Love (2011)

Love: Directed by William Eubank. With Gunner Wright, Corey Richardson, Bradley Horne, Nancy Stelle. A man spends years alone on a space station orbiting Earth after losing communication with Houston/Earth. Time is spent on maintenance, exercise, watching old messages and reading a journal by a soldier in the American civil war 1864.

“The cinematography of this movie was beautiful. The dialogue also, especially that introductory scene, I wish there was more of it. Au0026amp;A did a terrific job with the score. And the idea of the plot was also really interesting: comparing the isolation of a man deep in space who loses contact with Earth, to a soldier in the civil war hundreds of years in the past who must leave his regiment to perish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI only wish these stories had tied together more strongly. The parallels were there, but there wasnu0026#39;t enough exploration. There were only a few times the astronaut is even reading the journal, and I felt that should have been the focus. Instead the two stories were tied together using a very unnecessary and bizarre deus ex machina type plot element. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat is my main complaint. My second complaint is the pacing of the movie was very irregular. Iu0026#39;m sure this had to do with the fact that it was made over a 4 year, inconsistent, time span. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI feel this movie had amazing potential, and obviously Will Eubank is extremely talented, but these inconsistencies took away a lot of the beauty of the movie for me.”
