SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

This movie and it's concept reminded me very much of a children's book I wrote and I wondered if the writer and makers of the film struggled as much as I did with how to tell a story with a message. I kept wondering if I had at least succeeded in telling an environmental sci-fi story without clobbering readers to death with my message. I also wondered if it's possible to tell the truth about a terrible situation without being all about the message.I found the film interesting enough to stay with it to the end and I was never bored. There were times when it seemed so professionally done and I found the acting more than satisfying but at other times, it seemed a bit amateurish. Visually, the cinematography is good and it's an enjoyable film to watch. For it's message, I very much want people to see it. I agree with an earlier review that the narrative wasn't needed and didn't add anything to the story. There were some inconsistencies with the narrative that bothered me also. The story is told by a grandmother to her two young grandchildren. The narrative drops off and the viewer begins watching the actual story unfold. I wondered if the grandmother in her telling of events to the children, edited the story for parts where the two main characters of the film work out their sexual relationship.On another note, I could see a correlation between the native music that opens the film and its theme. I assume the music was aboriginal but felt it could have been better at setting the mood and laying down some subliminal connections between the native people of Australia and the mystery surrounding the alien and the truth of her message.All in all, I would recommend it. I wish it were more polished and thought out a bit better at the end but at the same time, it has beauty and worth few films bother to convey.

IF you want to see this same concept done PROPERLY, see the Bollywood film P.K. Its a masterpiece, as for this film I am giving this a 10 star rating just for the good concept.-1 For the alien who is supposed to be naked, but in one early show the camera is misplaced and her lower garment can be seen.-1 for the alien who can speak PERFECT Aussie and knows what a frog is and has no issue with earth words or language or connotations.-1 for wasting time on the round and round time lapse over indulgence in the start. We get it director, you just discovered time lapse! -1 For the entire movie having a voice over, thats just lazy screen play!-1 For the entire damn movie being about two people just speaking.-1 even if the entire movie is some people speaking, it can be better done, like the man from earth -1 for having an environmental theme and NOT showing any polluting factories and extreme crap humans do! that would have made this film a LOT better!over all a huge missed opportunity so 3/10 rating!

Not only do alien visitors look exactly like furry armpitted human woman and not only are alien visitors able to perfectly speak English (with an Australian accent) they ALSO call their stars by the SAME names our Earthly astronomers have given them!And topping all that off, all alien life knows just how mean, evil, wasteful and destructive us humans are. And they're quite willing to tell us just how bad that is.If you ever have the chance to see this movie, don't. Well, unless you suffer from insomnia or the choices are this movie or exploratory surgery without anesthesia.This movie tries to get a moral, ecological point across but only succeeds in making you yawn and pray it ends soon.

Simplistic, pragmatic, tedious and unforgiveably boring. It's very difficult to make a good movie out of a conversation - which is really all this is. I kept waiting for there to be some real action. Never happened. Don't even bother with this one unless you like pretty scenery and nothing else.
