I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
I did not know about the crowd-funding for this film. It is definitely a shame that so many people who "backed" this project are bitter about the outcome and have given the documentary bad ratings. I don't understand why people are so surprised when they have to pay a small amount for a worthwhile cause that they wanted to promote in the first place.When I first saw the film listed on Netflix, I thought it might be like one of those "found footage" type fake documentaries because the premise seemed so outlandish. After reading a little more I realized that this was meant to be a serious documentary so I watched it. I think the real subject is Dr. Greer himself and his quest and not whether we have been visited by UFOs/aliens. There was an emotional undercurrent running throughout the film that may have turned off some viewers expecting cold, hard facts. But the "human" element in this documentary attracted me to it. There is such a glut of info out there on the subject of UFOs, much of it contradictory. Trying to pull it together and have it make sense for an hour and a half film would only result in a confusing, superficial mess. Each one of Dr. Greer's informants/collaborators could themselves be the subjects of a full length documentary, not to mention the tiny alien mummy.That leads to my one criticism of the film: The 6-inch alien, initially presented as the focus of the documentary, was actually peripheral to the main subject of the film. I think this probably should not have been included and instead be made the subject of its own full length documentary. The doctor doing the DNA testing did not conclusively say that this creature was human. What he did say was that the mitochondrial DNA (from the mother) was human. The rest of the DNA was unusual and did not account for any of the strange features of the being including the elongated cranium, the facial structure, the number of ribs and the extremely small stature. He said he was going to continue to study it. He also admitted that there were other things he wanted to say but couldn't for fear that he would be laughed at by his colleagues. More reason to believe that there is something very unusual in the makeup of the little creature.This film didn't claim to answer all the unanswered questions on the subject of UFOs but instead focused on Dr. Greer and his efforts to create a dialog with extraterrestrial beings and his attempt to enlighten those in the government about the cover-ups, secrecy, misinformation, and murders perpetrated by unknown persons who operate outside of any known organization. His methods are grounded in Eastern philosophy and Buddhism and combine the spiritual with the scientific. That in itself would probably make some people uncomfortable with the documentary and the information presented. We have been taught to believe that science and spirituality are diametrically opposed. Science is objective and based on observation and data while spirituality is subjective, faith based and therefore flawed. It reminds me of how Star Trek's Mr. Spock relied entirely on science and logic. Time and again, humans proved to him that faith and "feelings" have a part to play in every equation.
I am undecided about weather we have ever been visited by extraterrestrials. Without hard evidence I lean toward NO. However, I do not discount strange phenomena in the skies. There are reputable people who have attested to this and documentaries that are extremely convincing. Most ufo sightings are a hoax or have some other reasonable explanation. There are a few though that defy conventional wisdom. The nutjob says they are space aliens and then contrives a whole network of lies and half truths to support his delusions. The objective seeker continues his search for hard evidence. This documentary has zero hard evidence. In fact, it is the worst UFO documentary I have yet to come across. In the very opening they use the most obvious fake UFO sighting in recent years to build up the documentaries proof. You will remember this as the jerusalem UFO sighting. It is an admitted hoax. There are far better documentaries on this subject. Almost none of them are objective. They all come at you from a believers point of view, but at least they are compelling and often convincing. Avoid this sloppy propaganda infomercial attempt. When are these idiot going to learn that you cannot get away with this in the information age. If you must watch then download it from a torrent site.
I'll start off by saying, I was a little disappointed reading the other reviews who gave the movie really bad scores. I'm guessing it's because they thought the film was going to promise them something, but it didn't and they got disappointed, or they completely missed the message.I'll be honest this movie is not meant for people without an open mind or should I say, "not ready" for certain issues, but it's alright, because extreme issues are not meant to be easily understood and readily accepted by the public, if it were, then talking about UFO and ETs would not be such controversial topics.Also, if you fall in the category of being those who have not done their homework enough to pick up a little of the truth, on UFO, Aliens, Dr. Greer, or is still unsure whether or not these things exist, well, this movie will be hard to believe, or more like bogus to you. No, shall I say all of it will bogus. So then you may ask, what's the point of watching then? well, either skip the movie or watch this movie for fun instead, I'm sure you'll get great laughs out of it -- because one of the fundamental topics are on UFO and ETs.However, for the people and reviewers who keep saying this film was funded by the people and therefore should be free for the people, it's rather a naive question to ask if you understand how business works because here's no way around it. In Dr. Greer's opinion, yes it should be free, however when he has to work with film producers, we all know that money is no question needed to run these movie business. No one work on a painstakingly long documentary video, release it in theaters, promote hundreds of ads, and say I'll do it all for free? It's a no brainer. There is nothing Greer can do about it making this video free, unless he was skilled enough to filmed everything himself and paid for all the expenses. Besides, Greer doesn't get any money out of this film, all the money will be going toward building the laboratories.Now for those who can carry an open mind, considering the extreme topics that will be discuss in this video... well be warned, because you are about to learn what many would call the "TRUTH" (or however you want to call it) if not already, and in many ways that would be hard to comprehend. This movie is not meant to convince or make you believe UFO or Aliens exist. It goes by far beyond these topics touching base on our energy systems and a quick introduction to the industrial military complex.All I have to say is, keep an open mind, watch this movie, and when the time comes you'll be thankful for all those people who've been ridiculed and have risked their lives so many times over trying to reveal the truth and change our world for the better. Lastly, the story in this very video can relate back to a time when people said the earth was flat or the sun revolved around the earth.
So from the get go the film is an entire paradox of what it was initially made for, and that is: 1)All information should be freely available to the public & 2)The media is distorting the minds of people so they will believe their supposed lies & 3) Aliens exist and we have evidence. In relation to the first message they ask you to buy the film or rent it which makes this information not free at all, shattering number one before you even start the movie.For number 2 since this is a documentary they of course are doing everything they can to get the viewer to believe them even if it means plowing over simple facts, logic, and basic human psychology. They indeed commit what they accuse the media of doing: Persuasion by fact distortion. And number 3; who knows if what they are saying is really true about some alien they found because by the end of the movie their conclusion is inconclusive as well. But over all if you love the UFO conspiracy as much as I do this is a great film to watch!
