Weird film about ....? ::SPOILERS::
The jury is still out on this one. I admit, I got really, really bored at several points in the film and had to Facebook to keep from turning it off. I must also admit, though, that the final few scenes were cool and with a broad imagination could be strung together to make a speck of sense out of the whole mess that is this film. My stab at it which allows me to justify the time spent on the movie, is this;
The girl (Megan/Rachel) seems to be the adopted alien child of a military family based in the Area 51 complex in the 60's ((SIDEBAR: How dad can afford that Lincoln on a military salary with a family is beyond me)). Some (quantum?? maybe?) time travel phenomenon (probably initiated by or realized and studied by the agencies involved in the projects at Area 51) causes her to jump around in time all over the place. Also, I don't think she "wills" it. I summed it up in my head that she somehow doesn't remember anything and (again somehow) lives a life quite a distance away from Area 51 with Dylan (who seems to be with her always in time as a guardian or spy of some sort 'keeping tabs') and the two decide to take a trip across Nevada to relocate per a "new job" for Dylan as mentioned in the story ((SIDEBAR: How did Dylan gank Dad's sweet Mobeus Continental?)). I think they're all aliens (main characters) or affected by an alien encounter. Either way, many signs point to alien involvement, i.e., the snow-globe, locale, dialogue and so on. When the two stop for a burger and shake, she must trigger all the weirdness that goes on. All the "suits" seem to be "agency" types and Dylan shows up in one [suit] during the final scene with baby Meg/Rachel, which again reinforces my guardian/spy idea. Eh, that's my take anyway.
Thanks for reading my crap (after all, it was just an outlet to help me sleep after enduring this two star flicker-show for 77 minutes) and I hope I provoked some ideas of your own to the meaning of this film. Just be thankful I didn't ramble off all my ideas.... you'd still be reading!
