Another Earth (2011)
Directed and
co-written by Mike Cahill this film stars it's other co-writer, Brit
Marling and William Mapother (Ethan from Lost). On the night an
identical twin of our planet appears in the sky a promising young
student drives drunk and kills a man's wife and child.
Despite there being a
lot of promise in the set up of this film it largely skirts around
the edges of being interesting, never really fulfilling it's promise.
Scientific implications are largely ignored in favour of a small
character piece but I am not a fan of the resolution that gives a
simple and unearned way out for the protagonist. Considering the film
was made on such a small budget the production values are high and
the affect of the second earth work well.
2/5
