QUICK TAKE:
Sci-Fi: A computer engineer must contend with the fallout once he reveals that he was abducted by extraterrestrials.
PLOT:

Isaac Cypress (RYAN MASSON) works as a computer engineer for NASA's JPL division. One day while out hiking in the wilderness just outside of Los Angeles, he spots an alien spacecraft and then an extraterrestrial behind before losing consciousness. Three days later he wakes up in a different location but realizes he got footage of the alien as well as being lifted into the air.

When he posts that online, it gets him attention, but most of that quickly turns negative. He then seeks out both more information on such abductions as well as those who've likewise been taken and ends up meeting Sara (HIGHDEE KUAN). She mentions to him a man named Carl Miesner (DON SCRIBNER) who was similarly abducted back in the late 1970s, briefly returned, but hasn't been seen since.

Isaac's public sharing of his encounter eventually draws the interest of agents from an international government agency led by Agent Graves (SHAW JONES). They end up abducting Isaac and Sara who manage to escape the facility, only to learn they're now in Costa Rica. Seeking out the help of the only local guy with an Internet connection, hacker Zed (CHRISTIAN PRENTICE), Isaac hopes to use him to find Carl who might have an answer about what's really happening.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
The alien abduction angle might entice some, but we don't see this as being on the radar of most kids.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: Not Rated
It's the equivalent of PG-13 for some violence.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
