Review:
Let me start off by saying that I am not exactly sure what to think of this film but I think I really liked it. There is not much to say about it without spoiling anything but it is a very interesting science fiction film.
The story is unique, thought provoking and quite compelling. The basically deals with isolation and psychological trauma as our protagonist is lost in space and it depicts it quite well. Boring as it may sound, it's actually quite interesting and intriguing.
I think the director William Eubank did a very good job as a first time director. It's very well shot, and has beautiful cinematography. It has very stunning visuals and the special effects are quite impressive for it's budget. I also like the sets and the scenery, and the final act is excellent. It also has a catchy soundtrack/music score from the band Angels and Airwaves, whom I had never heard of prior to coming across this film.
There is one thing that bugged me though. At times, the film is a bit slow moving and at other times, the story was a bit difficult to follow, so I sort of struggled with it. But it may be one of those films where you have to watch it more than once to fully understand and appreciate it.
Overall, I enjoyed this film very much and I highly recommend it to sci-fi fans.
In the end, I'll say "Love", while slow moving, is a pretty impressive directorial debut for William Eubank and it should be able to satisfy big sci-fi nerds.
Max Scale:
8/10
