Kept thinking about it
When I first watched this movie, I agree it seemed campy and rough. But, I kept watching it and it was engaging enough to keep me following it until the ending, and I liked the ending a lot. It brings up a lot of interesting ideas about alien life and what left-over artifacts might be found. The really interesting part is that I've thought of this movie many, many times since I saw it. Its seems to stick in my mind. So, based on this, I've decided to write this review and give it 4 stars, in an attempt to raise the rating on the movie a little. Its really a lot better movie than most of these reviews say it is.
This movie is Fantastic
Well, it seems that some of you think that this movie is boring and predictable, but this movie is extremely provocative, and extremly creative. It is similar to the creative movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Vincent Gallo is an artistic Genius, his style of Acting is so creative, that it blows my mind. Kudos to you, Vincent. Check out Vincent Gallo in the movie Buffalo '66; a movie Masterpiece, which i recommend anyone and everyone to watch. This movie deserves to be considered among the best of the independent industry: Requiem for a Dream, Kids, Lost in Translation, 21 Grams, etc.
For those of you who are lost in Hollywood babble !!!!Open your mind!!!!.
Good movie, bad DVD
I enjoyed this film very much... although it bears hardly any resemblance to the original film or book, it's very cleverly done. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the guys in this film are very good looking... wink wink.
The DVD however... total bomb. There is nothing in it except the 'scene selection' and 'play film' options. I would have loved to have seen deleted scenes, or making-of's. I would have loved to see more of Andrew Lee-Potts (Jacob) seeing as he was my favorite character... but since the film itself is so good, I give the DVD 4 stars.
Best Hallmark film
This would have to be my favorite Hallmark film ever (well ok... tied with Secret Garden). The movie is simply fantastic. The scenery, acting, and story are perfect. However, I couldn't give this DVD edition 5 stars because the Disc is practically empty. All it contains is the movie and a scene selection menu. In an age where we expect to see original trailers, filmographies, and "making of" featurettes, one cannot expect to be happy with a DVD this bare. The sound, although really nice, is a tad bit disappointing as well. With 5.1 as the norm, 2.0 doesn't quite please. I really wish that they had put a little more work into giving this wonderful film the release that it deserves. Still, this disc is the best way to see this masterpiece. If you love great stories, get it =)
Great Film!
This movie was absolutely captivating. From the very beginning my attention was caught and lasted throughout the entire film. The whole build-up of the Jacob storyline was what really moved me. The one thing that prevented me from giving it 5 stars was how the ending seemed a bit rushed. I feel they should have explored the feelings of all members of the family a bit more. I would love for them to make a sequel to this film about Sarah, Jacob, and Earnst going back into society. But all in all, it was a truely moving movie.
