“The problem with Nacho Vigalondo’s sophomore feature, Extraterrestrial, is that it’s a bit of a one trick pony. The follow up to his successful first feature, Time Crimes (2007), offers a similar scenario of characters involved in strange scenarios and the bemused way they go about adjusting themselves to their surroundings. On this outing, Vigalondo goes for a comedy of errors scenario dressed in the exhausted “aliens landing in the neighborhood” routine.”
