNDLY bad script / concept etc . . ANYONE who writes a review on here that is positive has profound mental disease - and should seek professional help. PLUS this movie jumps around so much the viewer literally has no idea what is going on 90% of the time. AND the director of the movie could have even had the main character heavily bearded ( it's supposedly an apocalypse and all ) and then very clean shaven for the earlier jump cuts. LEADING the viewer a bit out of the colossal madness of this film. But of course since this movie is so horrifically bad - he/she did not do this basic thing. DO NOT waste your time watching this. And if you are a sci fi fan and you think this has ANY "cool" sci fi stuff in it - it DOES NOT.

The movie fails to keep you interested. The story is dry and moves between story lines without any clear intentions. The characters have no draw to keep you interested in what is going on. I'm at a loss as to how I managed to make it through the entire movie. It really wasn't what I was expecting based on the brief description of the movie. The movie was not suspenseful and the struggles of Cole and Maya seemed more relationship based and really didn't have a lot to do with surviving after an extra-terrestrial attack. I'm sure there is a small group out there that "saw the deeper meaning to the movie" but I was not one of them. Do not watch this unless you really have no other movie to watch and then I would still consider doing something, anything else.
