Who payed the critics

Crappy film

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The positives: * Had a reasonable CGI budget with some good animations and special effects. * Many hat-tips in the score to familiar sci-fi movies like 2001, Alien: Covenant and a very Star Trek-esque credits scene (cheesy, but still clever). * Gary Bates compassion for people going through difficult, unexplained and I suspect ridiculed experiences really shined. * Reviewing the chances for alien visitation and some of the science of interstellar travel was well done. * The review of the Roswell incident was very good.The negatives: * I felt the movie was about a half hour longer than it needed to be. * I felt that although the naturalism/evolution connection is obviously there for the Christian, it felt forced (like "how do we throw this in"), was introduced very early in the movie when you didn't really have a contextual anchor and distracted the viewer from the main theme of the movie (the producers would probably disagree). Sarfatti's initial scene could easily have been dropped and nothing would be lost from the overarching premise of the movie. I think this would have unnecessarily turned off a lot of secular viewers from the outset. * Some statistics were presented but I would have liked more. * It's format is not well suit for studying in a home group, and I'm not sure it's the kind of movie I'd ask a skeptic over to watch. * I left feeling I had some information, but I don't really have much in the way of tools if I came across experiencers. Although Gary's compassion comes through, you are left to pick up how you should act more-or-less by osmosis.

This thought provoking film provides in-depth research into the alien and UFO phenomenon. Though you may not agree with all of the conclusions, it is definitely worth watching. See for yourself.

Millions of people have seen UFOs and experienced strange entities, so something is going on. This film, based on a top-selling book, gives an explanation that might surprise you, but makes perfect sense. Well-know UFO researchers are highlighted and scientists explain if it is possible for extraterrestrials to fly here in hyper-drive space ships. The telling part of the movie comes from the people interviewed that have experienced these entities and what is really happening. It's definitely worth seeing and you will be thankful you did.

Unfortunately there are many people whose minds and hearts are so closed against any Christian ideas that they will not consider changing their minds or be willing to look at where the evidence actually leads. If you are one of these, then you will certainly hate this documentary. If, however, you are an honest seeker and willing to look at where the best evidence from the field of ufology is leading, then this is the best possible documentary for you to watch. If you have experienced alien abduction or know people who have- definitely watch this! Great production.
