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
With a crew of about a dozen people, these guys put together a good film. Acting was great all around, cinematography in cramped spaces worked, writing and reveals were well done. My only complaint is that the editing could have been tighter and would have helped the first half of the film. Kudos to the filmmakers and well worth a watch!
If you can get through the really slow parts, it is a pleasant surprise.
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
I stumbled upon this 2019 movie titled "Cosmos" here in 2020. I hadn't heard about it, so I didn't know what it was about. And usually I am not one to delve headfirst into anything sci-fi as it is not my favorite genre, but I read the synopsis for writers and directors Elliot Weaver and Zander Weaver movie and found it to sound like it could be interesting enough. So I sat down to watch it.
And I was entertained by what "Cosmos" turned out to be. Sure, there wasn't actually a whole lot of things happening throughout the course of the movie, so "Cosmos" might not just have an overall appeal to everyone in the audience. However, the storyline turned out to be compelling enough and the the casted actors really carried the movie phenomenally.
The storyline in "Cosmos" is straight forward, and some might say it is on the boring side of the axis, but to each their own. Personally, I didn't find the storyline to be dull or boring at anytime throughout the course of the movie, and I will be the first to say that the movie wasn't packed with action or much of anything happening. This was essentially just three guys sitting in a crammed car, scanning the night sky for signs of extraterrestrial life.
But directors Elliot Weaver and Zander Weaver made something grand and enjoyable out of very little. So thumbs up on that achievement.
I can warmly recommend that you sit down and watch "Cosmos", especially if you have just an ounce of interest in the greater galaxy at large beyond our little planet.
My rating of "Cosmos" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

- 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.
