The Vast of Night initially looks like it’ll be a cute story that is more suited in The Twilight Zone or you may think it’s going to be yet another retelling of the Roswell story. However, it brings something deeper and more enthralling.
Why The Vast of Night is one of the best movies on Prime
The movie isn’t afraid to get back to the basics of science fiction. It focuses on some old school techniques and storylines that have been long forgotten—or maybe avoided to bring in the high-tech graphical storylines. There’s a heart to this tale that has long been underused in storytelling. Honestly, if you love the heartfelt nature of Tales from the Loop, The Vast of Night is something to give a chance.
It’s Andrew Patterson’s feature debut as a director, but that’s not something you’ll notice. This is a man who has captured moments exquisitely, bringing the tale to life through beautiful shots, excellent storytelling, and relevant themes. There’s an intimacy to the tale that doesn’t usually make it to science fiction movies.
Even if you’re not a fan of sci-fi or alien-type stories (and I admit that I’m not), this is one you need to check out. You won’t be disappointed, and that’s why it definitely deserves a place on this list.
While there isn’t an audience consensus at the time of writing this, the critical score on Rotten Tomatoes is an excellent 92%. It’s also Certified Fresh.
