Very best movie i ever watch

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This film does have a message: the message being ...... AVOIDI'd seen the reviews on here but was prepared to give it a go and LoveFilm had no problem with that. Whilst its only 80 minutes long - I lasted 15 and boy, they were the longest 15 minutes of my life and I hope they're not THE 15 minutes the famous wig on a stick spoke about. I'm all for ambiguity, jump cuts, static, vertical hold shift, non- narrative, but if it hadn't been for the sticker on the Lovefim DVD case I would have been none the wiser for being none the wiser. I'm sure this wowed the lecturers at film school, and whilst I'm not asking for a car chase or even Danny 'Gor Bless Him' Dyer, I wanted, nay, needed some raft of hope to cling to. But, rather like the bloke in Titanic,I was still clinging, but the cause and all hope had been lost .........

This is not a like in any way shape of form, except, and this is a small conceit to give a nod to the quality of the actual film work. That said this is not something that you can watch with even the slightest distractions, or you will be so lost. The acting is silly, the story is inexplicable, and if you thought that The Tree of Life was a boring movie, then good luck getting through the first 5 minutes of this. The camera distortions, and the vertical hold "glitches" are so 1962. There is not one shining star in this film as far as the actors go either sadly. I did watch the whole thing, and I paid close attention, I get what happened, and it seemed to be for the best for them, I get that. I just don't think this was a very good movie to watch. My eyes were attacked with bad cutaways, and strange little still lives that made no sense since these folks have only been on earth around 60 years, then how were those times before them significant? Well suffice it to say I did not Enjoy this film, and do not recommend it to anyone. Well if you know one of those flakes that will believe what ever they are told, then they may just be enthralled by the pretty Brightness.

There is absolutely no plot in this godforsaken trash. None whatsoever. Nor is there any meaningful dialog. However the wardrobe is just out of this world for sheer creativity; especially the woman with Cheerios and Froot-Loops glued to the side of her face.The ending is just as senseless as the rest of it. This pile of junk rated at 6.2 and now it's down to 5.8.It can only be surmised that this garbage is being voted down by people actually having viewed the movie after the cast and crew voted it up.Avoid this moronic trash, unless severe brain pain is an uncontrollable fetish of yours. Seriously, it's bad.

#1 A Movie should have a Plot That Actually Makes Sense Right. Two aliens land on earth to collect a team that had been sent down long ago to study and watch us. I get that. Some of the team has gone "native" and doesn't want to go back I get that too. But why were they all sent to London? We don't know. Why don't they want to go back? We don't really know? Why are they all being forced back? Don't know. Why can some remember who they were and some can't? Ibid. WTF is going on with the alien support group??? Don't even get me started. Why did the alien's daughter dissolve? What was up with her face??? Why WHY WHY ???? #2 A movie should not conflate style with substance (aka "A Movie is not a Perfume Commercial") That's right - a perfume commercial. In the middle of the far too sparse dialog there appears throughout the movie sudden shifts in imagery with a musical score tuning you in that something significant is being shown. Except it's not. What was the significance of the Japanese lady who's face is half formed out of pebbles( or something) that keeps popping up? Why was there an image of a turkey's head which kept popping up throughout the movie? At least I think it was a turkey. It might have been a vulture. Or maybe a turkey vulture - I Just Don't KNOW ! Why Shezad Dawood ? Why are you showing me this image. Surely it must mean something? It doesn't. It doesn't mean anything at all. It's just there. Damn you turkey-vulture! You mean nothing to me ! #3 A Chase Scene With Bicycles Chasing Down A Car Is Not Unique - Merely Inane There is a car chase scene. The car is being chased by alien-hybrid kids on bicycles. That's right - on bicycles. Not even racing bicycles but the kind of high-riser your little sister might have. I'm pretty sure that I saw tassels. I think the chase scene lasts a good ten minutes. One of the characters actually says (anxiously) , "They're getting closer!" Ten minutes. I can say no more.I could go on but I don't have the heart. I'm pretty sure there were some scenes meant to have comedic value. An alien goes into a bar and gets drunk ... ha ha. Such scenes fell flat. This is they type of movie that some people are going to be afraid to critique properly because it seems somehow avant-garde and they perhaps might be afraid of being outed for an idiot but I am here to tell you that the turkey-vulture has no clothes and that this movie is a piercing waste of one's time.
