This film is a colossal disappointment, and the glowing reviews-anything above a 5-feel like pure fiction. The script is an absolute disaster: predictable, drowning in clichés, and devoid of a single original spark. The action? Bland, lifeless, and so uninspired it barely keeps you awake. As for the performances, they're wooden, unconvincing, and downright painful to endure.

The suspiciously high ratings here are impossible to ignore. It's hard not to wonder if they've been inflated-perhaps by overzealous producers-because this movie doesn't deserve the hype. Do yourself a favor: skip this dumpster fire and save your time and money.

... if you are interested in UFOs and if you like Hartley and DeLonge's Sekret Machines books! Because if you do, you will experience an ontological shock of a lifetime!

I could not believe how dilettante this movie was in so many respects. The story is inconsistent, implausible, self-contradictory, and lacks any subtlety. It's as if a ten-year-old tried to deliver a message.

Indeed, after about thirty minutes, I started to seriously ask myself whether this is a parody of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Independence Day, or something similar.

I have listened to many of DeLonge's interviews (e.g., by Knapp on Coast-to-Coast), and the "message" DeLonge delivered there is in stark contrast to what happens in this movie. For your own sake, I suggest you reread Hartley and DeLonge's Sekret Machines one more time insted.

I was initially drawn to this movie due to the captivating presence of its lead actress, Hannah Hoekstra. I was eager to witness her expressions, gestures, and overall beauty. I must confess that my initial impression only grew stronger as the movie unfolded. Hoekstra's appearance in the later segments of the film exuded a subtle yet profoundly captivating allure. Her portrayal was more sophisticated and impressive than any computer-generated or artificial intelligence-based character I've encountered before. Could the secret to this appeal be in her nuanced lip movements? It's akin to Hitchcock's observation that even the tiniest rearrangements of reality can evoke profound horror.

Admittedly, a few minutes into the movie, I found myself somewhat put off by the gratuitous nudity on display. However, this initial discomfort gradually transformed into a sense of fulfillment as the acting unfolded. The movie grapples with a challenging subject matter, so viewers should persevere through these scenes to grasp the narrative's essence.

As I delved deeper, I discovered that the director is Sacha Polak, a woman. This aspect is noteworthy as it's crucial that these delicate themes receive representation from women "behind the scenes," countering the multitude of male-driven fantasies prevalent in cinema. I can't help but wonder how much of the director's own experiences are interwoven into this film.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this movie to a mature audience.
