This movie is offensively stupid. Fuck Mike Cahill and Brit Marling for writing this. Fuck the slow motion shots, fuck the blue color palette, fuck the singing saw, fuck the stupid fucking sci-fi doppelganger elements, fuck the absurd relationship that develops midway through the movie and fuck the ending. Watch Melancholia instead.

Numerous flaws, however I look forward to the sequel, in which the bereaved husband and father engages in a series of closely-matched battles with his doppelgänger (who turns out to be an evil version of himself) in order to take rightful possession of his alternate family (who, fortunately, turn out to be even better than his original family).

Amazing film, great acting and a powerful story. Beautiful soundtrack and some thought-provoking scenes. Rather light on the sci-fi elements but that doesn't hurt the film at all. Ending is brilliant but you'll have to see for yourself. Highly recommended, especially if you go in with an open mind.

Everywhere you look, synopsis' for this movie say "discovery" of another Earth, like it had been sitting up there, a big blueberry in the sky for millions of years and nobody noticed. Some guy looks up one day and points, "Dude, what's that?" "Dear god, it's another Earth!" Maybe next time Cahill can think up a plot that couldn't have been bettered by a toddler.

Slow, dreamlike, and absolutely beautiful - "soft" sci-fi where even with alternative planets and space travel, it's still all about two people and who they might have been and might still be. It's not Solyaris, but it might just be this year's Moon.

The strengths of this are a neat idea of a duplicate Earth (fuck logic -- it's used to examine guilt and redemption and whatnot), a strong performance by Brit Marling, and pretty solid music. It also has a wonderful little ending shot to tie it all up. The drama is handled well. It was never boring.

A pretty good movie about guilt and redemption, nicely executed for the most part. As the movie progresses you start feeling more and more for the protagonist(s). However the secondary science fiction story (which isn't exactly believable) offers a possible happy ending and enough ambiguity to possibly spoil the whole point of the movie. Well, you'll just have to see it to figure it out for yourself I guess.

A quiet tale of guilt, accompanied by a unique poetic motif standing for all human uncertainty hovering in the sky above. A lot is done with very little here; the settings and performers are sparse, but they all serve a definite and meaningful purpose. The use of the duplicate Earth in the background is very frequent, but somehow never feels overused. It's such a perfect symbol that serves the capacity of this medium to its fullest. The ending is the best I've seen in many years.

There was a fantastic period when technology allowed indie filmmakers to make cool sci-fi films that were superior to their big-budget counterparts. This film was a perfect example; as we see a young woman trying to correct a wrong in a world that's being changed via its speculative premise. It's also great in how it presents just enough of the science to the audience. Still, it's a sad example of sexism that Britt Marling didn't get more work after its release. Highly recommended.

Marling shows her talent with Another Earth, a film that is more about a woman's guilt, grief and penance than it is about a duplicate planet. The SF elements are used to further a philosophical discussion and thematic exploration of determinism and hope. Cahill's direction is raw and unpolished in places, leaving certain details vague, but effective in conveying an impending collision between the characters. Enjoyable but not exciting.

It's a flawed, predictable after-crime/accident moral tale masked by an indie low-key sci-fi premise, but Brit Marling's haunting, pale and stoic presence on screen turns this into a philosophical speculation about an idea that hardly comes to our minds when we think about what is out there: what if, instead of other races, we just find alternate versions of ourselves? Good, but also struggling film -- and there Fringe episodes which are better than this.

You'll find here a lot of subtlety in the vein of Kieslowski (you could see even more direct inspirations story-wise with Double Life of Veronique and Blue). And I'd rather call it magic realism than SF. The story isn't very elaborate. It's more-or-less only an extended metaphor. Fortunately, Brit Marling is heart-breakingly lovely enough to carry it through.

It has 'art school project' written all over it. Fucking hipsters 'being creative', but in fact it's just a poorly executed (promising) idea. Cinematography, editing, acting looks and feels amateurish and cheap. There were a few lines in the film that really caught my attention (story of Russian cosmonaut), but those bits are ever so rare. Cahill still has a long way to go.

A great premise ruined by an execution that simply did not ring true. Only a young scriptwriter with absolutely no life experience could write characters that would behave in this way. And making everything blue in post does not substitute for cinematography. Disappointing because I really wanted to like this.

