Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

silverkreahe What a cool premise. This movie should have made my favorites list. Extraterrestrials, robots, space, wormholes, examinations of what makes us human... But instead I have so many complaints.As the other reviewers have noted, the visuals are excellent. Special effects were, for the most part, excellently done that added to the story. Unfortunately, while the special effects were clear, they were over explained. So much of the story is just exposition, leaving viewers with feelings of "Yes yes I saw that but WHY." And if the director's intention was to get the viewers to ask why, he could have done so without the exposition. In fact, the only special effect that I wanted answered was the destruction of the outer planets. Was that the aliens? Was it malicious and then they changed their minds? Was it to give them the raw elements to create Earth 2 and the other planets and if so why was such destruction necessary if they can create wormholes? There were, like, 3 or 4 good movies floundering inside this film. A story about the global social impact of the Void and the subsequent dark spheres- you didn't really expect your audience to believe that one private company successfully convinced every single nation on the planet to not attempt to interact or otherwise engage with the Void and the spheres, do you? And if you're going to say they did, you've gotta come up with a convincing reason. Or a story about what happened on the other side. We're told years go by and yet all we see are a couple landscape shots and a fever dream? No, you sent a person over there in a robot suit- how did she pass the time? What did she encounter? What did she think? And there's a story to be told about Earth 2 obviously and it's effects on Earth, socially, economically, environmentally. That's a whole new planet in the sky, way too close to not impact the oceans, the orbit, the satellites, etc. You could even tell a story about the subsequent people who became Human 2.0s, as a sequel I guess. And then there are the errors. There were little ones like Jessica 2.0's hands are robotic except for when we're looking at the footage of the planet on the other side of the wormhole - then they're just people hands inside white cloth gloves? Or how we talk about there being an extensive vetting process to become a Human 2.0, we lose the first one, Jessica's the second and we go through the process with her... and then she's aboard the shuttle with another person who wasn't vetted? Just a soldier? But we immediately discard him in the wormhole so I guess he didn't need any story time. Except that he reappears at the very end and it's still fully human - despite that we were very clear that you had to be Human 2.0 to go through the wormhole and that there was no coming back to human after becoming Human 2.0. And I've already touched on my issues with the distance between Earth and Earth 2. This movie needed AT LEAST an story editor, but really needed a different writer. And someone on hand to clear up some science. I don't need action, I need coherent story.

luvan_90 I actually enjoyed this movie a lot more than I initially thought I would. I hadn't heard of it when I stumbled upon it and the reviews are, to say the least, mixed, so I was pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for fast-paced action and an unprobable, supernatural-esque plot this is NOT for you.However, if you, like me, like tech-y sci-fi movies with focus being on the science part, this IS for you. I mean, some of the science is... pretty out there, but it's still beliavable. Definitely watching again.

johnaskew A bit documentary styled but non the less it was a good and original concept. Am glad the aliens were not perceived as the usual ugly beasts we tend to see or humanoid stiff versions of ourselves, in fact I still don't know what they looked like unless they themselves were the gaseous spherical clouds that were appearing above the earth. Overall I think it was a decent film and would recommend it.

sarahstranger-39435 This movie really gave me the chance to experience a potential real ET phenomena. Not improbable aliens with eyes, legs and humanoid body( what we use see all the time), but entities BEYOND our small narrow mindset capacity to describe or understand. For the first time i felt like real, how could be totally vertiginous being in contact with someone you cannot define, overcame, control, just too different and extremely much more extended of what we are, this movie so far is the only one could give me this feeling. Great job!
