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!

The actors are terrible, some of the dialogue is awful
It's a film that had promise from the point if the story, but the execution completely ruins the film.
Could not finish it, it was that bad.

The only impressive thing about this "film" was how they managed to get so many obviously fake positive reviews. To even give this one star was generous. I was once again duped into watching this as the result of the supposedly high scores this steaming log of dung obtained.
All this film consisted of was a bunch of wooden inept "actors" talking to each other. That wouldn't have been THAT unforgiveable if it wasn't for the fact that the dialogue was so unengaging and devoid of thought-provoking ideas.
Now I'm not one to slam a heavily dialogue-based movie, but in order for it to pass, it would HAVE to be interesting and/or original enough to keep its audience's attention. 'First Signal' does NOTHING of the sort.
A dialogue-heavy film that does it right is Pontypool. Similar to 'First Signal', Pontypool was mostly dialogue sci-fi/horror flick that was set in one location, but it was so damned interesting and original, it kept me glued to my seat throughout. To those who read this: watch this film only if you find amusement by watching paint dry. Don't listen to the false high reviews. You have been warned!

Felt I was watching a pirate copy of a film. Obviously low budget. Felt it could have been an amazing film if more money was pumped into it, and better actors. Sound needs massive improvement.
Yaaaaaaawn. There's no original idea here. The writer seems to have no idea what's interesting about science fiction. About 90 percent of the movie is people talking in a cheap, undecorated, serviceless hotel conference room without security. The first 3/4 of the movie is simply unnecessary explanations by amateur actors. I liked some of the graphics and the costumes were good, a waste on such an unexciting story full of cliches that don't even fit the situation.

- TriviaAlthough First Signal takes place in 2014, at the 1:09:55 mark President Colton predicts the future when she states to President Tupolov, "You should continue pushing into Donbas." Which is followed by a conversation about NATO and sanctions, thus predicting the future of actual events when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

General John Reager: I live in the here and now. Not last week or seven centuries ago. And while history may have lessons to learn from, I have no interest in writing its last chapter. But I'll be goddamned if something else is going to write it for us!
