Cosmos begins nicely with some character introductions and brief plot setup. A trio of astronomers out in the woods settles in for a night of star watching in their well equipped vehicle. Rather quickly one of the three discovers an unusual audio signal coming from the stars. Through some investigation, the trio realizes they have an authentic alien signal. From there the race is on to tell the world.
Acting was solid in this one with all three of the main actors doing well in a film that required solid emotion and depth throughout.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were well done considering this was a very low-budget film with an even smaller technical crew. Dialogue was the meat in this one and it was nicely done with good movement, detail, and depth. Sound and soundtrack are enjoyable and fitting.
While Cosmos may sound like an intense sci-fi flick, it is really more about the drama. There is little action, no aliens, and only a whisper of special effects. Those who enjoy a sci-fi with well developed characters and sub-plot drama should enjoy this one. Those wanting aliens and explosions will likely be disappointed.
Nothing here to limit audience age.
