SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

jasperan Such a beautiful movie, cheers me up to see it in my darkest moments. Brit Marling and William Mapother are such great actors.

Count Tepes Enjoyable enough.A fairly pedestrian story which doesn't tax the brain in the slightest. I found I had no problem getting up and going off to get a drink or snack without hitting pause But as I started watching it occurred to me that it is a remake of sorts.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064519/?ref_=nv_sr_3

aimeemommy-23-645219 Spoiler alert.Nothing happens. The new earth has no baring on the entirety of the movie. Any other hokey plot device could have been used instead of trumping up a grand sci-fi spinner. The movie is not a science-fiction, future earth, or any of the things that it pretends to be.

zkonedog When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I expected science fiction of the highest order. What viewers of this film quickly find out, however, is that it is far, far from any of those expectations.For a basic plot summary, "Another Earth" opens with Rhoda Williams (Brit Marling) about to go to M.I.T. for college. On the night she is accepted, scientists discover a planet in the night sky that looks exactly like Earth. Trying to get a better look at this planet while driving, Rhoda does not pay attention to the road and crashes into a family vehicle...killing a wife and son and leaving the husband in a coma. Flash-forward four years later and Rhoda is getting out of juvenile prison for her crime. From there, two important things happen that drive the rest of the film: 1. She enters an essay contest to be on the first manned mission to "Earth 2"; and 2. She shows up on the doorstep of John Burroughs (William Mapother), the man whose family she killed who is now out of his coma.The first and most obvious thing that needs to be discussed when reviewing this film is that it really isn't a science fiction movie. In that sense, the trailer and other promotional materials are a bit deceiving. I went into the film thinking as such, and it was wildly different from what I ever would have thought. If you see potential disappointment in this or don't like movies that don't feature a lot of action, "Another Earth" probably isn't for you. Not only will you feel deceived, but you will likely be bored as well.But wait...if (like I) you consider yourself to have an "open mind" when it comes to watching movies and don't mind an odd, "thinking" flick from time to time, I wouldn't rule this one out just yet. Even though I was expecting science fiction and got human drama instead, by the end of the film I was drawn into the plots/characters and really did find myself wanting to know how things would play out. It's almost as if the director/producers of the film pulled a "bait and switch" on me...dropping the seeds of science fiction but then moving to other areas for most of the movie. It just so happened that those areas were interesting enough for me to keep watching.Overall, "Another Earth" isn't a classic film by any means. It is quite slow-moving and extremely contemplative, it promises heady science-fiction while delivering very little, and the ending will leave you with many thoughts left unanswered, that is for sure. Yet, the overall journey of the film is one that will likely keep you interested and intrigued. It isn't for everyone, but "Another Earth" will linger with you for a bit if you give it a chance.
