Featured reviews
The film is certainly slow, but it's hardly a problem when the makers of a movie want to take their time in portraying their vision. I have little affection for those who want a "flash, bang" type of movie, usually indicating that they have little sense of story and instead seek a visual spectacular, all too often mindless. This isn't a film for them, and it clearly isn't intended to be. It is a low budget movie with an actual story, and I see no reason why the makers should be expected to apologise for that.
It's a story of people, and their search for something outside themselves, and to their utter amazement they find it. Simple, clean and well worth watching. If you don't like it then so be it, but don't indulge in cries of "fake reviews" or other similar mindless attention-seeking refrains. It is a film that I watched from start to finish with fascination, and there are precious few films I bother to pay that sort of attention to these days.
If you want a story well told, with people who are real and have their own foibles then I suggest you watch it and make up your own mind, rather than "follow the herd" in decrying what isn't to your taste. You may be pleasantly surprised
Children rating this one are disappointed that there's no lasers or comic book heroes, but adults will get it.
Unfortunately for the audience these days, Hollywood won't make a new movie or television series without a heavy dose of pc, agenda driven, special interest group pandering, or identity politics, anymore.
This movie has none of that, and is quite enjoyable.
Personally, as a sci fi aficionado, I'm very harsh in rating books or vids, and this one is a solid "thumbs up"!

The movie is about friendship , brotherhood, and the things that bind them together.
This movie starts out slow with excellent dialogue, halfway through things get interesting .
This is a geeks movie....
I would recommend to anyone who likes a well written, acted and directed movie. For those who like to stay up and listen to such shows as Coast to Coast AM , and or the old art bell show I bet you would love this movie.
Science seems real, and current and the ending is well worth the excitement
3 astronomers go out to study the stars in the middle of nowhere at night. Suddenly they start picking up a strange signal.
If you were going to make Close Encounters and you had no money, this is how you'd do it. Most of the film is set in the woods at night and in the Volvo where they keep their equipment. Hard to believe how exciting this film becomes and how much tension can be generated through 3 guys tapping away at screens and discussing what might be out there. The film even manages to generate a palm sweaty last 10 minutes and a quite impressive climax given the zero budget. An impressive and intelligent sci-fi adventure.

If you can get through the really slow parts, it is a pleasant surprise.

- TriviaCosmos had no funding or budget - all equipment was either owned prior to filming or borrowed, all locations were lent and all cast and crew worked on the project without a fee.
- GoofsThe satellite they track moves east-to-west. While not impossible, nearly all non-polar, low-earth-orbit satellites are launched west-to-east as that leverages the earth's spin in obtaining the necessary orbital speed.
- Quotes
Roy Kennedy: I figure there's two types of scientist Mike; those that look down at Earth trying to figure out what's going on here, and then there are those who look up to space searching for the answers out there. But they're both really looking for the same thing: Who are we? What are we? What does all this mean?
- Crazy creditsPrior to the end credits: "FOR DAD" appears. This is a tribute to the directors' Dad: "Our Dad was supposed to work alongside us on the camera/lighting but we sadly lost him a month before we started shooting in September 2015" - the official Splice Community page.
