Cosmic Contact

7 August 2016. Shadows on the Wall is a difficult ratings choice because its low budget appearance and some of the slow pacing make this movie rather hard to continue watching especially at the beginning. The climax of the movie isn't anything spectacular in its originality and yet the building up, the mystery, the eventual tension, and the relative consistency of tone and performances somehow keep this movie from being just average or ordinary. In short, this low budget sci fi movie isn't really bad, isn't really just average and except for perhaps the man in a black suit who seems pretty one dimensional, overall becomes a decent and credible sci fi motion picture. Its attempt to capture the sci fi tone and exhilaration of the genre actually succeeds, even if isn't completely grand in its depiction like Interstellar (2014) or Inception (2010).

An unconfident college dweeb creates a computer device with the aid of his cousins help and a mathamatition girl that sends images back to them using the universes radiation. At first, they reach the moon, then Mars. They then want to see just how far the machine can reach and end up receiving a signal from the other side of the known universe, which they get a lot more than they bargained for.

This movie has a strong start, a decent middle, but a bad ending. I guess it came down to budget restraints, but this film could have been so much better than it was, had the ending not ruined the ride.

Even as a pilot concept to branch into a TV series would've been a great premise, but what happens in this movies anticlimactic finale seems like a low-budget rush job just to get the movie finished on time.

It's a shame it had to end the way it does. It had a lot of potential and could have set up some very interesting ideas for a sequel or TV show, but instead it just plummets off a cliff with bad acting, low budget dialogue instead of visual representations, and a feel of "just get it over and done with"

No special effects needed to give the viewer some decent sci fi entertainment.

A little hammy on the two male actors parts, but not unwatchable. I am so disappointed in Hollywood fare that cannot release any movie or series these days that isn't focused on agenda and identity politics. This indie has none of that nonsense, just entertainment

I really enjoyed this movie. It was well worth the watch. I gave it a 10 Star rating. I usually don't like this type of Science Fiction movie, but this was truly an exception to my rule. The actors were superb. I give it two thumbs up....

I just watched this movie, Despite what I would say was a low budget and largely unknown actors in this film, words and phrases that come to mind to describe this story are as follows; interesting, compelling, captivating, absorbing et al.

I find this to be an excellent piece of work. A movie that relies on the script to keep us interested. Not on effects. Not on celebrity actors.

Like all "sci-fi" movies you do have to allow yourself to believe that the story is possible but I don't think lovers of sci-fi and fantasy will have a problem with that.

I hope the people involved with this movie are able to make a bit of money off of it. They deserve it.
