Robert P @Superbad Sep 3, 2026 The man who fell to earth = a *4* star movie! See more Garrett J @Darrkstar Jul 17, 2026 A masterpiece of awfulness, this movie is uniquely terrible. I highly recommend that you find a good therapist before attempting to watch it. You'll thank me later. See more Jay D @Jaydegnl Jun 9, 2026 What a boring, empty incomprehensible movie this was. Yes, I realise there is a deeper meaning but this one is way to deep if you ask me. When you finally entering the plot, you think everything is going to be explained, and then there it is... nothing! A whole movie of nothing, heading to nothing. See more Ari V @RT59419633 Mar 3, 2026 Probably the single most difficult to rate film I've ever seen. Equal parts fascinating and halfbaked silliness. It sometimes being very hard to tell when tge latter is unintentional, but some of it must have been. See more Blobbo X @Blobbo Nov 17, 2025 First date movie for Blobbo and future, now late and ex, wife. Blobbo and her both bored and confused. See more Dave S @RT68722908 Aug 27, 2025 Other than Don’t Look Now and possibly Walkabout, I’ve never really understood the appeal of Nicolas Roeg movies. The Man Who Fell to Earth, one of his most beloved films, is a good example. The story is pretty straightforward – an alien (David Bowie) travels to Earth in order to investigate the possibility of transporting water to his home planet, which has been ravaged by a drought, an interesting enough premise. However, Roeg insists on forcing his directorial genius on the audience (the constant use of pointless zooms, for example) and fills the movie with scenes that add nothing to either the story or the development of the characters. Despite good efforts from the interesting cast (Bowie, Candy Clark, Buck Henry, Rip Torn, etc.), the characters are painfully dull, to the point where when things finally start to wind down, it’s hard to care about what happens to any of them.
