Not a movie for everyone.

If you want lasers, explosions and monsters in your sci-fi this is not for you.

If you want creepy atmosphere, dialogs and good acting it's a perfect fit.

The movie is not perfect still.

[spoiler]
The premise of a local radio getting strange reports from callers around the town is reduced very quickly to only two main calls.
I would have preferred to listen to more callers and have the tension and realization of what was happening building up a little slower than it was.
Also the black and white TV show thing didn't resonate well with me. If they limited that to the introduction it would have been better.
Still a solid 7 for me.

@canardu I had the same feelings about the TV visuals. And I did not really understand the point of it either, which made it kind of a questionable decision to me.

Almost a podcast on film, The Vast of Night is a gripping thriller with some of the most captivating scenes and style this year. Absolutely stellar work from Patterson, along with some awe inspiring long takes from both Sierra McCormick and Jake Horowitz (the switchboard scene and Mabels interview are some phenomenal cinema). Great work.

@xiofire Thats a great point. I think would have enjoyed this movie more as an audio drama.

There are shades of Close Encounters here, albeit on a microbudget. Its quite stylish in parts, evoking the Twilight Zone with its setup, although the talky nature of the film might be offputting to some.

Absolutely terrible. I get so annoyed when a film is rated highly (in this case 66%) and you figure out later it's just boring or artsy fartsy people rating it because they THINK they saw something artistic. It's not artsy just because someone slapped a retro color filter over it, it's bad. Had the movie actually lead to something I'd of thought it was better, but as it was it was just EXTREMELY long scenes of blah blah blah scenes that rise tension that the film never delivers on. I swear the same people who like this trash are the ones you can throw paint buckets at a canvas and they say "Oh wow you can feel the artist's anger in this piece." Absolute garbage.

@paulvincent83 you're just a square. And it's showing. Save your anger for Hollywood studios financing the same old crap you love.

Artsy? Maybe. Boring? Most definitely.

It's like a radio drama... but you watch it. Let's call it -- _cinema_!

The film plays out over four key acts and they feature some wonderful one-shots, period piece settings and dialogue. Jake Horowitz and Sierra McCormick are a wonderful pair. This is sci-fi without the pew-pew, but it made the ending all the more delightful when it came.

@vivaladil perfectly said, the sound is so important in this little gem. Already a cult movie.

Cinematography is on par. Quite good and refreshing. But it ends there. This movie should be called: The Vast WASTE of a night.

To better describe this: Its a poor try to copy Orson Welles radio transmission vibe.

I hope some alien race can get me those 91 minutes back at some point.

Really enjoyed this film. Its certainly different from most films, loved the long dialogue heavy scenes and the slow growing atmosphere.

I couldn't understand a word spoken for the first 20 minutes the accents were so strong they might have been speaking Russian. This is one dreary,slow placed movie filmed mostly in the dark with only a few actors.
Special effects are negligible as is the thin story line and the ending a complete letdown ,not sure why it gets good ratings. Really a waste of 90 minutes.

It's always refreshing to see a sci-fi movie that isn't afraid to take its time to properly establish characters and the world in which they inhabit. The Vast of Space is an intriguing look at the human side of an alien contact movie.
