Einstein's God Model is a 2016 movie about a guy who loses his fiance and tries to contact her with a magical device made by a dead scientist. He's all driven and unwilling to give up on his dead fiance. He connects up with a couple of guys who worked with the dead scientist and they have a lot of conversations on psychics and other dimensions. It's a well enough made movie but kind of slow moving. It's all sad and there's way too much yakkin' among all the characters. Speaking of talking I just don't buy into the talking to the dead so much. Not too interesting to me. I kind of started speeding up the movie to get to the end quicker. I'd give it a miss if I were me.
The Second Best Science Fiction Movie Ever Made isn't. It's not even in the top 1000 best SF movies ever made. It is a 2010 release that the IMDb says was made in 1996. It is about some astronauts that were kidnapped by aliens, taken to a planet where they had a great time but caused problems. None of the characters is very likeable so I had no one to root for. The aliens got tired of the astronauts fighting and have returned the astronauts to the Earth so they can fight it out. It lacks a good script, the scenes seem rather disjointed and unconnected to each other at times. It's kind of dull on top of that. I didn't really need to see it and I wouldn't recommend it.
Alien Strain is a 2014 film about an alien abduction. A couple is camping when the woman disappears. The man searches for her and a year later she returns. She's different and her body has open sores on it. The movie jumps around in time, the man is in a mental institution in some scenes and he tells the doctor most of the movie in flashback scenes. It wasn't clear for a while what was going on. It's the first film from writer director team Robert Benavides Jr and Andy Palmer. They've mostly been production people. With a bit more practice, and a better script, they might wind up with better films in the future. They produced a decent looking film, mind you they had a $2,000,000 budget, but the story lets me down. I gave it a 4 on the IMDb for having an interesting concept.
