This movie is about first contact. It has something in common with First Encounter: it is not paranoid. It is also a very emotional movie about friendship among men. And nobody gets punched or shot. I felt moved, and grateful . Please do not comment negatively because it did not feed your craving for violence and fear of the unknown. It was never meant for you. Or maybe it was. Try it.

This movie is not about feeling sorry for the protagonists. It is about the conflicting desires, values, opportunities that make our lives an unholy mess from time to time. The place and time chosen make for believable interactions berween very different people living through very different, if intermingled, crises. This is not about good or bad people or about winners and losers. It is about being human, the predicaments thereof, the tasks, the sorrows and the loves. I welcomed it . Oh, there is a gunshot : paintball, color green...
