SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

kengibson2001-1 First of all there are so many things wrong with this movie, but let me start with the first. This film is a combination of feminist, and extreme environmentalism that advocates bringing our technology back to the stone age, or worse.The beginning starts out well, but leaves the viewer disappointed. First of all if you were expecting this movie to be realistic you have another thing coming.1. An alien lands on earth accidentally and meats up with a outback cowboy. First of all not only does she look hominid, she is an exact copy of a human being. Nothing even looks remotely different about her compared to a homo sapien .Not only does she look human, but she lands on planet earth speaking a perfect version of the Queen's English even though the human is Australian so the universal translator failed there, if that is what she used.2. She has the ability to travel anywhere and anytime she wants, but lacks even a basic knowledge of astronomy. She can't even identify her home system, so much for the superior galactic mind even though in relative terms Epsilon isn't that far from here. She also can't teleport back to her home planet.3. Her ideas while radical even by our modern standards still run out of the human mindset that has been with the US for the better part of 50 years. Think Eco-Nazis planning to return us to caveman days.4. She arrogantly chastises the human race for their arrogance but it is pretty obvious she is way more arrogant. She is also prone to violence and doesn't seem like she is that enlightened. She even cut down the human's favorite tree he has had since childhood, therefore being part of the problem she hates, and totally destroying her claim that the universe is better than human beings.5. The narrator claims they got rid of all the books, newspapers, cities within her lifetime. Couldn't have been much longer than 40-60 years. Like they deconstructed it brick by brick. Not a long enough time-span if you think about. Would probably take centuries especially if you couldn't use technology. Overall this is a terribly pretentious movie that makes Al Gore look good. I wonder how much pollution the producer caused to make this movie and transport them to various places like the outback, or the desert near Las Vegas.

liberalgems This movie is quite original! It's dream-like quality is simply delightful. I thought to myself while watching this film, "imagine what could have been accomplished with a larger budget and a harder edge!" This is a subversive story, one that political conservatives will detest. With chests puffed-out they will sing the following chorus: "What gives an "extraterrestrial outsider" the right to condemn the human race's destruction of the environment, and ostracize our precious way of life? A filmmaker with guts, that's who! The love affair between two lonely strangers, is shown to be both confusing and inspiring. While one being is obviously an alien with a unique ability to control time & place, she is in some ways, all too human! How ironic! While message movies are - for the most part - out of vogue. I dearly hope that when they come back in fashion they tackle issues regarding the health of the world's environment with a vengeance!

Snaug This a movie which needs the story to carry itself: the scenery is nice but there is nothing much else to be seen. The story touches on a number of important social subjects such as protecting the environment and tolerance between cultures as well as SF subjects such as time-travel and alien visitors. Unfortunately it does not deliver on any of these subjects. It points out problems but never hints at any solution. And how do the aliens solve these problems? Well, they have a superior intellect and solve everything through their mind: time and space travel, energy production and everything else you can think of. I do not expect the makers to have all the answers, but just summoning up things which are wrong does not validate this movie.The beginning was promising, but I ended up being disappointed in the end

_t_ Epsilon is the story setting in the outback Australian. "She" is naked, lost when accidentally lands on earth from her planet, Epsilon. Then, she meets "the man" who is camping in the bush. She learns from the man that she is on earth which she has heard that it is the worst planet in the universe. In the conversation, she tries to show the man that why the earth is not a good planet to live. Their relationship develops quite quickly during their journey. They try to find their common to live together. Finally, she decides to live on earth with the man although she did not like living on this dirty earth at first.The film is very rich in the cinematography. I think Australian nature is already beautiful and this film makes it more wonderful. And I really love the plot that does not directly teach people how to treat the earth good. The writer uses an old woman to tell the story of "she" and "the man" to two little girls. I know that this film is teaching me something but I do not feel like I am taking a lesson. I also like this film because of the well done story-line leading by just two main characters and three story tellers.
