Isaac Cypress works for NASA's JPL lab as a mathematician/scientist. He is working on a video self-journaling project, encouraged by his counselor, when a UFO makes a precipitous landing nearby. He is startled a short time later to see an alien behind him. The last thing he recalls is being pulled into the sky. Upon returning home, he learns that he has been missing for three days. The video footage suggests he has been abducted by extraterrestrials. He posts it on the Internet, but hardly anyone believes his story. He becomes obsessed with finding proof, which leads him on a journey of discovery. Via the internet he seeks others who might have had similar experiences and meets Sara. She, too, was abducted and lost three days of memories. Both have a soreness in their right arms. Isaac is approached by a man who claims to write a blog and wants to help him get more credence for his story. But he's really an agent of a black ops agency who wants to learn more about the aliens and the whereabouts of an Alaskan man who claims he was also abducted. Isaac manages to break free from their holding facility in Costa Rico and flee with Sara to British Columbia.
Leave your thoughts about Proximity.
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenGood-looking and technically well crafted, the film struggles to get past pastiche and conjure an involving world of its own. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreBut this clunky movie is more fun to play the “Wait, why?” game with than to actually watch. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversA tale of alien abduction, Proxmity serves as an in-and-out impressive calling card for debuting feature writer and director Eric Demeusy. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakThe script is sadly too shallow to bring everything together. |
| The GuardianLeslie FelperinThis dorky, silly sci-fi feature offers a weird blend of high-grade craftsmanship (especially from the visual effects, cinematography and music departments), and guileless ineptitude, especially in the crucial realms of screenwriting, acting and editing. |
| User ReviewlesmooreDecent enough B-movie Sci-Fi fare. Not completely a spoiler, but Jesus H. Christ there was a moment there that really took me out of the picture. |
| User ReviewDubeauProximity is a sympathetic teen flick fiction movie. The story is good until 2/3 of the movie. Then you fall into androids, religious motive and super heroes kind of powers. The FX are really good for such a small budget movie. The soundtrack is kind of teen related audience and sometimes distracting. The acting is unequal. I am unsure about the casting, some are pretty good, some barely on the line. The ending was a mix bag. I really hated the religious aspect of it, but I like the other stuff. I don't think the ending is any justification for Alien's presence. It's just too stupid to swallow for any intelligent audience. I give it 52% because some actors were pretty good in it. The ending can be deceiving but the rest of the movie is acceptable. |
| User ReviewAWESOM-0The first half of this movie was quite good. If it stayed on that kind of quality trajectory it would have been a 7 or 7.5 for me. Then things turned and not in a good way. It all went bad at the moment they introduced the gov agency (men in black) to capture Isaac. It's weird that it seemed like the acting and story took a nose dive, I'm in shock at how bad it got. |
| User ReviewMack9393Aliens coming to earth looking for Jesus? Cool idea, poor execution. One solid twist surrounded by half assed cliches and awful writing. The sound track is unbelievably bad too. Idk how some of those songs made it into a movie. |
| User Revieweva3si0nProximity begins as an interesting low-budget sci-fi movie. Then the script begins to overlook the world around it and its rules. After that, a complete crack begins with theft and struggle with whom it is not clear and why. And looking at it is already painful. Another person shot this, and for some reason I am ashamed of the viewer. The end of the film is so generally one of the dumbest scenes. Utter disappointment. |
