Review of Another Earth (2011) by Matt S — 26 Feb 2012

This movie was very ambitious yet simple and timely and fascinating and makes you think outside the box and an eerie coincidence that in real life they recently found a planet that may support life like earth.

The acting was believable and characters we relate to and an fantasy aspect that will make you get lost in the possibilities and what decisions would you make if you were in the characters shoes. The pace is on the slower side and in the end it might have not payed off a 100% and they could of done much more with the premise and gone further with it but the realistic approach makes the film effective as a whole and the lead character's story of redemption worth rooting for and it's such a wondrous film that it's hard not to recommend for at least one viewing from redbox or netflix ect.

Overall it's a gem of a what if film that will captivate your mind and the timing of this film is brilliant and it might as well be art imitating life we'll just have to see. Good rental.
