majoraward-1 Maybe in 2039 an ISS will have gravity but I doubt that. I gave it a 5 as it was thought provoking but I don't know if he was seeing things in the end or if it was an explanation for everything before. On the other hand I have not written a review for ages so it did get to me and I think it should be seen by a wider audience and deserves better.

rkhen You know you're in for a thoughtful, challenging film when not one, but at least TWO of the reviews here are titled "Boring, boring, boring". But enough about you, rapier-witted viewer; what did you think of the film?This is an independent effort filmed without commercial backing, in the backyard of the producer's parents. This fact will amaze you when you see it. "Love" is one of those indies that reminds you that filmmaking isn't dead. (Just not profitable, in a world of boring viewers.) The parallels to 2001: A Space Odyssey (another "boring, boring, boring" film) are striking, right down to the fact that the leading men share an uncanny resemblance. In "Love", however, the antagonist is not a virus-infected computer, but the hero's own mind. Anyway, if you want to see what you can do with little money, a high concept, a talented actor (who holds down most of the movie all by himself; think "All Is Lost" -- yet another boring movie), and sheer grit, then give this a spin. It's an astonishing film.

jzakany I watched the movie due to the synopsis on Netflix and the awards it displayed. Have you ever seen a painting that looks like a dog ate a box of Crayola crowns then threw up on a canvas? Then a bunch of art critics rave over the painting as "insightful" and "deep" and "awe inspiring"? Then you find yourself scratching your head and wondering if you're in the midst of a live reenactment of "The Emperor Has No Clothes". The painting is clearly garbage, but no one wants to speak up and say so because they don't want to be seen as an imbecile by the art community. That's what we have with this movie. This should have been a 10 minute short. So much of it is just a waste of time. Well, the guy is in a space station all by himself. He gets lonely. We don't need an hour of him being lonely to get that point. In the end the parts and pieces are not tied together. Some reviewers say it does. *** Contains Spoilers *****For example, there is an Ark containing human knowledge and the thoughts and memories of certain humans. The Civil War soldier stumbled on it back in the 1860's. How did it travel back in time? How did it get built in the first place? Did humans build it knowing the end of mankind was near? If so, why did they leave the guy on the space station?Apparently the humans on Earth have all died. We can assume it was due to a war, but we don't know. In the end of the movie it appears that he found out he was rescued by aliens. Ironically, the message he receives is that in order to survive humans need to form a connection with another human being (Love). But, the aliens don't provide him with any kind of interaction. He's all by himself with an alien sending messages telepathically. I assume it's telepathically because the movie does a horrible job at conveying this message. So the entire point of the movie is that he is the last human being alive, aliens have found him, aliens have told him humans need a bond of love with others to survive, but the aliens leave him all alone. To me that's the ultimate form of torture. Well, the next to the ultimate form of torture. The true ultimate torture is sitting through this movie.

graysonc It's hard to find a good Sci Fi movie. And this turd didn't make that statement any less true. I honestly can't recall the last time I saw anything this utterly lacking in any redeeming qualities. Watched it on Netflix and I'm still angry that the lowest rating I could give it was 1 star. I want to give it negative stars. He's in orbit but obviously experiencing full gravity, with no explanation. All ground stations simply stop responding to him at once and his response is almost nil. Eventually they send him a single cryptic message about how they don't have the manpower to de-orbit him then refuse to explain what the hell is going on. The movie flips in and out of Civil War history clips, dream sequences, interviews with nameless individuals with no apparent connection to the story and random shots of all sorts of odd things, in such a chaotic fashion it's impossible to establish if there even IS a plot. The audio is full of odd noises which are sometimes the radio, sometimes his delusions(?) and sometimes just background noise for the soundtrack. He decides to end it all by de-orbiting himself (not by firing himself out of an airlock or something to send him earthward but by lowering himself on a cable; in what gravity?!) then decides not to. Goes nuts and stops grooming himself and spends enough time growing facial hair and wallpapering the station that the dwindling O2 which made him want to end it all would surely have run out. Then a Borg Cube shows up out of nowhere and then he wanders through old abandon buildings for a while in a space suit with laced boot, no oxygen tanks or fittings to attach such (but with a closed helmet; breathing what?) And we end with some complete nonsense about a large building crashing in the desert in the 1800's? And we wrap it up with more gibberish about companionship and social interactions. Painful. Save yourself the agony and avoid this.I suppose that (maybe) if you were on strong hallucinogens you might see some deep hidden meaning or something but I highly doubt it and don't recommend trying it. I think the more likely scenario would be that it would just confuse and depress you. So if you do try that, make sure to have someone around who can rescue you. Horrible, horrible junk. I'm just stunned that anyone could put that together, sit through it and say, "Well, great job everybody! We've done it! The movie is complete."
