OK not a high budget movie starring a pack of Hollywood elites and A-listers but competently directed, written and acted. I wasn't looking for some high and mighty social value. I just wanted to be entertained. And, I was.Sci-Fi premise is there. Aliens come to earth and remain hidden with a mission to study earth for colonization. The aliens appear as human with some differences. Our main character is the progeny of the union between and alien male and female earthling. Yes story has been done before but it still works. The female lead portrayed by the lovely Alexis Carra is caught up in all this when the aliens start hunting for the hybrid. His background is unknown to him but after 20 years it is revealed and the hunt begins.Both leads do well. Sorry but Alexis Carra is definitely easy on the eyes and does a good job. Look to the future for more from her. So, all in all, free movie with Amazon prime, and entertainment us there. Better than watching a Meryl Streep movie any day.

The Answer is a very low budget sci-fi movie but is capable of keeping the tension all the time while mixing an unlikely love story with an alien persecution (by other aliens). Bridd is shy person working as a mail delivery within an office; he tries to be unnoticed; but he is aware of his photographic memory and his mental (and sometimes physical) speed capable of understanding complex financial sequences in seconds or executing actions like dodging a bullet. One day at the office he meets Charlotte; a free spirited girl and both sync. However that same day; all their acquaintances get killed but some masked people and they are being persecuted while try to find out why.While the story is somewhat predictable; there is pretty good pace; plus the two main characters are far from perfect but likable enough to get you worried about. Both Austin Hébert and Alexis Carra delivers very good performances and a nice chemistry.The end is perhaps a little weak and rushed; but your are able to enjoy 90% of a very good movie anyway.

The movie is a nice try by Iqbal to bring some romance between humans and aliens if we say so. However, I felt that movie lacks many important factual information that would allow the viewers to have a grasp of where the story has begun from. Also, the movie does not qualify to the canonical movies but I can call it a "soap sci-fi" movie where we already know what would happen by just having a simple guess. In the same line, the plot is not that sophisticated and was not really polished at least to avoid some clichés. The actress fell behind in some scenes where she didn't seem natural and I bet that many have noticed that especially when they argued. Again it's a nice watch by Iqbal but compared to the gurus of sci-fi movies, it is only a decent try. The movie could be improved only adding more mini climax to it.

The story had such promise and did manage to hook me in reasonably quickly. Unfortunately, that was as good as it got. I do like sci-fi and once does have to suspend belief, but a good sci-fi film can easily make one believe in time travel, parallel dimensions etc. The first killer for me is when a **really** beautiful babe, who did not appear to be a stranger to using her sexual attraction, falls for the main character. It took me for over half the film to realise that she was not a plant by the Secret Services. So many aspects of the story could have been explored for easily another 30 mins of quality sci-fi, the film is too short at 83 mins as is. Better acting would have been mandatory. In fact, other than the promising story the only other good thing about this film is that it is indeed short so I did not waste too much of my life. Do yourselves a favour and do what the song says, "just walk on by" and give it a miss.
