The Movie from the Future Trailers

On Oct. 14th, 1991, a videotape fell out of the sky and made a large crater in Bloomington, Minnesota. We at Amazing Schlock were fortunate enough to come into possession of that tape in 1998, and we made The Movie From the Future, a documentary about the "space-tape" and its amazing contents. The tape had apparently fallen back in time through a black hole, and on it was a movie called Daddy, I Love an Alien. The film is a fascinating look at species discrimination, robot civil rights, the war between humanity and various aliens, and, of course, love. The Movie From the Future consists of large clips of Daddy, I Love an Alien as well as informative interviews with the scientists who have made the study of the "space-tape" their life's work, as well as with those who believe that the film is a clever hoax perpetrated by desperate filmmakers. Is the film a hoax? If it's not, what can it teach us? Watch the film and decide for yourself.

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

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
