In the hands of director Nicholas Humphries we get a very dark, nightmarish, swear-filled, convoluted, and claustrophobic vision of alien contact that is shocking and draining. Go to Full Review

Without the little green men, only all the genre's cliches remain. Go to Full Review

A somewhat interesting sci-fi film that has better acting and script than you might expect. Bodes well for the cast and crews future potential. Go to Full Review

Project Ithaca gets off to a terrible, borderline laughable start and never recovers in the slightest. Go to Full Review

Mark M @RT00933650 Jul 6, 2025 I think the harsh reviews were from people not giving the movie any chance and prejudging it upon viewing the initial scene. A scene which is unlike anything seen before leaving the viewer with lots of questions. For me this was a great opening because now I needed some answers and with my interest piqued and the scary background set I was all in and didn't step away untill the end of the movie. The end was actually the only part I didn't care for because I couldn't put my finger on what it was supposed to mean for the characters going forward. But other than that I am glad I stumbled on this SCI-FI film with a brand new thought provoking plot I never seen before. See more
__ _ @RT54638201 Aug 23, 2024 It didn’t really make sense, and the plot never went anywhere. A lot of narratives, tropes, and cliches were brought up out of nowhere to move the plot forward and then immediately dropped as soon as they weren’t important anymore. Several of the characters had really odd shifts in their personality that came completely out of nowhere, seemingly only for the purpose of allowing the story to move forward. The whole story lacked focus. Also the dialogue was very stiff and unnatural. See more
Brandt A @RT98289659 May 5, 2024 I'm seeing all these terrible reviews and I'm glad I disregarded them. This movie wasn't a blockbuster by any means but it was pretty cool and had something original as opposed to all the other end of days/post apocalypse/brain sucking/alien abduction movies we've all seen time and time again. It was short sweet and to the point and didn't drag on and on like some of other 3.5 hour sci-fi epic movies. The ending could've been better, but I enjoyed it. See more
KB B @Okbullard Apr 10, 2024 It's not best sci-fi movie. Don't bother with this one. See more
Will M @WillMac Sep 10, 2022 Great sci-fi flick with a cool story. Special effects are good too for a "low budget" movie. Would love to see a sequel. See more
Jun 11, 2022 I think those who criticised the movie probably judged it too quickly. The precept was so inventive and actually believable. If you're a fan of this genre, don't be influenced by the negative reviews. This is a fantastic movie of cult status. The acting is first class, as are the special effects. Dark, gothic sci-fi See more
