Alienated

I'm a sucker for anything having to do with UFO's and romantic comedies so this film is right up my alley. It is charming, heartfelt and has just the right amount of otherworldliness. Speaking of which, Gracie Lacey, the lead female, is a great find. The chemistry between her Michael Carico produces some nice onscreen sparks and Paul Hayes as Ray Watts steals his scenes. I enjoyed the film's high-key aesthetic and even though the spacecraft effects look more on the affordable end, they were well-designed and executed and blended nicely with the movie which is a testament to the filmmakers' skill.

Once in a while, filmmakers conjure up an unique story about aliens that goes about it in a different way.

I didn't know what to expect - because there was little indication that this would be one of stories that grabbed you by a different tangent of your psyche.

This was not a film that was IN YOUR FACE like most sci-fi movies that thrust you into special-effects. On the contrary, you find yourself in what seems like a normal, quirky tale of people and how they meet aliens.

But maybe I am revealing too much already.

Suffice it to say, it was not a masterpiece, nor a bastion of stellar acting or celebrities. It was a small story that should engage those thirsty for a story versus being bombarded by effects and over-the-top scientific terminologies.

And I truly enjoyed the ride and the protagonists.

Recommended only for thoughtful individuals.

This was a well-crafted and well acted sci-fi tale. The script is strong enough that the film doesn't have to rely on special effects and delivers a well acted and produced movie. I recommend it.

I didn't have any idea what to expect from this movie, but I loved it. It's not your typical flashy, frenetic, slam bang science fiction movie. There's not much flash but there's a lot of great story. The actors never seem like they're acting, they feel like real people. If you want loud fast moving commercial sci fi you'll be disappointed, but if you appreciate a good story with a variety of characters check this one out. I'm a sucker for good story telling and this is one great example. I want this in my collection.

A fun rom-com sci-fi with just enough interpersonal and science stuff to make it interesting. Glad they got it to the screen. I thought a 5 rating a bit low, if for no other reason than the delightful and quite alluring performance by Gracie Lacie.
