Comet

About This Movie

So, 'Comet' from 1984 is this intriguing little gem in the sci-fi genre, set against the backdrop of a bustling coastal town in summer. You really feel the heat and chaos of the beach life, it's almost suffocating. The premise, where a group of filmmakers sets up shop with a fake bank and a ship, is kind of bizarre but it works. The pacing has a certain ebb and flow, almost like the tides, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a charm to them. There's a sense of impending doom as the comet rumor spreads, and you can’t help but get caught up in the atmosphere. The performances are all over the map, but they add to the quirky vibe of the film. It’s a curious watch, for sure.
