 Love Love Quote: Love (formerly titled I-Empire) is a science fiction film produced and scored by the alternative rock band Angels & Airwaves. The film is the directorial debut of filmmaker William Eubank. The film's world-premiere took place on February 2, 2011 at the 26th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival and the film was later featured in both the Seattle International Film Festival and FanTasia 2011 in Montreal. The film will be released in 450 select theatres nationwide on August 10, 2011.
Love portrays the personal-psychological effects of isolation and loneliness when an astronaut becomes stranded in space and through this, emphasizes the importance of human connection and love. Additionally, it touches on the fragility of mankind's existence (explored through a dying Earth-apocalyptic doomsday scenario) inspired by the cautions of Carl Sagan in Pale Blue Dot and considers the importance of memories and stories as humanity's legacy.

Re: Love It's essentially a cheap 2001 rip-off, with hints of Moon and Solaris, plus an occasional Malickian voiceover, and thus it never overcomes its surface features and becomes something interesting or even memorable. A shame, because it's reasonably well-directed and the effects are pretty impressive, considering the budget; too bad they couldn't actually do anything with it. Plus there's an inexplicable Civil War prologue, and some fairly awful talking head interviews sprinkled throughout - ostensibly to break the monotony of the central narrative - that seem to have no real purpose at all. By the time the incomprehensible finale rolls around (apparently tying everything together), you're just wishing for it to end.
I guess the "ANGELS & AIRWAVES PRESENT" credit should've warned me, even though their score is suitably moody and atmospheric.
