Good-looking and technically well crafted, the film struggles to get past pastiche and conjure an involving world of its own.
The script is sadly too shallow to bring everything together.

A tale of alien abduction, Proxmity serves as an in-and-out impressive calling card for debuting feature writer and director Eric Demeusy.
This dorky, silly sci-fi feature offers a weird blend of high-grade craftsmanship (especially from the visual effects, cinematography and music departments), and guileless ineptitude, especially in the crucial realms of screenwriting, acting and editing.
But this clunky movie is more fun to play the “Wait, why?” game with than to actually watch.
Proximity is a sympathetic teen flick fiction movie. The story is good until 2/3 of the movie. Then you fall into androids, religious motive and super heroes kind of powers. The FX are really good for such a small budget movie. The soundtrack is kind of teen related audience and sometimes distracting. The acting is unequal. I am unsure about the casting, some are pretty good, some barely on the line. The ending was a mix bag. I really hated the religious aspect of it, but I like the other stuff. I don't think the ending is any justification for Alien's presence. It's just too stupid to swallow for any intelligent audience. I give it 52% because some actors were pretty good in it. The ending can be deceiving but the rest of the movie is acceptable.

Proximity begins as an interesting low-budget sci-fi movie. Then the script begins to overlook the world around it and its rules. After that, a complete crack begins with theft and struggle with whom it is not clear and why. And looking at it is already painful. Another person shot this, and for some reason I am ashamed of the viewer. The end of the film is so generally one of the dumbest scenes. Utter disappointment.
