Mission from Outer Space 2037

Having seen the trailer, I was really looking forward to this movie. And now that I have seen it, I can honestly say that I wasn't disappointed.

However, the concept of the old west and aliens thrown together into one spot is not new like this film's poster may suggest, you are in for something completely different.

This is a dystopia future trapped in dysfunctional dark 80's world which while visually very appealing still does seem a bit odd to me, and takes some getting used to.

The story in "Mission from Outer Space 2037" is pretty easy to follow; two sisters find themselves without parents after a pretty realistic car wreck.

Thrown into a desperate fight against a far superior species of aliens is the sub plot to Russian cyborgs and the struggle against one's faith in God.

Absolution in the end of the protagonist Russian debacle in a showdown for supremacy, is a wonderful sub plot to the return to faith in the film's closure.

I am just going to add my voice to the chorus of praise for this indie jewel of a movie. It is as near to being perfect as any I have ever seen. I will say that it is much better than other smaller budget alien films. This looks very big budget. The aliens were clean and thankfully not CGI, or at least did not look like they were. But I do love all the characters in this movie. I have rarely seen a movie where all the characters were so well developed. Even most serious dramas seldom develop each character so completely. None of these characters are stereotypes once you got into their story. A very special film and very refreshing.

It's been a long while since I've watched an original movie. My experience tells me that the creators of this film did a pretty decent job of telling a wacky, unique story for a modern audience, while at the same time keeping the essential elements of old school action in tact. This movie features reports of strange, electromagnetic disturbances in a traditional futuristic dystopia world. In another bow to the modern context, we are placed in the future, but not to far removed from the beloved dial up phone set.

If you get a little confused trying to follow the plot, don't feel stupid. This isn't an easy story to follow but it gets high marks for keeping it interesting despite that problem.

The interesting characters, good cinematography, fun James Bond-like moments, just the right amount of action scenes keeps you interested. And one very memorable scene with Tom Sizemore is a tear jerker for sure. That scene with Sizemore will fill any Sizemore fan's heart with happiness.

Get this film a look see and you won't be let down.

It stars a multi-generational cast that works well and frankly I have not seen anything like this.

Sure we have children in cinema, but this one hits a mark watching children completely talk and act like adults and pull it off to be believable.

Warning this film is not for children. There is plenty of blood and guts to make the young viewer run for cover. However, Mission From Outer Space 2037 is a grower, a film that pays better dividends on the opening and closing of the film but makes up for the rather slow center with lots of strong, well thought out comedy.

Viewers once armed with the knowledge of what sort of theme drives it on will find themselves rooting for both the bad guy and the good guy. Yet it still frustrates greatly and you can see why it proved so divisive, It has a strong Judeo-Christian message. The message is fantastic but for the anti religious zealots it may be a turn off. Respectfully for the faith based crowd this is a winner.

Everybody seemed to love it. I think everyone could reference it with an action adventure story they may have grown up with. The film was slightly longer than expected, but it payed off in the end.

Well, I needn't have worried, because Mission From Outer Space 2037 still hits the mark. Yes, it's homegrown and rather odd, but I think that's all part of the fun. This is a classic feeling film out of the 1980s but in the future. It's the young kids who have to band together to save the world, and a story that works very well here.

Every aspect of this movie is spot on, which I can only put down to actors and directors obsessive attention to detail. The characters are distinct, memorable and believable. The plot builds slowly into the most tense, suspenseful roller-coaster ride we are hopeful to experience in the cinema world.
