This early 80's lighthearted scifi is going to win no awards for, well anything but certainly does have its qualities.Starring Robert "Revenge Of The Nerds" Carradine this early 80's scifi effort tells the story of a girl who begins to hear ominous noises coming from a supposedly abandoned military base. With her boyfriend in tow they go investigating and find more than they ever could have expected.Though extremely dated the film is interesting enough to keep a viewers attention but has severe pacing issues and the ending is highly predictable and underwhelming.I was just waiting for Carradine to deliver his trademark laugh and always find myself struggling to take him seriously despite him being a terrific actor.Wavelength is a decent enough effort but hardly original.The Good: Robert Carradine Well made The Bad: Very dated Pacing issuesWeak finale Things I Learnt From This Movie: Naked children make me very uncomfortable If Carradine had played his Revenge Of The Nerds character this film would have been brilliantIn every single movie the governments reaction to aliens is exactly how I'd imagine they'd react in real life

Love this Movie a lot but I have not seen it for so long before DVDs come out....? I watched it on VHS Renting and I will never forget the Amazing Soundtrack from Tangerine Dream...? Please release it on Blu-Ray finally somebody.....? Great Story about little Aliens Crashlanding on Earth and Chased from the US Government of course all around the Dessert.....? Just a simple Story with minimum Special Effects at the Time but still very Powerful thanks to an Amazing Soundtrack......? I remember the Acting was OK but shame it was an smaller made Movie Pherhaps Straight out on VHS release...? I gave it 10 Stars because I really need to see this again somehow....? Its been about nearly 30 Years by now....?

I saw the trailer for this film on an old VHS I was watching, and was intrigued enough to purchase it on eBay. All I can say is it was worth every cent. A marvellous little "unknown", with strong performances from the whole cast and great chemistry between them. The storyline is solid and unique, and is nowhere near a rip-off of earlier films. Of course, the music was another bonus, particularly the quick, sharp cues we get during the most dramatic scenes.A lot of tension is evident throughout the film, building up as we go along to a most memorable conclusion. The shots of the spaceship in the desert with the stunned Air Force pilots were great! There seems to have been a great deal of effort put into pacing too, and the film flows along very smoothly. Just an excellent movie and very highly recommended!

If you get a chance to see this movie at all, then understand that WAVELENGTH is reversely similar to E.T. Remember, I said REVERSELY! The first half bores and does not hold my interest. Stick around much longer and maybe you'll enjoy the rest of it. Here's where E.T. is the other way around, as two young people flee the underground research facility with real live aliens, but this looks utterly corny for an 80s sci-fi picture at a time when acting was becoming more improved than the drive-in heydays. The film's climax and conclusion is where your interest wanes once again, meaning you've wasted too much valuable time enjoying a mediocre movie. It has a nice, well thought out idea, but that's not enough when you had an upcoming release that tried to prove superiority over an already big blockbuster movie like E.T.
