LOST TIME is another independent film exploring the subject matter of alien abduction, but this time it's been made in the worst possible hands. This is a typical greyed-out digital movie with nonsensical storytelling, a confusing narrative structure, and extreme boredom. The ONLY thing this has going for it are small roles for familair cast members including Lin Shaye, Derek Mears, Robert Davi and Luke Goss, but you have to wonder about the state of the film world when they're reduced to appearing in nonsense like this.

Spoiler alert!!! It started okay, 2 sisters, 1 ill, the other taking care. Hart warming. But then something went wrong and the movie went down from a wanna-be A-movie to definitely a B-movie. The scenes which were meant to be exciting were dramatically bad written. And if it wasn't the writer, then it was the student-cameraman who shot the scenes! And what's with the angel? Is it an alien abduction? Or is it the bad guy from hell who want's to get to know how to make a human? The parallels at the end were surprising, I like that in movies, gives hope or something. OMG, and know I'm loosing more time by writing this review. Sad, a very sad movie :(

I have to agree with the people who reviewed this title when they said that they do not understand what was this film about.Was it about alien abduction or was it about MILF trying to find herself in this huge world of ours? I really did not get it.If you are looking for a good film about alien abductions, well this is not a film about it. I think it is more about MILF trying to find what is beyond.Please do not watch this film. Waste of time.I want to take this opportunity to ask US government and especially President Obama to use his last two years in office to disclose everything about aliens and what is the truth and what is not. Since he will have nothing better to do in his lame duck period, I think it will be a perfect opportunity to make himself even more famous if he disclose EVERYTHING known to the public. Public can take it.

This is a story that evolves as more of the plot is revealed. As a woman deals with fighting cancer her sister disappears during what is perceived as an alien abduction. Sesma obviously has explored the broader concept of aliens and their "possible" true origins. Blending the spiritual with an emotional trauma, and the awareness of a more sinister construct of our universe, "Lost Time" delves deep into the psychological nightmare and fear that surrounds the mysterious phenomenon of lost time/abduction experience. There is times when some noir permeates the film and reminds me of "Dark City" (not so much in style but in attitude). For me personally, I found the film pulsating with real human emotion, human tragedy, and fear of lost control over one's destiny. Not only on a science fiction level but a level that is very much grounded in mortality, and confusion. The characters, although at first glance seem two dimensional, are standard paradigms emoting despair and desire for self-preservation. "Lost Time" is a complex story that at times feels a bit too tragic and macabre, but also generates such intense, surreal elements of horror. And don't get me started on the fact that the story touches on the concepts of inter- dimensional, multiverse concepts. Comparisons between man's mythology of creation and that of extraterrestrial interference. The special effects and cinematography in "Lost Time" is stellar, with some truly chilling moments. It is a blend of CGI and practical, both done top perfectly and present the necessary spectacle you need to create the moment. I didn't find any of them to be cheap or cheesy. The sound effects and instrumental music is pretty "cookie cutter", it is all sounds we have heard many times over, but they do play well with the scenes, and really drive in the sense of dread that "Lost Time" goes for atmospherically. Overall I enjoyed "Lost Time". The story does get a bit heady at times, and may seem confusing as to the true nature of this chilling tale so be aware. Some moments do loose momentum as far as thrills and intensity, but those moments don't last long. Most of the story stays dark and edgy. This is a more mature, stripped down sci-fi that uses a more toned down amount of CGI and effects to create those elements of fear, or science fiction. I enjoyed the fact that "Lost Time" starts as one kind of alien-esque story but then evolves into something different and far more sinister. The ending is a bit confusing and seems to reach for that final conclusion, but it is creative.
