This is a film for film lovers. The cinematography is immersive, rich and thoughtful. It literally takes you back in time where life seemed simple, but in reality, was anything but. This isn’t a sci-fi, but rather, a glimpse into a time that revolved around backwards social norms, with hints of racism. The alien plot in the background is just that, background.
The only down side to the film is that it didn’t really hit home on either of those topics. Nevertheless, the film has long, spanning scenes that are enjoyable, much like a Tarkovsky flick. Watch and enjoy.
Note:
I would like to see a directors cut of this made after he has read all of the reviews from the audience. It could go from a 3 star to a 4.5 star easily.
