Cosmos

3 astronomers go out to study the stars in the middle of nowhere at night. Suddenly they start picking up a strange signal.

If you were going to make Close Encounters and you had no money, this is how you'd do it. Most of the film is set in the woods at night and in the Volvo where they keep their equipment. Hard to believe how exciting this film becomes and how much tension can be generated through 3 guys tapping away at screens and discussing what might be out there. The film even manages to generate a palm sweaty last 10 minutes and a quite impressive climax given the zero budget. An impressive and intelligent sci-fi adventure.

The film is certainly slow, but it's hardly a problem when the makers of a movie want to take their time in portraying their vision. I have little affection for those who want a "flash, bang" type of movie, usually indicating that they have little sense of story and instead seek a visual spectacular, all too often mindless. This isn't a film for them, and it clearly isn't intended to be. It is a low budget movie with an actual story, and I see no reason why the makers should be expected to apologise for that. It's a story of people, and their search for something outside themselves, and to their utter amazement they find it. Simple, clean and well worth watching. If you don't like it then so be it, but don't indulge in cries of "fake reviews" or other similar mindless attention-seeking refrains. It is a film that I watched from start to finish with fascination, and there are precious few films I bother to pay that sort of attention to these days. If you want a story well told, with people who are real and have their own foibles then I suggest you watch it and make up your own mind, rather than "follow the herd" in decrying what isn't to your taste. You may be pleasantly surprised

I'm not sure what was going on with the writers, but there are some serious gaps in the competency of the three main characters who are supposed to be seasoned astronomers/scientists. Subplots are also boring. This film should be no more than one hour long if you condensed it and cut out the fat. But that hour of good story makes it worthwhile overall in my opinion

I stumbled upon this 2019 movie titled "Cosmos" here in 2020. I hadn't heard about it, so I didn't know what it was about. And usually I am not one to delve headfirst into anything sci-fi as it is not my favorite genre, but I read the synopsis for writers and directors Elliot Weaver and Zander Weaver movie and found it to sound like it could be interesting enough. So I sat down to watch it.

And I was entertained by what "Cosmos" turned out to be. Sure, there wasn't actually a whole lot of things happening throughout the course of the movie, so "Cosmos" might not just have an overall appeal to everyone in the audience. However, the storyline turned out to be compelling enough and the the casted actors really carried the movie phenomenally.

The storyline in "Cosmos" is straight forward, and some might say it is on the boring side of the axis, but to each their own. Personally, I didn't find the storyline to be dull or boring at anytime throughout the course of the movie, and I will be the first to say that the movie wasn't packed with action or much of anything happening. This was essentially just three guys sitting in a crammed car, scanning the night sky for signs of extraterrestrial life.

But directors Elliot Weaver and Zander Weaver made something grand and enjoyable out of very little. So thumbs up on that achievement.

I can warmly recommend that you sit down and watch "Cosmos", especially if you have just an ounce of interest in the greater galaxy at large beyond our little planet.

My rating of "Cosmos" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

This was a decent film, but could have been much better. I thought the film was a little to long and there were parts that should have been cut out. maybe made the film around 1.40 mins.

I liked how the guys started out a little distant and as the film progressed you really felt their friendship coming out. I loved the music and felt the film heartwarming between the characters.

It sort of made me feel like thinking about lost friendships and memories i cherish.

Their was a little frustration at certain parts which did not really need to be there and seemed to stopped the film from moving forward with petty scenes.

I sort of wanted to fast forward to get over the scene.

The last 30 mins like most films was really good and kept you on your seat towards the ending which pulled on your heartstrings.

Overall the film was nicely done and i enjoyed it. The actors were great and you felt the bond between them. I think the film makers have loads of talent and for the budget the quality was 1st class and with the right budget, these guys could make a really good film.
