I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Yes, I am saying politely in the summary. This movie is so atrocious that I advise everyone to use all of its package as combustion to set some good fire on freezing nights.Astounding feat: The first half-hour of the movie presents the main actress trying to find her sister. A complete banal and monotonous way to open a film with the first 35 minutes (!!) filled with walking around thru nothings and the nerve-racking ineptitude of the actress to have sex with her man.Plot review: It is an amazing silliness with grotesque and pointless annoying shots after that blank 35 minutes. The movie tries to offer a miscellany of alien conspiracy theories and weirdo scientific experiments but only delivers confusion, commonplaces, poorly conceived interactions and a horrific bad experience to the viewer.Big question: How this script found funding is an enigma to me.Conclusion: Avoid this one for the sake of your time.

Spoiler alert!!! It started okay, 2 sisters, 1 ill, the other taking care. Hart warming. But then something went wrong and the movie went down from a wanna-be A-movie to definitely a B-movie. The scenes which were meant to be exciting were dramatically bad written. And if it wasn't the writer, then it was the student-cameraman who shot the scenes! And what's with the angel? Is it an alien abduction? Or is it the bad guy from hell who want's to get to know how to make a human? The parallels at the end were surprising, I like that in movies, gives hope or something. OMG, and know I'm loosing more time by writing this review. Sad, a very sad movie :(

This is a story that evolves as more of the plot is revealed. As a woman deals with fighting cancer her sister disappears during what is perceived as an alien abduction. Sesma obviously has explored the broader concept of aliens and their "possible" true origins. Blending the spiritual with an emotional trauma, and the awareness of a more sinister construct of our universe, "Lost Time" delves deep into the psychological nightmare and fear that surrounds the mysterious phenomenon of lost time/abduction experience. There is times when some noir permeates the film and reminds me of "Dark City" (not so much in style but in attitude). For me personally, I found the film pulsating with real human emotion, human tragedy, and fear of lost control over one's destiny. Not only on a science fiction level but a level that is very much grounded in mortality, and confusion. The characters, although at first glance seem two dimensional, are standard paradigms emoting despair and desire for self-preservation. "Lost Time" is a complex story that at times feels a bit too tragic and macabre, but also generates such intense, surreal elements of horror. And don't get me started on the fact that the story touches on the concepts of inter- dimensional, multiverse concepts. Comparisons between man's mythology of creation and that of extraterrestrial interference. The special effects and cinematography in "Lost Time" is stellar, with some truly chilling moments. It is a blend of CGI and practical, both done top perfectly and present the necessary spectacle you need to create the moment. I didn't find any of them to be cheap or cheesy. The sound effects and instrumental music is pretty "cookie cutter", it is all sounds we have heard many times over, but they do play well with the scenes, and really drive in the sense of dread that "Lost Time" goes for atmospherically. Overall I enjoyed "Lost Time". The story does get a bit heady at times, and may seem confusing as to the true nature of this chilling tale so be aware. Some moments do loose momentum as far as thrills and intensity, but those moments don't last long. Most of the story stays dark and edgy. This is a more mature, stripped down sci-fi that uses a more toned down amount of CGI and effects to create those elements of fear, or science fiction. I enjoyed the fact that "Lost Time" starts as one kind of alien-esque story but then evolves into something different and far more sinister. The ending is a bit confusing and seems to reach for that final conclusion, but it is creative.

I am an avid alien abduction enthusiast. Movies that would be given really bad reviews I would enjoy merely for the sake of the alien abduction theme.It's a rare theme, a genre I desperately seek movies on. A well done alien abduction movie will scare the pants of me and leave me awake night after night watching the open door.This was not one of them. If I was even slightly entertained by this movie I would have lovingly given this a 5 or 6 star rating. But No.The film had potential as well, the script started off okay but was executed in such a way that the only thing stopping me from turning it off was my desperate need to see another alien abduction movie. Then the script went bad, really bad.This movie hurt me.Can someone please make a descent alien abduction film?
