Summary: Great Little Flick
Comment: I always think of this movie in terms of being a gentle sci fi movie. When I first saw it (in 1983) I remember that the acting seemed very natural and though it was obvious that the aliens were portrayed by children, well, that was okay, too. The music is the best, and not just the stuff by Tangerine Dream; there was a great song being played in the bar where Bobby and Iris first meet ("No More Lonely Days" was the title), and the snippets that Robert Carradine played were also fun to listen to. I'll always own a copy.

Summary: Action packed sci-fi thriller about how the aliens got away
Comment: The two lead characters, assisted by Keenan Wynn, manage to get a group of aliens out of the Los Angeles area to a remote desert location.
Along the way, the aliens see the earthly sights before finally leaving Earth.
Overall the music is excellent, the writing is fairly decent, and the acting, especially by Keenan, is terrific.
Not your typical alien movie but a good movie neverless.

Summary: Death Valley Scenery
Comment: Coincidentally I rented "Wavelength" and I purchased "Six-String Samurai" during the same week. Both movies featured lots of scenery from Death Valley and surrounding areas. While "Wavelength" emphasized Panamint Valley, "Six-String Samurai" contained many scenes that were filmed in Searles Valley. Both valleys are near Death Valley. Another interesting coincidence is that both movies feature somewhat unusual soundtracks. The soundtrack for "Wavelength" was created by Tangerine Dream and "Six-String Samurai" featured lots of surf guitar songs. I'll admit that I wasn't crazy about either soundtrack, but atleast they weren't normal, boring, typical soundtracks either. Both movies were a little quirky and both seemed to have low budgets, or atleast not the greatest production quality. On the otherhand, both movies were interesting to watch and somewhat enjoyable, but I'm not sure if I would have found them so interesting if I wasn't preoccupied with identifying the locations where various scenes were shot. So, if you enjoy interesting desert scenery, I'd recommend both movies. The last third of "Wavelength" featured lots of scenes shot in Panamint Valley and the other movie had nice shots of the Trona Pinnacles. From a plot and character perspective, I'd say that "Wavelength" was the better of the two movies although the first two-thirds of the movie was a little tedious (they should have gotten to the desert a little sooner in the movie).

Summary: E.T. Meets Reality
Comment: Of the few reviews when this movie came out, most concluded Wavelength was better than the cute E.T. I completely agree, and wonder why this movie hasn't been released on DVD. The ending, most often written about reminds us of "Starman", but that's missing the point of this movie that's really about us!

Summary: aliens trying to escape after being exiled.
Comment: i saw the movie when i was a little girl. i use to have a crush on beta! the ending was the best part however, when the alien ship comes to take them (aliens) away. oh and tangerine dream is awesome! they did a superb job setting the scenes with their melodic sounds.
