I liked it. I thout it wuz a kool idea to hav this syfy element thats mostly a backdrop for much uv the story, yet endz up az the driving factor.

My complaints - no mention uv the fact that everybody iz about to die wen the planets collide. Admittedly, my astrofiziks iznt perfect & complete, but the basic premise seemz to require that both Earths are in the same orbit on the same plane, otherwize they woud be moving at substantially different speedz and thus we woud hav seen each other regularly thruout history.

This leadz to the second complaint. Why are they approaching each other now? Having a second Earth sitting on the oppozit side uv the sun for billionz uv yirz and suddenly its on the same side and getting vizably closer over a handful uv yirz requirez a major cozmic event. Inertia and gravity hav their little rulez everybody haz to follow.

I suppoze it coud be explained and a collision or a too close approach (also meanz doomzday) coud be avoided, but they didnt bother.

First off, Citizen Kane is a great film, so you are a rube.

Second, Deep Space 9 was the best of the Trek series, so your dad is also a rube.

I don't think it matters much if Another Earth is an SF film or not, because the story could have eliminated that aspect and the point would still come across.
