The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Not sure why I like this film so much. The comedy was fun and entertaining especially with all the music. I enjoyed the level of sencerity I felt with the film. I really felt like the actors and directors really wanted to make something fun and enjoyable and I believe that they did. It was a lot like watching a long and well thought out skit at a comedy show.

"History of Future Folk" was obviously on a smaller budget it had some very corny parts but I was patient and open-minded enough to stick it out. Boy am I glad I did! There have been very few movies that I've started out this skeptical about and been this excited about by the end. Movies like this make believe there might still be some creative people out there that don't want to sell out and make movies that appeal to the largest audience, and instead they truly care about their story and the message they want to tell and will do bold risky things to preserve their vision for the movie. The movie does an amazing job of portraying the value of art and music in our culture. Its easy (especially in the U.S. I think) to forget the miracle of music. It gave me the feeling that I remembered something really important (maybe how I felt when I learned to play a song on the guitar for the first time, or how it felt to hear the Beatles for the first time). I'd like to personally thank the creators of the film because now instead of trying to explain how I feel about music and how important it is to me personally and humankind I can say, "You just need to watch 'History of Future Folk.'"

This is a charming little indie feature about the two human look like aliens from the planet Hondo. They sent on the mission to find an alternate home to quit from their dying planet. But soon they fall in love with the greatest human invention, music. They forget about what they have come and adopt the Earth's atmosphere and human life style.Definitely a low budget movie and sometime scenes with no logic. A perfect entertainer to someone who familiar with a B movie. They used a minimal quantity of tools like cast, graphics and the locations including simple costumes but there were no limitation of the imagination. It is not suitable for who always look for a perfect sense, other than that it is very enjoyable.The movie was short and sweet . No surprise twists, the end was very plain but somehow it satisfies. As I said 'The History of Future Folk' is not a crowd puller, there are few people who know well second stream movies will enjoy it.7/10

This was one of those "Never heard of it" gambles that paid off. The musical bits were light-hearted and whimsical. The story was very unique, especially the part about the aliens' reaction to earth music. There was also some subtle social commentary about us earthlings. I especially liked the intermixed fight/dance scene. The second alien stole every one of his scenes. His mannerisms and body language always brought a chuckle.Although this was a low-budget movie, the overall effect was very professional. I'm going to have to get me a red jumpsuit and bucket helmet. I hope you enjoy this fun little movie as much as my wife and I did.
