Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 29 Another Earth (2011) is a slow-paced indie sci-fi drama that takes its time to build atmosphere and meaning rather than relying on traditional genre excitement. The film moves at a very deliberate rhythm, which may not work for everyone, but it fits the reflective tone it’s aiming for. Instead of focusing on spectacle, it leans heavily into mood, character emotion, and the idea of consequences and personal reflection. That approach gives it a quiet, almost meditative feel throughout. The pacing is definitely the biggest hurdle, as some scenes linger longer than expected, but there’s still something compelling about its simplicity and emotional core. Overall, it’s a thoughtful and unique film that rewards patience, even if it feels a bit slow at times. i rate it a 7/10 See more Luis M @RT11088085 Oct 24 Only a FOOL will turn a cool sci-fi concept like alternate dimensions and turn it into a "soap Opera" that you can watch at midday on open TV.... there are a LOT of scientific problems with this idea such as how the gravitational forces would create earthquakes in both earths, or how at that distance Any radio telescope observatory could listen easily to all their transmissions, or how it got into our orbit so easily (how did it decelerate??) but the problem I have is not scientific but that they didn't explore this concepts and instead they made it into some BS drama!! (they pulled the same crap with a movie about time travel called "Kate&Leopold" with Meg Ryan, making it a romantic comedy)... however, it was written by the very same Actress Brit Marling!!

I think I'll watch The Accountant again just to wipe this movie from my memory.

It's almost as if they started off with a sci-fi movie, but got so hung-up on the relationship aspect of the story that halfway through they changed their minds about what kind of movie they were making. The fact that there's a second Earth within traveling distance of ours, another Earth that the movie is literally named after, that somehow has almost nothing to do with the plot, makes for a confusing and disappointing film. Do not recommend. See more Madam D @Madam1948 03/29/2025 If you enjoy thoughtful sci fi this is for you. Especially for an independent film, the limited special effects are cool. The main character is played by one of the co-writers, and she does a great job. See more Laura W @RT08427794 02/28/2025 Brit Marling gives an authentic performance of simultaneous strength and fragility, and the script, which she co-writes with Mark Cahill, is somehow both intense and understated. A conceptual sci-fi that explores the ‘what if’ of the existence of another Earth, through a woman’s attempt to find redemption following a tragic and unforgivable mistake. The poignancy of the impact of tragedy on the main characters is made bearable by the possibility that the mysterious ‘other earth’ might somehow offer new hope. Marling’s work, as ever, is a wise and delicate balance of the paradoxes of existence. See more Read all reviews
