Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Three young misfits venture into the Australian outback to find what they believe is a meteorite that has crash landed near their country town, only to discover it's something far more mysterious. Down To Earth by Nick Crowhurst Connect with the Filmmaker: More About Down To Earth: Alex is a typical shy teenager crushing hard on his space obsessed next-door neighbour, Stacey. Despite the elaborate efforts to attract her attention, often with the misguided help of his doofus of a best friend, Eddie, Stacey barely notices him. This all changes when a meteorite crash lands on the outskirts of their small Australian country town. Seeing it an opportunity to get closer to Stacey, Alex proposes the three of them try and find it. Armed with a map, some walkie talkies and, in Eddie’s case, ample snacks, the three venture off into the outback. As the sun sets and with Eddie slowing them down, their chances of finding the meteorite quickly fades, until they stumble across a smoking barn and inside discover something out of this world!

Im a tad confused about what happened inside the barn, when confronted by the two hostile aliens, the one points his claw menacingly, at the boy, and instead of getting attacked, he got slimmed. The aliens dissapear, she practically is sitting on his lap, giving him a big slimy hug. They're laughing. Scene cuts to them looking at the night sky and see hundreds of pods. There not at all worried, and even laugh and joke around with one another. anybody understand what the hell is going on at the end

spielberg E. T vibes with the bikeride over there. nice and light hearted. i liked the soundtrack. only thing i didnt like was the alien-too many lizard faced humanoid shaped aliens-we need to be more imaginative when creating extra terrestrial lifeforms from other exoplanet star systems. i liked the ending with the meteroite shower like invasion.

great film I was that age in the 80s 90s what a time to grow up compared to kids today. I miss those days when crazy communications was just a fantasy no computers no cell phones no internet. it was a magnificent time to be alive. some how all this advancement has cheapened the childhood experience.
reply

Pretty good, kids were decent, the alien part was a little, meh. Seems implausible the girl would happen to pick up their weapon’ & had to watch twice to even realize she shot’ the alien. Love to see the Australian back drop though.
reply

Nice concept except you'd think that if an object coming down to Earth would have been spotted by NASA and the Government first who would rush people to the crash site to investigate before the kids got there.
reply

Well this can go so many ways.
With the meteor shower bringing more aliens to the planet Earth,
Our 3 fearless friends can save the entire planet Earth.
Stay tuned.

Fun film! I love the 80's sound track theme mixed with the instrumental innuendos. It's very playful and mysterious with a bit of Goonies adventure swirled in. Well done, bravo.
reply

80's. check; cool synth. check; not woke. check; better acting than most series. check; Aussie touch. check. Web series NOW (pretty please with sugar on the top!

Dude, this would make an AMAZING video game, in like the style of Generation Zero with the whole Stranger Things 80s aesthetic. Tell me I'm wrong. Lol.
reply

I really liked this flic. Youngsters did a really good job. The only part that needs to be improved is the alien sequence. Looking forward to your next film.
reply

This is a fun coming of age story. It's always good to leave the audience wanting more and you did that superbly. Bravo! I can't wait to see more!

The town of Echunga. Wow nearly dropped dead when I saw that. Brought up there 30 years ago. I guess now it doesn't exist anymore.
reply

This is great my only gripe is the reptilian is a little too primitive acting I’d think they’d fight a little sophisticatedly
reply

1970's teenagers. Modern teens would demand their parents give them a ride. or they'd just be sitting looking at their cell phones.
reply

A very horrible version of stranger things.
Whoever wrote this. get better materials. because i dont wanna say get another hobby.

reply

Darn. I was kinda hoping it would be Jeice and Burter visiting from Space Australia.
Anyhow, this was a great video. Thanks!

reply

I enjoyed this film, it was fun and showed how entertaining a good story can be without focusing on special effects and cgi
reply

Like a cross between Stranger Things and Independence Day. It definitely deserves a full-length feature film.
reply

Good ole Spyder bicycles. I put many miles on mine seeking adventure. I had to be home by dark though and no aliens.
reply

Great short film! And she even hugged him while he was all covered in alien! That's love right there!
reply

Really well done. You get what they were shooting for, and that is fun. 80's flashback with a twist.
reply

I thought this was great I think it'd be good if it could be a whole movie at least an hour long
reply

If you end up in the upside-down in Australia. are you in the rightside-up
Stranger, Stranger Things.

reply

This is what happens when you desperately waiting for that new season of stranger things.
reply

I really liked this one. It had a 80's or early 90's vibe. This could have been a movie.
reply

Good work. Reminds me of my childhood. Grains of a larger feature here if you wanted.
reply

Under 10 minutes, and I am massively invested in these characters! I want MORE!
reply

BMX Bandits ain't got $#! on these kids! Extremely well done. I dig it.
reply

Unusually a short film with character development and a story. Well done
reply

Shamelessly copied from Stranger Things, and they all have british accents.
reply

great beginning for a movie ' even though i'm sure it's been done!
reply

Loved all the props, but especially liked seeing the Usborne book.
reply

man that was cheesy reminds me of the vids back in the 80s
