First Signal

The story itself is quite good, and this story concept could be picked up by more aptly funded team to make a great movie out of. It could be morphed into a pretty slick sci-fi action feature. This film, however, has a clunky script. It feels like UFO tropes have been cobbled together into a public lecture designed to 'educate' the audience. The acting, direction, lighting, production design, dialogue, colour grade, editing, makeup, sound design, sound recording, sound mixing are all terrible. The acting from a few characters is good, but that's it.

I only watched it because of the high rating on here.

I give most movies a chance, and have liked what others found really bad, but this one was truly terrible. Only made it part way into it and had to shut it off. You know those boring training classes you have to endure at work, where you have to perform stupid skits with wooden dialog and acting read off a card? Yeah, that's oscar worthy compared to this. Really, the president travels without security, and gets briefings in a third rate conference room with plastic tables? And along those lines, we're suppose to believe this inarticulate woman, who can't even speak convincingly, and wears no identifiable US pin or badge, is supposed to have earned the highest office on the planet. I'm sorry, but it's even too much of a stretch for me. Truly god-awful!

The worst film I've watched in my entire lifetime.

Very poor casting, the NSA head or whatever she is gives the appearance of a nervous woman unfitting for her profession and so on..... Dialogues looks entirely artificial, like in old school dramas. And the CGI..... RIDICULOUS!

Don't bother. "Written, produced, directed by" same person.

Amateurish production, mostly shot in a hotel conference room posing as a 'bunker'. Premise (title) was intriguing, but ended there. Just a wannabe knockoff of "Contact", sort of. But it nicely gives a nod to Carl Sagan. Actors' dialogue was so wooden and unnatural - there was absolutely no overlapping dialogue... Kind of like Lego people that just sit in their place for over an hour and speak on cue when the director points a finger at them.

I hope this is revisited and redone.

Great concept.

Upgrades needed in budget,lighting,audio and script, and the Presidents hair do .. those dam birds are heard everywhere and became distracting for me.

Would watch a remake of this in a heartbeat.
