VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

ladybug2535 What is wrong with some of these viewers? This is FAR from being a bad movie! While not Oscar material it was still good and the acting was fine (a few of the extras were somewhat stilted but the main leads were good). It seems that every time an actor has an accent they get labeled as "bad" actors--- I have no major complaints about the film at all. I found the family relationships moving, and the storyline kept me engaged. There were no major inconsistencies in the storytelling either, nor was the music a problem.I have learned to distrust IMDb ratings but for the opposite reason from the complaints listed here. These "critics" are rating films way too low, just what are they comparing this with? There is plenty of room for the middle of the road film without needing to tear it down because it doesn't meet super blockbuster Hollywood budget standards. Science fiction seems to be a favorite target of these nay-sayers, probably because it takes so much money to do any special effects right and most science fiction movies have special effects (including this one). It's difficult to do it right on a limited budget. I liked the fact that this movie focused on the people, and their relationships without ignoring the science--all of the best sci=fi does. Ignore the extremely low reviews, this movie is worth watching.

Leofwine_draca ONE UNDER THE SUN is one of those philosophical science fiction dramas made on an indie budget which barely covers the cost of shooting let alone the proper qualities associated with movies. Thus the mildly interesting premise, about an astronaut returning to Earth with unexpected powers, is let down by bog standard execution and a slow-moving narrative that consists of people sitting around and chatting. There are few actors here who do nothing to lift the material, and seem bored by the whole process. Attempts at depth and sentiment are quite laughable through-and-through.

alanc88 I have just committed a cardinal sin. I read the reviews which all proclaimed this film to be absolutely pants - and the I watched it right to the end! Don't do what I did, take notice of the reviewers and don't waste your time. The acting(?) is absolutely diabolical - surely there will be no more roles for anyone after this? To put it briefly; there is a planned mission to Mars - no idea why really. The lead woman has a dying daughter, but she didn't appear to give a toss about her during the first half of the film, she just upped and left but later on it was all about 'I want to see my daughter'. We don't actually see them on Mars, just a rocket taking off and a caption saying '3 years later'. Incredibly the woman is the only survivor of a missile attack on re-entry. She is taken in by Gov officials for interrogation and is deemed a danger because she has now got some mind reading powers, so they decide to do away with her. So, should they send in a couple of 'heavies' into the cell to hold her whilst the doctor injects her with some deadly poison because she is such a risk? No frigging way - just send one guy in on his own so she can kick the crap out of him and escape. When she has escaped she gets visits from the other 'dead' crew members telling her that she has survived because she has an important message to tell the rest of the world. A lot of this is cryptic waffle - unfortunately I couldn't understand a word of the actress playing the part of the 'African(?)' woman so I don't know what she had to say. So now she's escaped and the Gov know she wants to get to see her child - what should we do? - send in a posse of agents to the home / hospital to kill her because she is such a danger and they did try to kill her when she was in interrogation? Not on your Nelly! Just send (2) guys - the boss man and an agent who happens to feel sorry for her. I can't say much about the ending because there wasn't one - No message to earth, to the 7 billion people living here or most annoyingly for me is for the people who watched this crap. Rant over, I'm going for a lie down.

margbracy This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life and I've seen many, MANY movies including some very bad ones. What made it so awful is the arrogant lecturing tone of much of the dialogue, the over-the-top sentimentality, the wooden acting (if you can call what they did on screen "acting") and the very poor attempts at depth and relevancy by trying to pretend that there is some far reaching message in it -- there was none. I'd really like my $3.99 back for renting it but I know that is a lost cause so I'll just do what I can to keep others from making the same mistake and hope to never come across this lame writer, this godawful producer, this terrible director and these horrible actors again.
