Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
… 选觉真的太政治正确了 / 厌恶整个故事设定 / 会进化的野兽 和 会被擦掉记忆的永生人 我选前者
如果不玩弄令人作呕的政治因素以及不完全（虚假）的政治正确，可能我的评分会好高点儿，世界观还是有意思的。（开头太让人联想《云图》了）
喜欢它带来不一样的气质，但也面临着既不娱乐也不深刻，两头不着的尴尬。它最大的问题在于，永恒族和人类的联结并没有得到足够充分的描写，角色在说爱人类、对人类失望的时候，和人类的距离其实很遥远，于是任何思考都变得空洞，有种“俯视”感，最终成为进入角色的阻碍，观影中时常会感受这种别扭。就像写超人，写好克拉克肯特很重要，需要你去融入这个世界才有可能感受到它，何况这是他们最后神性/人性选择的最根本动机。影片一些细节和设定都很有值得琢磨的地方，永恒族和异常族的工具人属性以及他们身上的所承载的，其实相当具有悲剧性，但都没能能好的利用好或者更深地去触及，异常族也简单矮化成为了普通的反派，最后的落点都特别低。或许它更适合拍成剧集去更好地延伸（但不能是D+剧集）。
从选角到表演，到剧情，到高潮设计，无一不透着一股傻气，就是感觉很傻。不知道相对非主线的漫威电影，为啥找些气质和经验都不搭的人来导
抛开文本，画面的塑造还是很棒的。一种全新的视觉风格有意凸显与以往角色的不同。
有很喜欢的点也有很不喜欢的点.. mixed feeling
You and the ex-boyfriend she told u not to worry about.
以及外星更高级文明的几何，
唯独这部色调最舒服，仅仅论摄影， 对剧情之类不做评论，
非常适合在科技馆里当公教片 / 雪诺说“瑟曦我爱你” 时笑得好大声.. / 真相能让他们自由 落点很DC
本想2星，最后改1星。太弱智了。还好和大家一起吐槽看，否则我早就坚持不住了。想象力低下，强行维持这个丝毫不可信的构架，在里面使劲演啊演啊。关键几个主角的魅力值比较低，也没有演出一个让人印象深刻或者信服的角色。主要指Sersi、Ikaris。极少几个镜头稍微有点大片感。但是deviant的设置很俗很差，各种打斗也非常俗套，不知道在以往多少年的电影里出现过多少次了。
至于其他弊病就无关导演，设定本身bug太多，地外文明对人类的倾轧压根没体现出来，白左嘴炮盖过了一切。整个永恒族加起来都不如的洛基一角写得好，而《假如》里《派对雷神》那章，足以秒杀片中所有故作深沉的威严。
但后来呢，超英题材就成了XX正确的天然载体，失去了对真正宇宙和哲学的终极思考，反倒构建起了一套类似元宇宙一般的虚拟信息茧房。
真的很好看，赵婷真的很擅长拿捏细微的、作为人类的情绪和瞬间。西装革履的印度大叔念一段经给亡者超度，大力士轻巧拿起炉子里巨大的铸铁锅，女神面对镜头也紧张到满嘴车轱辘话；这些细节放到一个大闹天宫的故事里，至少我看的相当满意。
MCU最烂没有之一，以致于我要把这部片子分类到“搞笑”分类。设定与此前所有MCU电影格格不入，关键是剧情也没有足够的说服力来让观众信服，片外的其他各种政治因素都尚在其次，本片的烂跟各种正确一点关系都没有。
剪辑版。我已经放弃补漫威宇宙了。就这样吧。说不定DC也是懒得补的
6.1 很完整，但很平凡，很boring。要是没有朱莉就这几位的气质也hold不住拯救地球的身份。唯一的亮点是黑人是个lgbt，但他那一跪真扶不起来。
谁不想要Kit & Richard🙈🙊
看似涉及上下五千年的地球史，关乎人类生死存亡，实际上跟普通人的关联很少，且都属于背景板，代入感太弱了，影片大部分时候其实是永恒家族内部矛盾。
抛开文本，画面的塑造还是很棒的。一种全新的视觉风格有意凸显与以往角色的不同。
