Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
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

Product Description
Get ready for the cool, uniquely intriguing sci-fi story of a beautiful and sexy woman who's really from out of this world. "She" is an inhabitant of the planet Epsilon who's mistakenly transported to Earth ... and dropped into the middle of the Australian outback! There, she happens upon a man camping alone. By the time she convinces him that the intellectually inferior people of Earth are destroying their planet, the two have fallen in love. As this highly unconventional saga leads you in one surprising direction after another, the man ultimately takes what he's learned on a crusade to save his planet!

4.0 out of 5 stars Time, Place, Myth and they're right here on Earth!, September 20, 2000
By Lex King (Fair Oaks, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alien Visitor [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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.
