Sometimes, I really wish that I wrote down where I get the idea to rent a particular movie. This movie was lousy, but I remember reading a recommendation for it. There are some very interesting ideas such as the horror resulting from misunderstandings of humans of what alien contact means, but the ending was incredibly muddled. What's with the shot of the protagonists in a metal bed in a white room before they were returned? Is the implication that they were examined by the aliens again? That they're actually experiencing the events of the movie as a shared hallucination in a mental ward?
