Lost Time

I am an avid alien abduction enthusiast. Movies that would be given really bad reviews I would enjoy merely for the sake of the alien abduction theme.

It's a rare theme, a genre I desperately seek movies on. A well done alien abduction movie will scare the pants of me and leave me awake night after night watching the open door.

This was not one of them. If I was even slightly entertained by this movie I would have lovingly given this a 5 or 6 star rating. But No.

The film had potential as well, the script started off okay but was executed in such a way that the only thing stopping me from turning it off was my desperate need to see another alien abduction movie. Then the script went bad, really bad.

This movie hurt me.

Can someone please make a descent alien abduction film?

This was one of the worst 2-3 movies I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot. And sadly, this is no overstatement.

Short version: It REALLY looks like they took a bad 10-15 minute short, and blew it up to the length it has now. And this is not a cute way to describe the quality, but probably what *really* happened here.

Long version: After seeing it, I was asking myself two questions: What were they even going for, what was this supposed to be? And why did nobody stop them and why didn't they at least try to improve it?

And to me, it seems obvious, that at some point they did become aware of the fact, that they can't rescue it, and went into "lets get it over with" mode, and they did the worst thing possible: They made countless "playing for time" shots to get the length: Without plot, dialog, action, effects or *anything* happening.

Additionally they tried to take the mystery ("what did really happen?") route, but at the same time, everybody - the audience and all characters - know what happened from the beginning. While the characters try to find out "what happened", they literally say what happened.

Lost Time could have been a more or less good 10 minute short. What were they thinking? There were established actors and crew involved, why didn't they stop this madness? I can't stress this enough: Most parts really look like they were made on one weekend literally without any screenplay with the objective "we need another 45 mins, and we need it as cheap and fast as possible".

This movie did not deserve the bad reviews. Its problem is that it goes for extreme dramatic intensity too much via the actors and script, rather than in other ways. From a science fiction point of view, however, it is still a decent movie. The idea is solid and the supporting CGI is good as well. From a horror pony of view the problem is that rather than have the horror/drama creep up you it's already there from the beginning with no time to sympathize.

This movie needed more time in pre-production and a more thought to the vision. My bet is that in a few years time this is one they will remake, and it will be a blockbuster.

I have to agree with the people who reviewed this title when they said that they do not understand what was this film about.

Was it about alien abduction or was it about MILF trying to find herself in this huge world of ours? I really did not get it.

If you are looking for a good film about alien abductions, well this is not a film about it. I think it is more about MILF trying to find what is beyond.

Please do not watch this film. Waste of time.

I want to take this opportunity to ask US government and especially President Obama to use his last two years in office to disclose everything about aliens and what is the truth and what is not. Since he will have nothing better to do in his lame duck period, I think it will be a perfect opportunity to make himself even more famous if he disclose EVERYTHING known to the public. Public can take it.

id like to take this opportunity to tell the script writer that this was not your thoughts coming up with this story line i think something used your consciousness to pass a message down through time. To people like me that are tackling mans predicament life after life this conundrum we find ourselves in i have found the way out of this hologram induced life.if any NSA cosmic clearance types need info or help i left my real name come and find me i am 2 hrs south of Sydney Australia. make it quick as of this writing i think i have under 8 years of physical life left before i confront the makers where i will unleash us from this prison planet locked in time
