Interesting premise, but could be much better.
1. Why do none of the characters try to meet each other? I would be soooo curious to meet my alter self and say "hello". I wouldn't be afraid, either. It's me! I like myself, no?
I think the filmmakers decided not to show that option because it would have doubled or tripled the budget to bring up the special effects to allow an actor to duplicate himself or herself in the same shot. Pity.
2. What are they scared of? It's just a comet, for goodness' sake. True, multiple universes may be unsettling when confronted personally, but think of it... it's just another version of harmless, boring you.
3. No need for shaky camera. There's no running or going through a forest.
4. The dialogue felt a bit weird. I've been to a few dinner parties (yup among yuppies too) and I don't know people who talk like that.
5. The lead actress at the end doesn't hesitate to knock her alter ego out. Really? Can you imagine yourself doing that, if your alter ego presented no threat whatsoever? Or just an existential threat only?
