Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

robertemerald Despite my drab summary line this is not just another apocalypse movie. It's a highly intelligent realization of a possible future alien contact scenario that is credit to all those involved. The characters aren't perfect, and therein lies its beauty. The boy is slightly to very selfish in his practical appraisal of life, which sways from shallow to understandably deep, whilst the girl is caring enough to generally see past this issue toward a more optimistic view, whilst at the same time being sufficiently combative (she doesn't let him get away with it) to keep one interested. The relationship begins well before the "end' and builds in a carefully choreographed mosaic, moving forward and backward in time, to unravel their issues, which are poignant and relevant, as well as the story of their survival after the "end".I was so impressed that my thought half-way through the movie was that I must ring the radio science call-in show here in WA (Doctor Carl) to find out if science has yet to invent or is trying to design, whatever, a huge self-sustaining spaceship, which can harness solar winds and gas particles and mine asteroids, etc, that would help to guarantee mankind's survival.There are many really good apocalypse movies. This is easily one of the most novel and sophisticated so far. CGI? There's very, very little, but be reassured the photography is sufficiently superb, and the acting so first class, that after 20 minutes you'll be glad you chose this delight for sci-fi movie night.Inspiring.

nunyerdamnbiznez While I was initially invested in Cole and Maya's budding relationship, I too quickly became tired and irritated by their constant bickering while waiting for the sci-fi element to kick in to full gear...which it never does. There are a few tense moments where you get a taste for what this movie could have been and then? The most unforgivable, cheap, lame plot device!!! It was all a dream/hallucination! There were NO ALIENS!!!! Absolute waste of two hours of my life if, you, like me were drawn into the film by the the synopsis' promise of a "struggle to survive in a world where the human population has been left decimated after an extra-terrestrial attack".

jhughes1362 *********************SPOILER ALERT!*********************He's like on the floor and bleeding. She calls and says the ship is breaking apart, and she's just had the baby girl. But also, he's looking at the ship from the hillside at shore, holding a picture of the baby and she's missing.The store cashier who got shot and later shoots the lead character has a shirt with silhouettes of the spaceship on it and he recites everything that the lead remembers anyone saying for the past two years. Even the stain on the lead's shirt is a bloody image of the space ship. Two alternate realities offered for his choosing?Thank goodness it is streaming! I need to watch it again to make sure I understand it. That is not a good thing to have to do.It's like EVERY human being had a chance to choose their reality. Apparently, most chose Norway?

imrational I usually have a soft spot for low budget movies. This movie was well photographed, but whoever did the editing did a horrible job. Scratch that, I sincerely doubt that this movie was edited.The movie just drags and drags. At least half the movie should have been cut to make it flow better. Instead, the viewer has to suffer thru countless little melancholy songs while the main character does such interesting things like sitting on a sofa and watching television or standing in the woods and gazing sadly out at the horizon.Whoever was able to watch this movie thru to the end without fast forwarding or picking up the crossword puzzle in the table on front of them... your Ritalin dose is too high.I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 because the camera work is better than most B-Budget films and the acting was fairly decent (even if the script was faulty).The movie description says it is a suspenseful science fiction flick. SPOILERS FOLLOWIt is science fiction in name only. We see a far off spaceship hovering over the horizon in a couple of shots. Nothing more. I honestly hated the main characters. We see them awkwardly flirt at the beginning before driving us nuts with bickering later on. The ending (MAJOR SPOILER): Leaves us hanging without explanation. Yes, some films are better when they make the audience figure out the meaning of the ending for themselves. This isn't one of them.It appears to be a flashback, where the main character is shot trying to find his wife and soon to be born child at the hospital before an asteroid wipes everyone out. We see him die? but then he is in a hospital bed with his wife present. The way it is shot makes us wonder,did he die? Was the future apocalypse just a delusion? Do you even really care? It would have been a better movie if they axed the "science fiction"part, and did a sad little movie about the couple's relationship history.
