Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This movie had potential but it's tone and storytelling fell short. Most times it was uncomfortable and awkward to watch.The premise is creative and sure to capture people's interests. "An Alien that discovers and falls in love with music? Sounds Great!" Yes it does sound great, the first 10 minutes of the movie was great! Alas 10 minutes later the movie plateaus into a state of a lackluster wasteland.The main character, General Trius, acts as if he is a student giving an enthusiastic presentation to the class, or in this case, the audience. He gives a straight face no matter what he says nor what he does.Another problem with a character: the love interest of a character seems as if she felt uncomfortable in any intimate scene. Whether it be dancing or kissing, she looked as if she was like "nope, nope, nope."The tone of the movie was out of control and not consistent at all. Ha, better yet, non-existent. In a scene where everything was set to make it seem like a magical moment, instead was a serious moment! AHA FOOLED YOU! The movie did not follow through with its excellent premise. It was emotionally confusing, awkward, but it was kinda cute. Well after the movie, you will have a few things to take away: cool space outfits, folk music, and a red forehead from facepalming.

This movie shows what can be done with what is likely a bare-bones budget.Humorous, intelligent, metaphorical, this movie addresses, as all movies should, aspects of the human condition. The movie itself is well done and clearly done with very meager resources, but it touches on important parts of what makes humankind human, in particular humankind's ability to make music. Good sound track that may feature the actors themselves - I have not checked.Instead of the unbelievable sums of money spent on what is utter dross, a characteristic of all major movie studios/distributors in the USA, those same studios might fund or partially fund, in addition to distributing, gems such as this movie that are quirky, yet very well- done. This movie is not only entertaining, but it remarkably provokes, as all good art should, thinking in the viewer's mind about what it means to be a human being on the planet that humans call Earth.

This is a charming little indie feature about the two human look like aliens from the planet Hondo. They sent on the mission to find an alternate home to quit from their dying planet. But soon they fall in love with the greatest human invention, music. They forget about what they have come and adopt the Earth's atmosphere and human life style.Definitely a low budget movie and sometime scenes with no logic. A perfect entertainer to someone who familiar with a B movie. They used a minimal quantity of tools like cast, graphics and the locations including simple costumes but there were no limitation of the imagination. It is not suitable for who always look for a perfect sense, other than that it is very enjoyable.The movie was short and sweet . No surprise twists, the end was very plain but somehow it satisfies. As I said 'The History of Future Folk' is not a crowd puller, there are few people who know well second stream movies will enjoy it.7/10

This was one of those "Never heard of it" gambles that paid off. The musical bits were light-hearted and whimsical. The story was very unique, especially the part about the aliens' reaction to earth music. There was also some subtle social commentary about us earthlings. I especially liked the intermixed fight/dance scene. The second alien stole every one of his scenes. His mannerisms and body language always brought a chuckle.Although this was a low-budget movie, the overall effect was very professional. I'm going to have to get me a red jumpsuit and bucket helmet. I hope you enjoy this fun little movie as much as my wife and I did.
