WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

jtncsmistad Was she actually abducted by aliens? For the love of Carl Sagan I have no idea.Here's what I do know. The new British indy "Spaceship" is among the most meaningless and morose masses of melancholia ever mish-mashed into a movie. Good GOSH these psych drug saturated sad sacks would make a damn dirge seem downright delightful.Hey Alex Taylor. It would appear you had lofty intentions whilst scripting and directing this catastrophic calamity. But in the end all you managed to muster is a miserable malaise of avant-garde posturing and pretense blown balistically out of proportion.Or more fittingly, out of this, or any other, UNIVERSE.

charlierichardson2000 The film is a sensitive, beautiful, dreamy and colourful look at teenage identity, sad at times, funny at other times. I laughed at one of the poems. It features good music - a grunge mixed ethereal sound and the young actors were believable. Overall it's a good debut and impressive talent.

jamiewolpert Spaceship is a hidden gem of a film - a lyrical, semi-improvised film about cos-playing teens lost in a sea of angst and self-obsession. However, the film manages to avoid any sense of patronising the teenage experience or of indulging nostalgia in what it's like to be young. Like early Greg Araki, the film feels not just about teens but *by* teens, with a visual flair and a voice that feels authentic and sympathetic. The film captures beautifully the feeling of being simultaneously stuck where you've always been while also feeling so lost you might never be found. The visuals and music are superb and the young cast deliver understated, powerful performances. It's an unusual film for some, but it serves an audience that mainstream cinema can't reach.

imgreatme Caught this as LFF the other week. It's pretty awful. I think it's meant to be some revelatory insight into teen culture but there's no depth to any of the characters - they're just mouthpieces for the director's pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-philosophical stream of conscience stuff. There's not much of a plot - a girl possibly gets abducted by aliens - but the film doesn't have the guts to pursue that with any real intelligence. The writer/director introduced the film and seemed to think that the film was "really weird" and we should "embrace the strangeness", but I think there's a difference between being cleverly strange like Aronofsky or Korine to create an emotional response, versus whatever this is where the filmmaker seems to think that going on about unicorns and rainbows equates to enough depth to sustain the audiences interest. It doesn't. I will say that it looks very nice, there's a sequence at a party with day-glow neon make-up that looks great - but looking great isn't enough. The actors are interesting and some of them have real presence, it's just a shame they're forced to speak the rubbish dialogue.
