An overall 5.7 rating for this brilliance? And I don't even believe in the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligent life. But for me, that wasn't the real point of this engaging, exciting film about friendship and solidarity of vision and purpose. And, it's my understanding that the entire film was shot on a $500. USD camera--but obviously by a master director who picked top-level actors to play four astronomy geeks to perfection. I know very little about sci-fi even though my father was an aerospace engineer for NASA, but I do know a lot about interpersonal communication, camaraderie, and life-engendering vision. And this film is one of the best I have ever seen.

5.9Plot summary
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. A clean, crisp signal cuts through the static and noise of space. When you've spent years listening to the sounds of the cosmos, you get used to hearing weirdness, but Mike Webster knows this is no ordinary signal. It's not a pulsar or a black hole, it's not interference, it's something different, something logical, something with purpose. As part of a three man astronomy team crammed into a car kitted out with all manner of stellar studying equipment, Mike is reluctant to jump to grand conclusions about his little discovery, and secretly transmits a response to the signal. Pointless, he knows, even if it was from intelligent life, it'd take thousands of years for his response to reach them and thousands more for them to reply. But when he does receive a response just hours later, his scientific understanding, and that of his fellow scientists, is shaken. Could this be genuine? Is there more to decipher from the message? How could a reply come so quickly? Before long, the team face the challenge of documenting their discovery, proving its authenticity and sharing it with the world before it is lost forever. Three astronomers may just have inadvertently stumbled across Mankind's greatest discovery: proof of alien life.

Three astronomers intercept a signal from space. They soon realize there is a whole civilization living among us.
Cosmos stars Tom England as Mike Webster, Joshua Ford as Harry Knight, Arjun Singh Panam as Roy Kennedy and directed by Elliot Weaver and Zander Weaver.
Cosmos is a sci-fi mystery film that was interesting and suspenseful. The film starts off slow from the start, but as the film progresses, it becomes engaging onward. The cinematography/lighting for the film was admirable. The lighting/music during the scenes elevated the mystery tone/mood throughout the film.
Cosmos is a suspense-driven/ astonishing surprise but has a variety of slow scenes that might disengage your interest in the film.

Is there anyone out there...?
Talk about doing things on budget! You know what though, it's not terrible. Three boffins in their car (that is converted to resemble mission control) stumble upon an anomaly while satellite hunting that could, quite literally, have interstellar repercussions. The lack of funds means there are no special effects at all and the props - well they run to a telescope, some standard tracking kit, a few speakers emitting some geiger-counter style noises and our sky watchers (oh, and a Volvo - that's very important later...). It is very dialogue heavy, and there is a bit of back-stop melodrama that at times clutters up the pace a bit; but on the whole they keep it moving along quite suspense-fully until the end. Yes, it's far too long - over two hours is completely unneccassry for the level of writing and acting on offer here, but as home-made sci-fi goes, this is actually just about worth a watch.
