The Australian outback has seldom looked so beautiful as it does in this pretentious excuse to cram environmental issues down our throats. Not that there's anything wrong with being green--far from it. It's just that the film's allegorical and pedantic style is off-putting, and film narrative doesn't easily support didactic storytelling without insulting the audience's intelligence. It seems that an alien known simply as She (Ullie Birve) has arrived on Earth, the armpit of the universe, due to some error on the part of her compadres. She ends up in the Australian outback where She meets The Man (Syd Brisbane), a gregarious every-Aussie and Earth's representative to superior aliens. If only there had been a vote. She has the ability to speed up and slow down time and then jaunt about the planet, and the two of them go mind-tripping around the globe as an excuse to show how awful we humans are, with our pollution and the plight of frogs. While their relationship flowers into something as beautiful as a friendship card, The Man (we learn from the narration) becomes the emissary of She and presumably saves the world. Once again, it takes these superior aliens to show us the way. Gag me with a billabong. --Jim Gay --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition. | | | | Products related to "Alien Visitor" from Amazon.com | |
