Not sci-fi

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2004)

Sometimes I wonder how different people see and value a movie. Question is not if they just take popcorn or 10 bawling mates as companion, not if they do homework or talk entirely with their cellphone while important pictures pass the screen, go 5 times to toilet or are out for beer.
The big question this film pulls up is why we struggle so hard in getting along with each other, why we fear, want and dislike possible "neighbours", why we don't believe what we can't see, also why we underrate our own existence, our hopes and dreams, why we reach out for new dimensions and once there's a little bit of answer soon boggle and deny because it disturbs the "earthly" universe.
This is not a popcorn film. It requires attention and ability to disengage, to let loose. Pure Sci-Fi fans should go watch Starwars, Fantasy fans maybe Lord of the rings. But if you're ready to open your mind, merge and understand how and why "civilized society" sometimes acts like from another star, this one might be the right for you.
