For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Mandeep Tyson
The acting in this movie is really good.

IF you want to see this same concept done PROPERLY, see the Bollywood film P.K. Its a masterpiece, as for this film I am giving this a 10 star rating just for the good concept.-1 For the alien who is supposed to be naked, but in one early show the camera is misplaced and her lower garment can be seen.-1 for the alien who can speak PERFECT Aussie and knows what a frog is and has no issue with earth words or language or connotations.-1 for wasting time on the round and round time lapse over indulgence in the start. We get it director, you just discovered time lapse! -1 For the entire movie having a voice over, thats just lazy screen play!-1 For the entire damn movie being about two people just speaking.-1 even if the entire movie is some people speaking, it can be better done, like the man from earth -1 for having an environmental theme and NOT showing any polluting factories and extreme crap humans do! that would have made this film a LOT better!over all a huge missed opportunity so 3/10 rating!

This movie is quite original! It's dream-like quality is simply delightful. I thought to myself while watching this film, "imagine what could have been accomplished with a larger budget and a harder edge!" This is a subversive story, one that political conservatives will detest. With chests puffed-out they will sing the following chorus: "What gives an "extraterrestrial outsider" the right to condemn the human race's destruction of the environment, and ostracize our precious way of life? A filmmaker with guts, that's who! The love affair between two lonely strangers, is shown to be both confusing and inspiring. While one being is obviously an alien with a unique ability to control time & place, she is in some ways, all too human! How ironic! While message movies are - for the most part - out of vogue. I dearly hope that when they come back in fashion they tackle issues regarding the health of the world's environment with a vengeance!

Epsilon proves that science fiction need not be only about huge special effects, cross marketing and vapid story lines. (Don't get me wrong, I like these things to, they just aren't essential)This film has an incredible heart, a storyline which while fairly simple is nonetheless thoughtprovoking and powerfully emotional, some fantastic performances from The Man and She, who are under the camera in every scene and shine and beautiful cinematography.Rolf de Heer is like an Oz Cohen brother, he has put his hand to a wide variety of genres of film and never once failed to deliver a masterpiece (or near masterpiece)It may be hard to find this film and you may find it a little slow to begin with, but just let it draw you in and feel your consciousness evolve. (Ok, that maybe a little over the top but it is pretty profound)

Epsilon is the story setting in the outback Australian. "She" is naked, lost when accidentally lands on earth from her planet, Epsilon. Then, she meets "the man" who is camping in the bush. She learns from the man that she is on earth which she has heard that it is the worst planet in the universe. In the conversation, she tries to show the man that why the earth is not a good planet to live. Their relationship develops quite quickly during their journey. They try to find their common to live together. Finally, she decides to live on earth with the man although she did not like living on this dirty earth at first.The film is very rich in the cinematography. I think Australian nature is already beautiful and this film makes it more wonderful. And I really love the plot that does not directly teach people how to treat the earth good. The writer uses an old woman to tell the story of "she" and "the man" to two little girls. I know that this film is teaching me something but I do not feel like I am taking a lesson. I also like this film because of the well done story-line leading by just two main characters and three story tellers.
