Leofwine_draca PARADOX ALICE is a typical indie drama with a science fiction backdrop. The main characters are on a spaceship heading into the deepest reaches of space to carry out their mission. The thrust of the film is on human drama at all times which makes this a humdrum exercise in filmmaking. The characters sit around in dingy locations and converse for hours with little else going on. There's no lousy CGI which is a good thing but the setting is only half convincing. Still, it's better than the non-existent story complete with dull characters and their heartache that never really proves all that affecting.

tabright37 The usual fodder coming from Hollywood characters in movies these days.You have the "normal" atheist/agnostic people and the evil, schizophrenic religious one. The only thing that slightly redeems this film is the interesting twist on how the human race will stay in existence. Of course, this is based on anything and everything but God. Nothing new there either. I enjoyed the first part of the movie, but once the only female on board died it went straight downhill from there.Apparently, the person writing the script for the religious nut isn't very familiar with the Bible or they really believe Cain's wife was one of his sisters.However, if you like watching movies about a woman being treated as either prize or piece of meat you'll enjoy this movie more than I did.

silent_bren77 I'll try and limit and/or be vague in the details to not spoil too much. What looked to be a decent premise for a Sci-Fi film at the start quickly turned bizarre and disturbing. The disturbing thing wasn't the "transformation" one of the crew underwent, but the reaction of the 2 other crew members. One gets a messiah complex while the other drifts in & out of madness, both of them almost instantly fall in love, in their own warped ways, with their transformed crew member. This is what basically carries the entire movie as mankind looks to be all but extinct (which would've been a far more interesting part of the story to follow). The only reason I gave it a 2nd star was the only redeeming quality of the movie...the last 30 seconds where we finally realize the on board Computer AI's, Red, part in the whole story aside from being a homicide threatening asshole. Still, aside from getting the gist of what happened in the end, there is absolutely NO foreshadowing that this crazy twist is coming. Furthermore, the ending "X-factor," if you will would've made a FAR better movie had it been woven into the story at some point instead of the "Oooooooo...CREDITS." The acting was OK from the female lead, but the other 2 could've been replaced by horrible soap actors, but that's probably because the writing was absolutely terrible. The rape was certainly hard to stomach. The only redeeming quality was plausible scientific reason a transformation could have occurred based on other animal life. I just go back to my original statement. The launching premise was a great idea and had tons of potential for something original. However, terrible writing and mediocre acting drove this piece of $h*t straight down the toilet. However, I'd like the writer to give me the agents number who sold this script. Because I want to know exactly who I have to sleep with to get 100 pages of fecal matter green-lit for production.

voicesinthedark The description of this "movie" is very deceptive as it describes itself as being a sci-fi movie. However, other than the location and initial portion of the movie it has very little to actually do with sci-fi. The vast majority of the "movie" is a sermon on how god has a plan for all of us and that you should believe in god and without god there is no salvation and so on. "spoiler alert" <- Site necessityThen the movie continues on to depict violence towards the assumed last remaining woman, an attempt to brainwash her, and finally followed up by an equally distasteful and offensive rape scene, all under the premise that it's okay because it's "god's plan" for them.When there is an absolute necessity for something like a rape scene either because of depiction of true events or because it's absolutely critical then while it may be an overall offensive addition it is there because it's absolutely necessary, and often times film makers will mention it happening and avoid showing it. In this movie is wasn't necessary at all, in fact there were numerous ways that it could have been completely avoided or reworked to be only an attempted rape. The only apparent reason why this scene was added to the movie was to bolster the preaching that god punishes those who don't accept him into their lives. I think it's important to state that I'm not anti-religious, I personally belief that everyone has the right to belief in whatever they want.
