Time, Place, Myth and they're right here on Earth!, September 20, 2000
I believe that [some] miss the point and yet, simultaneously proves the point of Alien Visitor when they state that "there isn't much going on here". While it is true that we see no sleek space ships, ray guns, or interstellar battles, the film is rich in its storytelling and a modern mythology that makes historians and anthropologists (yes, guilty as charged) smack their lips. The principals have no names other the "She" and "the Wandering Man" but they fill the roles of ancient goddess and true believer which populates the creation and renewal stories, originally in an oral tradition but later written, which have survived from countless ancient civilizations, whether from the Near East, Africa, Aboriginal Australia or Native North America. Myth transcends time and the place is always the same: Earth! Again, Sci-fi, Action film fans may fall asleep in their popcorn, but for those who crave a good story which makes you think about where you come from, are now, and may soon be,it is a true diamond in the rough.

Alien Visitor, January 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Alien Visitor (DVD)
This is a thoughtful film, that, in addition to the communication between the man and the woman, uses the beautiful Australian outback to emphasize the message. Yes, it has a strong environmental message, and at the end, an excellent speech is given about man's coming together to fight wars to right perceived wrongs, but as we continue to despoil the earth....we have yet to come together to "fight the war" to right the wrong that is being done to our own habitat: the earth. The photography is great. Makes one want to go to Australia.
