I walked away from Melody on Earth, wondering what in the solar system I had just witnessed. It's pretty... "unique" and I must confess, I've never seen anything, anywhere even remotely close to, like it. It left me thinking, hey, I should make a movie. I mean, if Crazy Ants Media can make that...

I won't give any spoilers but I can say that the lead female is a pure joy to watch. I've never seen her in anything else but when she was on the screen, I had a strange smile on my face and didn't even realize it. The lead male is unforgettable. The way this guy smokes, does his sit ups, chases a bad guy, yeahs, there should be an award for him somewhere but, I'm not sure what category it would belong to. The other characters are just as hilarious while being extremely difficult to watch.

Please don't misunderstand. This is a great movie, you can feel the film maker's passion just ooze from every scene. The universe needs more small movie makers like these guys. But it is not what you, or I, or anyone really, is used to. If you go into it expecting plot or special effects, you're going to be disappointed. If you watch it with a special someone, and leave your judgement at the door, you will find something very special, almost, magical.

This is a wonderful little sci-fi. It's a great example of how sometimes less is more. There are no laser battles, no giant space cruisers exchanging fire over a burning alien planet. Instead, there's a great little story that chugs along at a good pace and wonderful acting by the cast.

The two leads are fantastic: Melody is so believable and lovable. The chunky detective with his hair and candy cigarettes really nails the low budget investigator who would take on such a case. The dated and retro office fixtures of his shop add to the "somewhere in time" feeling of the film.

Do yourself a favor and watch this movie if you want to see just how good sci fi can get when the focus is the story. Big budget effects can't cover up for the lack of a plausible and well constructed tale, and Melody on Earth has a great little myth to tell.

...when they're done well, and Melody on Earth is done well. It's sweet, kind of funny without making you laugh out loud, and, well...

The word is endearing. This movie really couldn't have been made with a big budget; it's too weird. I'm really glad I watched it. If you can spare an hour and a half, you might be glad too.