Well directed and well acted. Brit Marling was a good choice for the lead. Despite not much happened in the main plot, the substantial power of the story was loaded into the never reached another Earth. It was thing they talked about and it was all the time in the reach of the hand. Very powerful inner science fiction story indeed. The end was a nice touch.

Another Earth has such a unique and interesting story, which does not happen to often these days with so many remakes and unoriginal films being made. The film deals with many human emotions, revenge, lust, gluttony, but also has just enough sci-fi to keep you guessing throughout the film. Both of the story lines blend together perfectly, and the conclusion will you leave you speechless. Another Earth is a one of a kind.

Cahill's and Marling's debut (or, to paraphrase Marling, this opportunity to create acting work for herself) makes use of cinéma vérité techniques to tell a human story with a sci-fi backdrop similar to Cloverfield or Primer. It's easy to deride this movie for what it's not, but what it is is a drama about remorse, coping with the unforgivable, and what it is to face oneself. The cinematography is gorgeous, lingering on all the right moments, and the score heightens the constant tension well.

A really thoughtful and melancholy film. It's a science-fiction concept, but I think the movie has a a lot of sincerity and emotional honesty. Among Brit Marling's best work as an actor and a writer. As well as William Mapother. Mapother may be best known from Lost and as "Tom Cruise's cousin," but he really does well here.

Understated but utterly compelling drama pic, neatly written and with fantastic performances from the leads - this is the kind of thoughtful, moving film that I wish we would see more of. The real trick of Cahill and Marling's screenplay is to let the other-world backdrop give the film extra room to breathe above and beyond the taut emotion of its characters. They are forced to reflect on their situation and we are given the time and space to do that ourselves. Highly recommended.

This movie annoyed me with a ridiculous premise and heavy handed story telling. Music and plot is overly dramatic. While the moment to moment story is often engaging and worth watching, it is held together by a ridiculous unnecessary premise. They could have made a better movie based on reality since absolutely none of the nonsense was essential to the story. An example of just how easily a movie can go off track by idiotic plot contrivances and/or marketing gimmicks.

Along with Brit Marling impeccable presence,"Another Earth" is a sheer of slow,but mesmerizing piece of melancholic drama.

Spoiler Alert - What really soured the movie for me was the totally unneeded romantic connection between the student and the composer. Movie makers need to somehow learn to keep love out of movies and just focus on the main storyline sometimes. The movie is sort of hollow - it promises a lot in the beginning but hardly delivers.

A touching drama/romance/sci-fi movie co-written/produced/starring Brit Marling who was a graduate of Georgetown University as an economics major. This film was nothing like I expected. It has a very slow pace but has some really beautiful moments in it and it also has some really dry moments. Brit Marling was stunning in this though and I really hope she keeps doing movies because she is very interesting to watch, she just captivates you. An interesting concept done pretty well.

Uses its clearly limited budget very well. Marling's lead performance is excellent, & although her odd-couple relationship with Mapother's character is compelling, it is slightly underdeveloped. Visually "Another Earth" is nice too, with images of 'Earth Two' used very effectively. The sci-fi elements take a back seat to the central relationship, but both elements marry together well. Some scenes don't quite work, others however are really brilliant, including a supurb final scene.

A really divisive movie for me. I liked the idea here, the questions it posed, the way the characters seemed realistic with how they reacted and how they made mistakes, how broken up they were due to their individual experiences. The ending was... disappointing? I get that it was meant to stay open for interpretation, in which place are we at the end of this movie, what is going to happen next, but with posing so many questions throughout the story, it never answers them.

Intriguing if not entirely successful rumination on existential matters doesn't really use the "Earth 2" concept in a resonant, meaningful or conclusive way - without it, it's a poignant and understated portrait of grief and loss, (as much for Marling as Mapother) if ultimately plotted in a way that resembles a soap opera. Worth it for the leads whose developing relationship has a sweet poignancy; just would have worked better with either more or less of the "gimmick".

It’s on the border between good and great forme, I think the sci fit should have been explained better with reasoning or not even included at all. The main story is a story of trauma and loss which is done well, although it is funny in short explanations, ‘women kills whole family and then replaces dead pregnant wife who she killed”

I love to believe that the second Earth was strictly a metaphor in the hearts and minds of people in need of redemption, as otherwise some of the plot points would appear underwritten. Brit Marling is shockingly beautiful. Great metaphors sent in a memorable way - the film was beautiful despite the handheld camera - and through the few golden moments that tied it together nicely as a heartfelt piece of art, it left a heart-wrenching emotion and kept me at the edge of my seat throughout.

