Mr. Earth

A very heart felt and thought provoking movie that i'm sure many can relate to. Really enjoyed this movie, great acting and a beautiful score.

This was recommended as i mostly watch science fiction movies. Strictly speaking it certainly is sci-fi, but not your typical blockbuster special effects movie. This movie concentrates more on the story of a man dealing with loss and heartache. Many men certainly will be able to relate to this story and certainly brought tears to my eyes a number of times.

Dont always trust ratings, despite this having a rather modest score, it is certainly worth a lot more and deserves more recognition that it is getting.

Would recommend.

I thought the story and script was good, but just a little slow moving and brooding. Also, for a Scifi movie, it was skimpy on special effects. I would have liked to see a little more action and more scenes of the alien planet and their civilization. I understand that they were probably on a shoestring budget.

The acting was decent, and actors and actresses did a good job with their parts.

Unless you're expecting a big budget production, I would recommend this movie. It is a believable portrayal of what could happen if an advanced civilization were to interact with members of humanity. By far the best part of the movie was the dialogue.

It is not necessary to have everything spelled out for you with this movie. The ideas are presented in the least definitive way because the point is for the viewer to think about the feelings being examined and not the details of when, where, and what. The dialogue was not important between most of the characters, The viewer was prompted to simply feel the feelings involved with each character's situation in this plot. The passage of time was left very vague on purpose. The feelings were the main consideration here. The real meaning of the movie doesn't get presented until the end, so anyone who doesn't get there, doesn't know what this is about. As more AI becomes present in our future we will be called on to decide how important human feelings really are. Without human feeling what is the meaning of anything? Beautiful scenes, engaging music, and fantasy adventure.....enjoy the feelings.

I'll be honest, this movie exceeded my expectations. I never know what to expect when I watch a movie I've never heard of or know the actors. It's always a complete unknown. But I just got drawn into this whole concept the movie explored. Like, honestly, 10 stars for the idea, and 10 stars for the effort. Digging around online for some backstory on this film this was pretty much made for nothing, and it holds its own against films I've seen Hollywood produce for 100 million dollars.

And the music, my word, just beautiful. Had to look it up afterward and saw it had a soundtrack on all the music platforms. Immediately downloaded it. I've listened to the main theme several times now.

So why am I giving it 7 stars and not 10? Because this is a real review. It's not Interstellar. A film like Interstellar in my mind is a 10/10 movie. But it had the budget to become that. This film was lacking a 100-million-dollar budget to showcase the other worlds. And that's really not a knock on the film, the crew, the actors, they just didn't have it, they didn't have any budget, and yet they still found ways around it to make it a powerful story. They also didn't try to duct tape fake buttons on fake spaceship, etc, they somehow just seamlessly got around it all to where it was believable. And I loved that about this movie. They didn't try to do what they couldn't do. They did what they "could do" and they did a really good job.

At minimum go google the soundtrack. Just beautiful.

I really really wanted to like this film. I managed to stick with it and watch the whole thing but it wasn't half hard work. The story is a nice idea and it's done in a completely different way to any other film I've seen.

But the acting from the main character Ben, good lord it was torturous at times. He should be very likeable but he just doesn't seem to have any authenticity. He wanders round the whole film as if he's in a dream and even in the important moments doesn't seem to convey any great emotion.

I've no idea what the last half an hour is for, it was so unnecessary and could've been dispensed with with a much better explanation at the 90 minute mark.

Got to say I did like Ella though, thought she was portrayed very well.
