Don't bother. "Written, produced, directed by" same person.
Amateurish production, mostly shot in a hotel conference room posing as a 'bunker'. Premise (title) was intriguing, but ended there. Just a wannabe knockoff of "Contact", sort of. But it nicely gives a nod to Carl Sagan. Actors' dialogue was so wooden and unnatural - there was absolutely no overlapping dialogue... Kind of like Lego people that just sit in their place for over an hour and speak on cue when the director points a finger at them.

Intriguing film title. It all ends there.
The only impressive thing about this film was...
The only impressive thing about this "film" was how they managed to get so many obviously fake positive reviews. To even give this one star was generous. I was once again duped into watching this as the result of the supposedly high scores this steaming log of dung obtained.
All this film consisted of was a bunch of wooden inept "actors" talking to each other. That wouldn't have been THAT unforgiveable if it wasn't for the fact that the dialogue was so unengaging and devoid of thought-provoking ideas.
Now I'm not one to slam a heavily dialogue-based movie, but in order for it to pass, it would HAVE to be interesting and/or original enough to keep its audience's attention. 'First Signal' does NOTHING of the sort.
A dialogue-heavy film that does it right is Pontypool. Similar to 'First Signal', Pontypool was mostly dialogue sci-fi/horror flick that was set in one location, but it was so damned interesting and original, it kept me glued to my seat throughout. To those who read this: watch this film only if you find amusement by watching paint dry. Don't listen to the false high reviews. You have been warned!
OMG, terrible & wooden
I give most movies a chance, and have liked what others found really bad, but this one was truly terrible. Only made it part way into it and had to shut it off. You know those boring training classes you have to endure at work, where you have to perform stupid skits with wooden dialog and acting read off a card? Yeah, that's oscar worthy compared to this. Really, the president travels without security, and gets briefings in a third rate conference room with plastic tables? And along those lines, we're suppose to believe this inarticulate woman, who can't even speak convincingly, and wears no identifiable US pin or badge, is supposed to have earned the highest office on the planet. I'm sorry, but it's even too much of a stretch for me. Truly god-awful!
