Saw this as a three episode TV show on Prime. I enjoy Science Fiction, of any caliber. If the story is engaging and good then, if cheaply done; doesn't really matter. This film/TV show (whatever it is) is quite cheaply done. The acting is horrible: wooden, stale, emotionless. The special effects are minimalistic and poor. The video quality and photography is awful...but, as I said: if it is engaging and there is a good story then none of that matters. The question then becomes: is there a good story? Is it engaging? Sadly, no. This is the epitome of boredom and for an hour long film/TV show: that's pretty bad.
Two men go into a forest, and one is abducted by aliens while the other tries to keep him from being pulled away. The effects were just a blur of lights, and one can tell they had wire of some kind pulling his legs up as he apparently tried to stay grounded to a tree log by his arms. The problem with the one being pulled away is: he never struggled, never yelled, never showed any type of emotion; and the main character was just as placid.
The blue old man (apparently an 'alien') is found in a forest, and two women come across him and they're amazement makes boring seem even more boring. Especially during the "Man and God" touch. You know: man stretching out his hand to touch God. That was hilarious, in a sad and pathetic way. Stephen Hess, the writer/director, may have a future (way down the line) as a director but a writer of dialogue he is not. The dialogue is literally meaningless. The characters uttering each line is monotonous. Who needs sleeping pills when you have the script of this film.
A character laughed, briefly, 30 minutes in. Only emotion I saw the entire film or perhaps remember. Though I was intently watching it, I have no idea what the two characters were even talking about. Something about notifying the President of the United States about the 'alien/s'. I don't know...the female character laughed for some reason. First emotion I saw from her. Usually she's just speaking her lines. It's like the characters in Mass Effect: Andromeda; that's what these characters remind me of: that straight face and just speaking of words with no point or if a point, unnoticed because it's so boring to watch.
Any redeeming quality about this film? The composition wasn't too bad. It wasn't great but it was better than the film. A good scene near the end when the guy in the beginning is found dead in the forest, they have a good five or so minutes of composition playing with the characters not saying anything. I actually enjoyed that part. Isn't that sad? It's not unwatchable because, at least for me, I kept waiting for something, anything at all to happen. A little action, some drama, maybe a little comedy. Nothing ever happens well...not until the end but then it ends so what was the point of the rest?
