Synopsis:
When Julio wakes up in a strange apartment after a night of partying, he’s pleasantly surprised to discover it belongs to a beautiful one-night-stand he can’t remember - Julia. What’s already an awkward situation is made even more so when they discover a giant flying saucer hovering above the city, which is now deserted. Now Julio must contend with a jealous ex-boyfriend, an eccentric neighbor – and very possibly the end of the world!
We like it because:
“Extraterrestrial” is a brilliantly oddball twist on the typical sci-fi. Director Nacho Vigalondo invades the genre with his own brand of absurd humour to become the Woody Allen of science fiction! Unusual, hilarious, charming and above all fun, worlds collide in this offbeat sci-fi comedy that needs to be seen to be believed. Do you believe?
