Review of Alien Code

Alien Code (2018)
9/10
A Tale of the unpacking of an inexplicable menace
16 February 2020
What would it be like, if you were tasked with decoding a strange message?

What is you found out that decoding that message allowed for the building of a Dangerous Machine?

What if you found that that because you chose to decode the message, the Machine was already Built and was already Working?

The professional elegance of this Movie is that the the special effects were minimal, but precise. The script/plot is spare, but tense.

It's about Time, Perception and Choice.

Several other reviewers have mentioned these other shows and I agree: This is a a subtle melding of a bit of FRINGE, a bit of the old Outer Limits and the bit of the old Twilight Zone.

The acting is on target for all the characters. And while some may call this flick 'Low budget'-- I disagree: the Musical scoring alone is high standard studio professional. It wasn't just filler noise-- they matched and underscored the growing mood of uncertainty.

And the Menace is beautifully Inexplicable.

This is a Thinking Person's Sci-Fi story with a dark Twilight Zone Ending.
