Beyond

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.

I was expecting yet another bad disaster movie. This is not what I got. This film wasn't so bad it was good. It was merely bad.

That's not to say it wasn't quality work. I'm sure it was. It just didn't entertain me all that much. Paul Brannigan as the store clerk may have given the standout performance, in his later scenes. I didn't remember who he was until the comment was made by Cole about the incident in the store.

At least I got to laugh when people were dressed in costumes.

Maybe you'll like it. But it's not one of these bad disaster movies.

This film starts off well but rapidly descends into dullness and then into being cryptic and intimately finishes in oblivion. I thought this was going to be a good film. The blurb promised a Romance/SF-but the elements of both were surprisingly weak. The romance consisted of a virtually endless series of arguments and the SF aspect consisted of a series of shots of looking at what was apparently a space ship as seen from a distance. The aliens are never seen and there is no communication with the alien vessel. Which is also never seen from up close either. A comet is discovered only to be later revealed to be a space ship. A bond forms between a man and a woman only to be later revealed to be a mistake. And so it goes. The film ends in a series of disconnected images that actually makes little to no sense whatsoever leaving the films audience wondering what just happened here. I would not recommend this movie to fans of Romance or to fans of SF as it doesn't have enough components of either genres to be effective in either genre never mind being an effective hybrid project. I have actually seen this type of thing done better by other actors who were also from the UK and not so long ago either. It is therefor also derivative of another UK project which was better executed than this one. All in all I think this was an inferior film.

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.

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.
