Let's be realistic.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

A wonderful and peculiarly disturbing movie, with Baldwin's patented quick cuts, pop culture mashup, and political commentary filtered through a science-fiction conceit that has achieved a grotesque and influential life in the real world. By the end, the viewer's head is spinning and laughter is undercut with questions of just what one does and doesn't know about the history of our time. A spin on conspiracy theory thinking that has evidently spawned its owned flock of conspiracy theories.Hasn't anyone yet shown that this was the inspiration for David Icke's insane second career?

I wish I had not even rented this from Netflix.The on-screen quality of the video is bad: in other words, it's like (and may well be) a DVD copy of a video of a video.I guess there's an element of being a spoof to consider, but it is so infantile, and so USA centric, that it does not qualify as reasonable joke about documentaries and conspiracy theories.It is not even worth viewing to see how bad it is.It blends minor true facts (such as the Secretary of Defense Forrestal committing suicide) and outright garbage (such as a sister planet of Earth being on the other side of the sun 1,000 years ago) to make a paranoid person's idea of likelihood (as Judy Tenuta would say: "It could happen")

Craig Baldwins's found footage montage about the history of mankind and the evil aliens that haunt us. It's a straight faced pseudo-documentary that is a dead on send up of the UFO films of the 70's and 80's and of some of the alleged belief's of the Church of Scientology . It completely shreds your ideas about what is history and how we know what s real and what isn't simply because it makes its case so convincingly that if you didn't know any better you could actually believe it. Certainly it makes its claims in a more convincing way than many news programs. If you want to disappear for 45 minutes into a different mind set or want to see a really good science fiction tale give this a shot

Directed by Craig Baldwin (Negativland's "Sonic Outlaws"), Trib99 offers a Grand Unified Theory of Conspiracies including Castro, Kennedy, the wolf man, killer bees, the Panama Canal, and the United Fruit Company. As with any good conspiracy theory a surprising amount of the information is 100% fact with a small amount of completely unverifiable speculation to tie it together. Assembled completely from stock footage.
