Area Q.

I really enjoyed this film. It was an unexpected delight. My main issue was the background music! It made it feel very dated and was overly dramatic and almost turned it into a comedy. But I loved the story, which saved it! The setting was perfect. Beautiful location. Sensitive to the subject and the special effects were pretty good! Isaiah Washington was well cast..Good job, well done!

It's hard to say why I liked this story so much. The Isaiah Washington's understated but natural performance really stood out for me. Perhaps some elements in editing this story fall short of the Hollywood quick-fix treatment, but they made this the kind of movie that draws you in without throwing everything at you point-blank so you won't miss it.

I am very gratified that the ending was not slick, however, the music cues, I think, were a little cheesy and rather made this too sensational for such a poignant ending. I know the music tried to make the point of that being a climactic ending, somehow, it is probably the only thing that missed the mark for me in this beautiful effort.

I congratulate everyone involved in putting this story out, especially with so much crap being spewed out by filmmakers these days.

I recommend this to any fan of science fiction who appreciates the out of the ordinary development of a story, and an abduction story that might have been produced by Hollywood types that like to give us slick and vapid movies in the guise of entertainment-in-a-bottle.

Standard alian abduction. Saw it on Tubi which gave me the option to turn on captions, But then the captions only said "(speaking in Portuguese)". The english was captioned in english.

Well, thanks for nothing.

For the first 2/3 of the movie Mr. Mathews was traveling with a translator, so that sufficed. But at 1 hr, 11 minutes, Mathews had a one on one conversation with Joao Batista.

Batista speaking Portuguese, Mathews seems to understand him. But we English speakers only get one side of the conversation, and none of the answers.

Showed parts of Brazil I've not seen before, not the typical Amazon or Rio. Reminded me of 'Monument Vally'.

The hotel on the rock was interesting.

I would give it a 5. I've seen worse. But I don't feel that I even saw this. So just 1.

I could not thoroughly enjoy this movie because of the Portuguese dialog - And No Subtitles! Toward the end of the movie - where the dialog was very important - It was entirely One-Sided. If you are someone that is fluent in Portuguese, well Good For You!

I'm not and I missed out on the ending of the movie. It wasted my time.

This would have been a good movie otherwise.

Not a bad movie, but not providing captions for Portuguese language was really stupid!
