Mmmm... Delicious cheese... I don''t think I''ve ever been so excited about nothing happening! lol
A really nice movie. It is drawn out in parts though but personally I didn''t mind. It''s a very character driven movie and the characters work well I feel. I like where the sci-fi aspect went and that it wasn''t the focus of the movie. As in, it didn''t overshadow the characters. I enjoyed it a lot
It was ok. Really bugged me that the super specific frequency was 1420.163 and half way through the movie every time they show the receiver it’s on 1420.160. Also weird that it went from nerdy sci-fi to a racing against time movie.
If this movie was an hour long, it would be good, it's too slow and long.
WOW! This was easiest one of the best movies I''ve seen so far this year. Granted, it is very (VERY!) slow in parts, but stick with it. It is a really good and well-written story. It''s a hopeful story. This is a very easy recommendation to watch. How I rate: 1-3 :heart: = seriously! don''t waste your time 4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too 9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Good acting, fun topic, but some poor pacing and just screwed up logic. Almost nothing happens through 2/3 of the movie and most of the action is just getting more batteries, when they have a running vehicle that could easily charge their system.
I don''t think I can really rate this properly. On one hand, it''s a love story for astronomy geeks and you can absolutely tell they loved making this the whole way through. On the other hand, this movie could have been at least close to an hour shorter. Small space, focus on characters and knobs and dials... but so much of nothing goes on! I just can''t give this more than a 5. The lighting effects were cool, and umm... yeah. I guess it was interesting? I did learn a lot of astronomy lingo! Yeah. That''s it. I honestly can''t believe I sat through the whole thing, but believe me I wanted to fast forward through so much of this.
A simple movie, with a lot of filler in-between.
