They came for our love
18 September 2023
I watched this movie because I thought the premise was interesting, and this movie was based on a book with the same name by M. T. Anderson, a book I have not read but the movie makes me intrigued to read it. The movie Landscape with Invisible Hand (2023) was not bad, though it can be slow, it can be investing with its plot involving how an alien race's rule over Earth can affect it. Good acting, favorable effects for the aliens, little funny moments, and the movie can be weird from time to time.

The acting in the movie is good especially the main character Adam played by Asante Blackk and Adam's mom played by Tiffany Haddish who are the best part of the movie, being invested in the characters and getting behind the characters in certain scenes. The other characters in the movie are not that interesting, other than Adam Campbell being a skilled artist dealing with the changes to his world from the alien race and Adam's mom Beth Campbell is trying to get a job while dealing with what has been happening with her husband and what is happening to the world.

The alien race called the Vuvv has a clever design with an interesting way in communicating in their own interesting language; the way they affect Earth with some kind of bureaucratic rule and advanced technology was interesting with-it having an intriguing look to the movie, even when you see the main ship of the alien race. The movie has moments that I was confused about occasionally, and the movie has a lot of weird moments too, while also having some effective emotional moments that you might not notice because of how the movie can feel slow at times, but it did not bother that much as it could have.

Landscape with Invisible Hand (2023) was not bad having good acting, favorable effects for the aliens, the movie being weird from time to time, an interesting premise, a unique alien race for the movie, little funny moments, but also some effective emotional moments. I do think there will be a lot of people who will be divisive with this movie considering this movie is not for everyone, though it is not rewatchable, I would suggest giving it at least one watch to see if you will like it or not.
