Well this concludes Another Earth. Some thoughts for now:

• The movie definitely exists as a drama with more of a SF background. As expected, Another Earth is not something we will set foot on but something to strive for. Its sudden appearance is never explained (it is spotted in the distance at first and when jump 4 years ahead it is much closer now, enough to be reached by modified Saturn rocket and be seen quite visibly in the night sky, soon dwarfing out the moon) nor how it works. In the end it exists simply because it does.
• I should have seen the end coming but it was still a nice little reveal.
• The tone of the movie is morose with a bit of pretentiousness
• Brit Marling, the lead, co-wrote this with the director, Mike Cahill. The story is not something that’s out of place for Outer Limits/Twilight Zone.
• Speaking of Cahill, although IMDB lists him directing a documentary a few years prior this still feels like a first-time film. There’s fondness for sudden zoom and a lot of similar wide shots. But still has lots of promise

In the end I liked it, it’s…a more emotionally resonant episode of the Outer Limits.
