Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

At the end of the movie when Kimberly tells Dell she's pregnant, and we know they aren't getting back together; I thought for sure Dell would jump over the rail and kill himself. That would have been quite shocking and more enjoyable cuz we wouldn't have to listen to him utter one more syllable. Instead, we get a big question mark with an open for interpretation ending.

Do not listen to the critic reviews. I thought this movie was very well done. With some cheesiness, yes. But overall, it's great. Anyone who's ever been through a breakup from a long lasting relation can relate to this movie. Especially if you feel things were never resolved or that you're still in love with that person and trying to get them back. Love is intense. Sometimes it's best to let it go, and other times, it's okay to hold on. Just understand that it can hurt you. And this movie shows just that. It tapped into a vein for me. And I will tell you, first and foremost: the score is EVERYTHING for this movie. Daniel Hart did an amazing job. Scores for me make or break a movie. Even if the entire movie has amazing music; if the song they choose to end it on is horrendous, it really ruins it for me. So, BRAVO, Daniel Hart. Justin Long and Emmy Rossum did an amazing and believable job with their chemistry in the movie. It made it hit so much more close to home. I really enjoyed the believable fighting and the lovable scenes between them both. I loved the characters they played. I'm a cynic, so I really loved Justin Long's role. Just stick close to the movie so you understand that it's back and forth throughout their relationship. It's not hard to follow. Parallel universes for me are so intriguing. And it helped me write some lines for my wedding vow to my fiancé. Excellent film, and very well made.

In life and in love, people often ponder the moments in their lives they attribute to being transformational. The moments we feel define and alter our path in this world. Comet captures these moments in Dell and Kimberly's lives, showing us the genuine emotion they felt as these moments unfolded. It leaves countless unanswered questions—allowing the audience to surmise the trajectory. From the opening scene in which Kimberley "pushes" Dell out of the way of an oncoming car, the audience is sent on a deliberate exploration of what could have happened in this couple's story. All entirely dependent upon how they lived out these moments and how the audience chooses to interpret the reality of those scenes. If you're looking for definite answers in a movie you will be astoundingly unsatisfied. This story will challenge many preconceived notions of these same moments in your own life. Perhaps serving, for some, as a paradigm shifting moment in your introspective mind.

Whatever one was to say about this ambitious and often highly effective indie Sci-Fi/Romance, there's little doubting that Comet is one of the most visually striking and uniquely crafted films of recent memory and a hugely effective calling card for first time director and boyfriend of Emmy Rossum, Sam Esmail.While it would take some time to discover all the nuances and narrative conundrums of this original journey, Esmail's directional eye and way with words is something to behold, no better magnified by the fact that Comet really is a 90 minute conversation driven piece that is not dissimilar to a Woody Allen or Noah Baumbach film. From emotionally charged scenarios through to comical situations, Comet often masters a raft of different genres and it's musings on life, love and the plausibility of parallel dimensions is balanced to wonderful effect by Esmail. The film, as mentioned, carries a fantastically appealing visual flair, from strange framing, beautiful lighting and nice visual ticks Comet looks a treat, even more so when considering its low end budget.It's refreshing to see a filmmaker utilise the tools at his disposable and all the good work Esmail does with his screenplay and directional style would've come to naught had he struck out with his main actors but thankfully you'll find here arguably career best turns from Justin Long and Emmy Rossum. If Long's Dell and Rossum's Kimberly had failed to create a chemistry led spark, Comet would've been an exercise in artistic frustration but in these two relatable and often impressively created characters we have two humans that we can both relate to, enjoy and even dislike. It's a testament that both these actors keep the films narrative intact, even when things seem to be gathering steam towards an incomprehensible whole. With these two young actors at centre stage, Comet really becomes a memorable experience.Comet is enjoyable, moving and original and while not everything works completely within this high reaching dialogue driven outing, there is enough that clicks to make it one of the most accomplished directional debuts and romantically tinged movies of recent years. Something akin to a less whimsical 500 Days of Summer, come the films quietly beautiful finale, Comet is a film sure to impress all those who enjoy wordy and brain scratching character studies.3 1/2 Chinese food orders out of 5
