This movie made no sense whatsoever. None. My only thought watching it was "What is this? I don't even... Is that David Bowie's wang?!" And yes, yes, it was.
This cannot be unseen.
Bowie is an alien from a planet that has no water. He patents some technology, starts some companies, and raises a shit-ton of money to build a spaceship so he can go back to his planet.
That is what it says on the back of the Netflix sleeve.
The only way you can tell how much time is passing is by the aging make-up. Normally, that wouldn't be such a big deal but it seems like characters age 20 or 30 years in the space of a single conversation. Not to mention the bizarre "capture" sequence when, right on the cusp of going home, Bowie gets ganked by his chauffeur and experimented on by random fucking doctors for no apparent reason since nobody knows he's an alien except for his girlfriend and one of the scientists he has building his spaceship (played by Rip Torn, which makes his involvement in the Men in Black franchise make total sense now. Also, they were spot-on with the aging.) So one of the two had to have ratted him out but the movie just kind of ignores this.
I don't know. This movie was bizarre and full of Do Not Want. I can only assume Bowie was paid in cocaine and Beefeaters.
