Another Earth

Another Earth is the least Sci-fi Sci-fi movie you'll ever see. This dramatic film tells the tale of another planet which mirrors ours identically, right down to its cities and those residing in them. There's another NY, LA, another Chatham. Another George Bush Sr. and Jr, another Kony, another Jeff Hopman. That premise however is downplayed to an (over) dramatic story of a young girl and middle aged man both dealing with a great deal of grief. It's a redemption story of sorts. The movie moves at a very slow dramatic pace and had it not had the Sci-fi element to it, it may have been too melancholy for the average person to enjoy. I enjoyed it. This is not Independence Day. Young males be warned. I can recommend it on the fact that it's on Netflix Canada. 90 minutes well spent.
