Just Redboxed this movie and it was totally amazing. Different plot from anything I've ever seen, and very cool camera angles. I think it's on Netflix, as well.

Does anyone know any movies similar to this? TIA!

Hard to believe they shot the film for a mere 200K.

" Rhoda Williams (Marling) was driving in her car and listening to the radio when the DJ announced the discovery of Earth 2, which had just appeared from the other side of the sun. Gazing out her window at the newly discovered planet, Rhoda neglectfully careens into a minivan carrying a small family. Everyone but the father is killed instantly, and Rhoda is sentenced to four years in prison. Upon emerging, the repentant reckless driver finds herself drawn to the lone survivor. Meanwhile, Rhoda learns of an essay contest to win a seat on a civilian space shuttle to Earth 2. Perhaps, on that strangely familiar planet, an alternate version of herself exists -- one that has made different choices, and followed a different life path. The only way she will ever find out is to win the contest and secure her seat on a ride into the great unknown"

Via Fandango.

$200,000? I'd believe it. It was super indie, but I enjoyed it way more than I would if Michael Bay had anything to do with it, I think.

We just had a thread on this!

Yes, great movie. Real story with sci-fi elements. It's a great gateway venture into sci-fi for the non-sci-fi fans.

Haven't seen another earth, but Moon was a pretty nicely done low-budget indie sci-fi.

I'll have to check another earth out.

I've watched this trailer like ten times because it's so good, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I might now that this thread has some positive things to say about it.

IT's so good.


SEMI-SPOILER:
The ending was a little upsetting, because it didn't satisfy my girlish need for a love story.

I thought the movie was good. Didn't love it, but was intrigued the entire time. Obviously had some questions I didn't think were answered, but as a Scifi kinda guy, it was nice to see it done in a way that isn't geeky.
