Another Earth ~ Review

Everyone Deserves a Second Chance

Re-Discover the Sundance Film Festival Favorite 
On Blu-ray Combo Pack November 29 

Summary: On the night a mirror Earth emerges in the sky, two lives are intertwined in a dramatic incident that will change them both forever.  In his directorial debut, Mike Cahill brings this provocative indie sci-fi film to life with outstanding performances from newcomer Brit Marling (Sound of My Voice) and William Mapother (TV’s “Lost,”World Trade Center).  Winner of the Special Jury Prize & Alfred P. Sloan Film Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, experience all the heartache and passion when ANOTHER EARTH comes to Blu-ray Combo Pack November 29th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. As an added bonus, consumers will receive two tracks from the band Fall On Your Sword, who provided the soundtrack to the film.

This "deeply emotional...extraordinarily profound" (USA Today) film became a must-see sensation at the Sundance Film Festival. "Beautiful, bright and fearless" (Associated Press) newcomer Brit Marling and fan favorite William Mapother (TV's “Lost”) star as Rhoda and John, two people whose worlds collide after a tragic accident. Their intimate drama plays out against the astounding discovery of Earth 2, a parallel world that poses provocative and fascinating possibilities.  Does a new Earth mean a chance at another life? Another destiny?  Another self?  “ANOTHER EARTH is science-fiction at its best" (The Hollywood Reporter) -- with a mind-bending surprise ending that you will never forget. 

Wow. That is pretty much all I can say about this movie. I loved it. It really makes you think about things. Everyone has always had the thought of "What if there is another world where there is someone just like me?" Well, in this movie, there is. I can't talk about this too much without giving too much away, but it really makes you think about how one simple act can change things so much, and how you can spend the rest of your life trying to make it right.

Also, this was really the perfect movie for my husband and I, because it was drama/chick flick enough for me, and Sci-fi enough for him!! He is a HUGE Sci-fi fan, and we have the most difficult time agreeing on movies to watch together. I would definitely recommend this movie (for adults) to someone wanting to have a cozy video night at home. We will definitely be watching this one again!!!
