A Heartfelt Little Movie

I came across this movie on Fire TV. It's not Sci-Fi in the "Aliens are attacking earth." kind of way. It's more of a family drama. However, I really enjoyed it. The acting is really good for an indie, and the cinematography is top-notch.

The main character, Richard loses his wife in a car accident caused by aliens and falls off the deep-end. Everyone thinks he's crazy, including his daughter.

It's really sort of an every-man journey to find his lost wife. I wasn't expecting it, but I'm glad I watched it. It's the kind of movie you don't see these days. It has a lot of heart, humor and doesn't take its self too seriously or try to be "edgy".

SO BAD

I sat through 20 minutes of this thing. The writing was so basic that it seems like a middle school kid wrote this in A/V club. Most of what I saw was the lead "actor" whining to his dog or his podcast. He's so incredibly bad at acting that I can't even explain. The same goes for everyone else, down to the extras. Even Taryn Manning was horrible for the 5 minutes I saw her. Maybe it was because of the atrocious script. The music sounded like it was from 80's adult films. All the 9 and 10 star reviews are obviously thanks to the crew, friends, and family of the cast. I can't even give this 2 stars. Do not waste your time.

Not even in the ball park

Confused about my rating? Take a quick look at all the high rating reviews. Those reviewers only rated 1 movie, this one. Smells like family/friends artificially jacking up IMDB.

If you are looking for something that has ANYTHING to do with SciFi keep moving as this one barely has one early 'alien' scene and from then on its just the ravings of the lead character.

So let's get to a real review. If you are looking for an essentially one-man drama you might like this. Being fair, the acting and camera work are slightly better than average than most low budget films I have seen, although that is not saying much as more scenes than not are only in the leads house.

In reality I am having issues giving this a good review. The dialogue is shoddy with a very basic script and the scripting/directing is pedestrian at best. Of course this doesn't fit with the movie's focus, which is essentially a ONE-MAN drama. If you want something like that to be ANY good it has to be rock solid, which this isn't.
