Review of Another Earth (2011) by Yannick D — 25 Jul 2014
Wow, what the hell did I just watch? Not what I was expecting Why is this being plugged as a science fiction movie? It isn't. Another Earth is a low budget, indie, character drama with an intriguing sci-fi idea (that is never explored to its potential.
) It follows 'Rhoda' an astrophysics student who accidentally kills several people in a car accident. After serving 4 years in prison, she is released and tries to atone for the tragedy by cleaning the surviving victims house and joining an expedition to a new planet.
I suppose if I hadn't gone into this expecting something completely different it might have worked for me, but no probably not then either because I wouldn't have bothered. The only thing I did like was the "second earth" showing in the night sky beside the moon special effect.
