Another Monday, another early trip to the VA Medical Center for blood work. Unfortunately, that is part of the new normal after receiving the love translated. At least, or weather isn't that bad, so the drive isn't all that bad. Knowing I had that this morning, I wanted to watch something something mellow last night, so I decided on the 2019 Sci-Fi mystery The Vast of Night.
Plot: In New Mexico in the 1950s, two kids search for the source of a mysterious frequency that has descended on their town; they soon uncover more than they had counted on.
I love movies that transport you to another time, and this one did just TV that. Another slow-burn, this Sci-Fi mystery drama came off as almost a modern episode of the Twilight Zone or Night Gallery. The plot and storyline were solid, the performances believable, and the overall quality was outstanding. Yes, the movie could have been a little longer and a bit more captivating, but those are but minor flaws in what is a low budget gem. This one was well worth watching and satisfied my evenings desires. Unfortunately, it won't be for everyone (especially those looking for action and adrenaline), but if you love an interesting story with Sci-Fi and mystery themes, this one is for you.
