The Visit Movie Trailer, Michael Madsen

We’ve seen plenty of movies that offer a take on what it would (will?) be like when aliens from another world decide to pay our humble little species a visit one day. They come in many forms; some of them are action-packed Hollywood blockbuster types, some are over-the-top, some are terrifying.

The Visit from director Michael Madsen (no, not that one) presents the scenario in a much more realistic way. Precautions are taken, questions are asked, so on and so forth. Madsen, a Danish documentary filmmaker (Into Eternity: A Film for the Future), shot the movie in a similar style due to its coverage of “an event that has never taken place.”

To be honest I don’t really know what’s going on in this trailer, but it sure does look interesting. You can read a synopsis and see the trailer and a poster for The Visit below.

SYNOPSIS:

“This film documents an event that has never taken place – man’s first encounter with intelligent life from space”, but ever since the invention of radio, humans have been sending signals into space, announcing their existence to other civilizations. With unprecedented access to the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, the military, and experts from leading space agencies, the film explores a first contact scenario, beginning with the simplest of questions: Why are you here? How do you think? What do you see in humans that we don’t see in ourselves?

A journey beyond a terrestrial perspective, revealing the fears, hopes, and rituals of a species forced not only to confront alien life forms, but also its own self image.

World Premiere at Sundance Filmfestival 2015.