Chameleon face on lead role, she was great. Story itself oscillated between too heavy and too light. Love how the sci-fi is backgrounded to the same extent that family is backgrounded -- here are the things that the lead cannot relate to, family, earth, here is the thing which might solve that, the other guy and playing as his family, another earth. Reminded me of Melancholia, symbolic use of sci fi elements to describe inner mental/emotional being.

They're not totally original, but the ideas and themes behind this film are pretty interesting. However, I don't think they all came together perfectly. I just didn't find the main character's story all that compelling, though. I've seen the same kind of thing before, and yeah, I didn't really care about her. The ending, while cool, I saw coming miles away. It's an interesting and ambitious effort, but it's limited and ultimately somewhat mediocre.

Slow and brooding throughout which let's the movie suffer in the middle but a decent build up to the end that will open lots of questions.

Too slow for its own goods at times, but overall a good movie with a great ending.

Don't compare this to After Earth, please. Because it is a good movie, with interesting questions asked and not answered 100%.

Top badass moment? It features a new planet. It's like Earth. Exactly like Earth. If that's not badass enough for you then I don't know what is. This is a profoundly slow and sad film, (despite its vague attempt to end with a moment of hope). It’s also an excellent illustration of the Sex Pistols’ lyric, “a second of your life, ruined for life”. That’s probably why I like it so much; very realistic. Awful trailer though, as it gives away the plot. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

It wants to be a thoughtful sci-fi, but it isn't, really. Worth watching, certainly.

A nice drama. Not much talking goes on, which to me is a plus if, and only if, the characters are expressive and the photography is done right. I liked this movie, thus, needless to say that my criteria were met. Brit Marling is so sweet.

A rather illogical series of events and meanders here and there without a solid focus. The twist at the conclusion doesn't contribute to the film and it seems to be there just for the sake of it.

I really loved some of the ideas in this one, like the idea of a mirrored Earth and the way the world at large was reacting to it. Weak acting from the female lead and a little bit of hokeyness (Wise Sage Indian Janitor) bumps this one down a bit, however.

A very strange movie. It is captivating with its deeply depressing plot, but confusing and almost nonsensical. Still, it leaves a lasting impression.

Atmospheric indie that manages to make an effective psychological metaphor out of a stock sci-fi setup. Still, although it's better and more disciplilned than Lars von Trier's Melancholia, there's not much drama here.

The best sci-fi movies are barely sci-fi movies at all. They ignore the science. Another Earth just took this to the next level.

Just to get this out of the way, everyone understands that this is basically just a mash-up of 21 Grams/Three Colors Blue with little Solaris metaphysics thrown in as seasoning right? Okay good. With that said, the filmmakers show that at least they've learned a thing or two from Kieslowski and Inarritu about sustaining a consistent (if rather heavy-handed) atmosphere and poetic tone and know how to shoot their metaphoric melodrama stylishly (though i could have done without the jarring zooms).

This is not an alien movie/science fiction per se. That is just something in the background to carry the movie. It's a story of something tragic and real, and how one deals with something that could be so unforgettable. The science fiction portion was just a "happily ever after" piece to a dilemma that could really never be fixed. This a a drama piece, and one done quite well with a low budget. If you like drama, this would be a likable movie for you.

I really dislike the visual style and cinematographic choices for this movie, which I believe is not all due to lack of money. It's a decent drama and some scenes were suspenseful and others made me care about the young student, a fantastic performance by Brit Marling. The whole subplot with the blind man is kind of ridiculous and almost becomes laughable as the movie tries to get the viewer emotionally invested in that despite it not being earned.

This film doesn't use either of it's plot devices all that well.What made this an somewhat interesting film is the scenes between the young woman and the man who's life she shattered.Other then that this was pretty much a typical indie drama that while it didn't bring much to the table is interesting enough to watch at least once.

Fans of Solaris and beautiful women look no further! Though not quite the same as the aforementioned film, it offers a similar tone in atmosphere in which there's a fairly straightforward plot but set against a sci-fi back drop. At times a little slow but never boring. Brit Marling manages to shine throughout and takes Another Earth to new heights (pardon the pun). She is definitely one to watch (and I'm not just taking about future projects of hers, wowzers!).
