Very Tiny, Personal Crisis on Two Earths
Sorry, this has nothing to do with DC. Another Earth is another good-looking indie sci-fi film that seem to be more prevalent these days. A simple but definitely out-there concept, using it to examining how real people might react, to better understand the human condition — why, just like the short SF stories of the ’50s used to do! Anyways, this one looks possibly sappier than, say, the fantastic Moon, but it’s still getting rave reviews (it also stars Ethan from Lost, but I don’t know how much of a draw that is). Might as well give it a watch if it comes to a theater near you, right? Besides, we really have few enough opportunities to support good science fiction flicks, don’t you think? Thanks to Brett M. for the tip.
