UFO Sweden

This is a B-movie with a high budget. The characters are under-developed and not believable. All technically related stuff in the movie is painfully unrealistic. There is a lot of mindless action that always ends in the way you thought it would.

I think the worst part is actually the characters and the writing. The actors themselfs are mostly fine and deliver (including the two main characters).

But the personalities are one-dimensional and narrow. They never say or do anything unexpected and it mostly feels they are just created to make the story fit together.

I will mention a few plus sides though: The cinematography and special effects are good. The choice of music is mostly good too. The setting in the 90s feels beliavable. It has a bit of funny moments as well.

At best, the movie has some "Stranger things" vibe to it. At worst, it makes you cringe and wanting to fast forward a segment or two.

The movie Interstellar comes to mind even if the quality and professionalism is far from it, but then again of course most movies are. They must have been inspired by it. It is a nice and even sweet and fascinating story of a young girl/woman trying to find out what happened to her father. It is a nice sci fi movie from our neighbor Sweden. The story and acting is adequate except from the scenes with the police. Then it becomes very implausible and amateurish. I still give the movie a 7/10 because for me a 6 is "No, this is not worth watching". The sound is good in 5.1 without the music being dominant.

My girlfriend loves anything to do with UFOs or Aliens so we like to watch a good sci-fi film every now and again. 'UFO Sweden' is a very good addition to this genre and is very well-made.

This was a sterling effort from the production team and from the actors and actresses. Make no mistake about it, 'UFO Sweden' is a great contribution to the relevancy of European cinema which often struggles with more limited budgets than our American counterparts in the film industry.

Undoubtedly one of the best Swedish and European sci-fi films ever released, do not miss out on 'UFO Sweden' if you love sci-fi.

Invokes a feeling of Wargames and Close encounters of the third kind. A throwback to 90's action adventure sci-fi movies, but in Sweden! A very charming film with a lot of heart and humour.

Plot revolves around a teenage girl looking for her father who might have dissapeared in an alien abduction in the 80's. She turns to her fathers old UFO Assosciation for help.

It is all done a bit tounge in cheek, for example the hacking is what you would expect from a movie made in the nineties and maybe not form a movie made in 2022. But it is in line with the charm and tone of the film.

Well acted, great soundtrack, and excellent cinematography and effects.

I higly recommend it!

I stumbled upon the 2022 Swedish sci-fi adventure movie "UFO Sweden" by random luck here in 2023. I hadn't heard about the movie, so I didn't know what I was getting myself into as I opted to sit down and watch it.

Writers Victor Danell and Jimmy Nivrén Olsson put together a fairly interesting script and storyline for the movie. It is a story where the audience are kept pretty much in the dark throughout the majority of the movie. And on that account, I guess it is either a love it or hate it situation for the audience, as I suppose some viewers would like to be filled in on what is actually going on. Personally, then I enjoyed the secrecy and being kept in the dark.

Given my limited exposure to Swedish cinema, then I was unfamiliar with all performers on the cast list. However, I will say that they had a good collection of talents to perform in the movie, bringing the quirky characters to life in good ways on the screen.

While "UFO Sweden" is a rather ambitious undertaking from director Victor Danell, the movie did fare rather well.

Visually then "UFO Sweden" was okay. It is not a movie that made excessive use of CGI and special effects. But whatever effects were in the movie were actually looking quite nice, and helped further the movie in a rewarding manner.

If you enjoy sci-fi movies then you should definitely give "UFO Sweden" a chance. I am not a major sci-fi buff myself, but I did find this movie to be entertaining enough.

My rating of "UFO Sweden" lands on a six out of ten stars.
