    Storyline

    Edit
    Isaac Cypress works for NASA's JPL lab as a mathematician/scientist. He is working on a video self-journaling project, encouraged by his counselor, when a UFO makes a precipitous landing nearby. He is startled a short time later to see an alien behind him. The last thing he recalls is being pulled into the sky. Upon returning home, he learns that he has been missing for three days. The video footage suggests he has been abducted by extraterrestrials. He posts it on the Internet, but hardly anyone believes his story. He becomes obsessed with finding proof, which leads him on a journey of discovery. Via the internet he seeks others who might have had similar experiences and meets Sara. She, too, was abducted and lost three days of memories. Both have a soreness in their right arms. Isaac is approached by a man who claims to write a blog and wants to help him get more credence for his story. But he's really an agent of a black ops agency who wants to learn more about the aliens and the whereabouts of an Alaskan man who claims he was also abducted. Isaac manages to break free from their holding facility in Costa Rico and flee with Sara to British Columbia. —Garon Smith

    • Trivia
      At 1;34 Zed says 'You've got an Avalon vt 737 sp. David Bowie used one of these'. Completely correct. Bowie and Visconti certainly used one on Heathen. What is great about this line (any Bowie reference is great anyway) is that the 737 is a pre-amp / compressor which is basically used in recording studios to pre process vocals. Also really enjoyed the film. Different and unexpected content.
    • Goofs
      The distance from Costa Rica to British Columbia, as the crow flies (not up the coast as they traveled) is 3800 miles. The Cessna Seaplane they fly in has a range of 482 miles and cruises at 140mph. It would have taken 27hours and they would have had to refuel 8 times. Going the coastal route would have taken much longer and more refuels.

    It's not unwatchable, BUT...
    This film is kind of a fascinating trainwreck of someone who was trying to be Spielberg but also wanted to be John Hughes. It mean, it's so...uneven. The photography is fine, the dialogue is above average, the acting solid. But I would never have thought this was written and directed by the same person; it feels like the writer and director were at odds with each other.

    The basis of the story is a video of an alien that a guy says he shot, and the story is driven by whether it is real or not...but you never get to see the video. It's like a McGuffin...but you NEED to see it to validate the other characters' responses. It's cheating the viewer by not letting you see it for yourself.

    And the music is TERRIBLE. Invasive, and tries to drive the emotion of the scene in all the wrong directions. I swear, if I produced this and heard that music in the final cut, I would have paid out of my own pocket to have it re-scored.

    It's not awful. It's not unwatchable. But it always feels off tempo, off balance...and not in a good way.

    Overall: Meh.
