Kritiken (6)
Ein dummer B-Movie-Klon von Krieg der Welten und Matrix mit einem soliden Budget. Die ersten Kontakte mit dem Außerirdischen sind okay, aber allmählich häufen sich unangemessenen Ausdrucksreaktionen der Protagonistin und unsinnige Dinge. Am Ende hat das Drehbuch keine Idee eingegliedert, die den durchschnittlichen Film retten könnte. Es macht den Film mit einer lächerlichen Pointe kaputt. Es wirkt so, als ob ihr Autor im Leben nur zwei Filme gesehen hätte (die oben genannten). Sogar die Außerirdischen sind hier nicht besonders originell.

Dieser Film ist viel klüger, als es scheint. Alles, was einen überrascht, hat am Ende einen Sinn – das Fehlen von Dialogen ist keine pseudo-künstlerische Manier, das „gewöhnliche“ Aussehen der Außerirdischen ist keineswegs einfallslos. Dieser Film ist ein sehr ähnliches Erlebnis wie Nope, er ist aber definitiv keine Kopie. Brian Duffield hat genauso wie Jordan Peele seine eigenen Ideen und seine eigene Vision, die so originell ist, dass er sich erlauben kann, Unheimliche Begegnung der dritten Art und in einem Augenblick sogar Shining zu zitieren. Diese Entscheidung hat aber zu keinen unerwünschten Vergleichen geführt. Ich war von Kaitlyn Dever vom Anfang bis zum Ende begeistert – ohne Worte konnte sie alles sagen.

Pretty meh in the end. A rather skillful genre exercise with the most bland looking alien you can imagine. The interchangeable trauma subplot shouldn't have been there at all, or should have been in a more ambitious film. It just stalls the flow and then downright kills the finale. I also rated last year's Nope by Jordan Peele with only three stars, but the creativity of the execution of those traditional UFO/ALIEN themes was completely different there. 5/10 (almost at **)

A likeable alien abduction Invasion. A month ago, the trailer for No One Will Save You pleasantly shocked me and promised a new Sci-Fi horror flick, which it didn’t deliver, but it's definitely a decent genre addition and since we get very few of these alien genre flicks, the film certainly doesn't offend. The film hinges on the likeable Kaitlyn Dever fighting alone against an alien invasion, which thankfully picks up very quickly and has a lot to offer. The craftsmanship is up to par, the music and cinematography are decent, the atmosphere is slightly uncomfortable in a few scenes, the look of the aliens is traditional, but that's exactly the look I like (too bad she didn't kill off more of them). I didn't mind that there is hardly any talking, at least everything moves forward quickly and there is no room for boredom. The finale is a bit meh and deprived the film of a 4th star, as it had a solid path to it. I liked Nope a bit more, but this definitely doesn't put the Sci-Fi genre to shame. 6/10.

You don’t have to wait long for the signal, and in a quiet place, heavenly creatures spring into action. A social outcast, a belching death metal vocalist, an aggressive gremlin-like creature, a giant spider yogi, or a telepath with parasites. Then, what starts as a home invasion trilogy turns into a fourth installment where you have to guess if it’s all about millennials under pressure, an inquisitive alien race studying unusual behavior in other species, or something completely different. And I couldn’t care less. The visuals aren’t bad, but if it had a poster in some back alley behind a bar, Fox Mulder would probably aim a stream of urine at it.

No One Will Save You is a bit of a different UFO flick that is very much its own alternative (the whole film is almost without a single word... ), but on the other hand it goes back to the original way in terms of depictions and shows aliens as these weird little grey men flying in saucers, which some people criticize, but I appreciate, because lately the trend is to show aliens as the weirdest and trendiest creatures possible, moving away from the original form. The film's distinctiveness then makes it a fairly memorable and entertaining one-off, which further distinguishes itself by virtually going nonstop on alien chases, and by not talking, the film cleverly avoids filler, and virtually everything that it wants to tell us, it delivers it in a wonderful way in the form of a constant, perfectly paced musical score (and it plays a huge role here), the main character's emotions, or clever plays with the locations. As a result, I was unexpectedly surprised at how good a piece of work it actually was, until all my positive feelings were finally washed away by the sentimentally flabby finale, which ruined all the previous action-driven suspense and great visuals with its oddly overwrought final journey into the emotional core of the heroine and her painful trauma. (?????) An eternal shame and a missed chance to create a new kind of UFO flick, of which unfortunately not many are being made these days...
