About this movie

This deeply emotional and extraordinarily profound film became a must-see sensation at the Sundance Film Festival. Beautiful, bright and fearless newcomer Brit Marling and fan favorite William Mapother (TV's "Lost") star as Rhoda and John, two people whose worlds collide after a tragic accident. Their intimate drama plays out against the astounding discovery of Earth 2, a parallel world that poses provocative and fascinating possibilities. Does a new Earth mean a chance at another life? Another destiny? Another self? Another Earth is science-fiction at its best -- with a mind-bending surprise ending that you will never forget.

i thought this was a great movie. after reading other reviews, i knew not to expect rockets and space travel. This is more of a drama with a sci-fi twist. great story and characters. the one thing i didn't understand was that Earth 2 was close enough for civilians to see the surface with a telescope, I would think that the gov't would have been able to see details of Earth 2, buildings, people, etc with their super telescopes. Again, not your typical Sci-Fi, great watch though.

I found Rhoda to be both. She acts selfishly throughout the movie. She lies to herself, tries to convince herself that her actions are to help the man she wronged, but really her actions are motivated by the desire to appease her own guilty conscience...i have to stop myself here or i'll go off on a rant about this character...Moving on...The preview gave the impression this would be a sci-fi. It's not, in fact there is very little science in the movie. Best thing about this movie was the last minute.

Good movie but not so logical. It is almost impossible that another world would be so close to ours. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the imagination of it but the only way for another earth is if somehow earth got knocked off it's course and got sucked into a wormhole
