Story |
|
| Synopsis: | Like most people, Joe Norman just wants the ordinary things in life: a well-paying job he doesn’t hate, an affordable place to call home, and a nice girl to settle down with. But an ordinary life is hard to come by when you’re the sole surviving son of Zalaxon, a world embroiled in endless rebellion against the invading alien dictator Xalador. Charged by his dying father to remain hidden and continue their species, Joe searches continuously for a “compatible” human mate. So when he meets Maria, Joe believes his quest might finally be nearing its end. However, the course of true love never did run smoothly, particularly when intergalactic bounty hunters are involved. After Joe reveals his extraterrestrial origins to her, Maria believes it to be nothing more than an unhealthy obsession with old Battlestar Galactica reruns, until she, too, starts seeing the signs of an interstellar conspiracy at play. Redefining the concept of star-crossed lovers, writer/director Alan Brennan approaches his sci-fi rom-com with a witty, inventive playfulness that keeps his characters, and audiences, guessing as to the film’s ambiguous truth. |

"The thinking person's loopy sci-fi movie.. Earthbound acquires a pathos that places it outside the realm of comedy or sci-fi, turning it into a psychological drama that probes self-delusion and even psychosis" - Variety Magazine "Exquisite comic timing and heart" - The Seattle Times "A tiny epic sci-fi that sets phasers firmly to charm ..Earthbound’s imagination abducts your heart" - VodZilla "Witty, funny, quixotic, and at times heartbreaking" - Giant Freakin Robot "Spall is terrifically deadpan" - Variety Magazine |
