great story, destroyed by awful production and directing.
The actors are doing a good job, at least some of them. But the director and producer seem to have been making a stupid and annoying soap opera. What is it with that annoying dramatic music throughout the entire film, it is disturbing the whole story, and it is not dramatic, it feels like I am watching a very very bad episode of a soap.
Misplaced music, bad sounding. Most sounds like phone ringing and stuff is like added after they filmed it, and so bad that you actually can hear it is in a studio. not very good produced I must say.
If this story was made in a Hollywood production it would absolutely have been better, the whole concept is great, but with such crappy filmmakers it must have been doomed from the start. This story need some great sci-fi filmmakers, then it would be a box office most likely.
Sorry guys put this is NOT worth watching at all.
Came across this movie by pure luck, friend of mine came back from Brasil and he brought me a bunch of Brazilian movies with him.
Some of the actors you can tell that it's their first time. Yes there are songs all through the movie but that kept me even more curious about the movie, so unlike the other review i think the music was a nice add.
Story was very awesome. The movie was so good that when i saw there was only 15 minutes i thought to myself that the end was going to be ones that are so bad that ruins the whole movie BUT that did not happen! Very glad i got a chance to see this movie. I WISH they make a sequel to this as it made me very curious to see what happens next. But I know that with all the low rating and stuff they will leave the movie be and let us wonder for the rest of eternity what happens next.
I really enjoyed this film. OK the production was a little low budget and the supporting cast could have been a little more polished, however the main stars more than made up for this with solid performances. When I say this is "A Sci-Fi story, not a Sci-Fi epic", I mean that this movie doesn't have or need a million dollar effects budget as this is a simple story about our planet, hope and better tomorrows. The effects were well done, and did not distract me from the main narrative as badly done effects can do. The movie is for those whom don't mind their Sci-Fi with a little subtle "X-Files" orientation for sure. In the beginning our hero is the non believer digging around in search of his missing child. Then as strange things ensue as he reaches what he sees as the unbelievable, undeniable truth (the truth is out there). The mystery unfolds and this happy tale develops into the ending you hoped for.
This is a Saturday afternoon TV Sci-Fi movie for everyone, whether you be hardened, old skool, Sci-Fi lover or you're just the girlfriend/boyfriend, watching along for the ride as there is nothing else on. I enjoyed the 90 mins and so did my girlfriend.
5.6/10 from me
I completely disagree with the bad reviews!
First of all, the storyline is a GREAT concept.
Secondly, the acting is well done for a low budget film, even though not all the actors are professional, it does add to the film a sort of documentary prospective.
Last but not least, is that the directing and videotography for a single camera low budget film are beyond compare.
This film should be a must see for all who are preparing to make a leap into movie-making on a budget, the video editing is well done as is the sound editing, but nothing beats having a keen eye for filming, reminds me of the work of cinematographer Bert Glennon !
