Movie Review

 

 

Ryan Masson, Highdee Kuan, and Christian Prentice feature in Eric Demeusy's American science fiction drama film Proximity. In May 2020, Proximity was made available on demand to mixed reviews from reviewers.

 

Aliens kidnap Carl, a lumberjack working in Alaska, in 1979. A computer engineer called Isaac starts a video journal in the present day after encountering an alien and a flying saucer while out on a hike in the woods. He awakens three days later next to the water. He realizes he is experiencing hallucinations. When he goes to the doctor, they find that his bone was precisely sliced and broken. He recorded the kidnapping and posted it online, where it quickly gained popularity. Isaac is questioned by the government, the news, and the media. When a young woman Sara posted a message online with a similar narrative, Isaac realized that strange traces of extraterrestrial life throughout history proved the existence of aliens. The two eventually met at a nearby diner.

 

When Isaac is requested to take a lie detector test as evidence of the kidnapping, he succeeds, and Agent Graves' Men in Black capture him as a result. Isaac refuses to participate in the government's protocol once it is discovered that Sara and Isaac are carrying an extraterrestrial tracker. Sara and Isaac manage to escape, but they are pursued by androids. They discover a hacker named Zed who assists them and discloses that he is aware of the United Nations organization responsible for the kidnapping when they realize they have been transferred to Costa Rica. Zed assists them in finding an old Carl, with whom they video chat. The group learns that in five days the aliens will arrive in British Columbia.

 

In British Columbia, Zed, Sara, and Isaac discover Carl residing in a cabin. The United Nations trackers are left with Carl for the following two days after Carl turns them off. The aliens say they are researching those who think that Jesus Christ was crucial in the formation of the cosmos when they arrive in two days. As the men in black round the cabin, they take Sara's tracker off. Agent Graves presses Carl for information on the killing of his father; when Carl refuses, he is shot with laser weapons. Sara exits the cabin and receives gunfire as well. As soon as the aliens take away Isaac's tracker, he releases his telekinetic and cryokinetic abilities, which he uses to save Zed, transport Sara, and Carl to safety, and escape while the cabin is being destroyed. Sara and Carl are saved by the aliens, and the group flies away in a flying saucer.

 

Isaac and Sara are already living a typical life in Costa Rica six months later. Agent Graves has been let go, and Zed and Carl are now in charge of a new science program.
