In 2012, two students, Gary and Matt, set out on their graduate thesis to prove one thing: paranormal existence is simply a figment of ones imagination. To conduct their experiment, they sent six volunteers as subjects into a notoriously haunted house in the West Bottoms area of Kansas City and recorded their every move. They hypothesized that if subjects knew the house’s history of unexplained deaths and the frequent paranormal sightings, the subjects would begin to experience “ghostly encounters.” After what started out to be a flawless experiment, things quickly started to get out of control.

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 is very interesting to me as I am interested in the Subject described in its Name. I think, those who are interested in the same Thing, will find this Movie good and positive. Of course, I can not say that the Film is 100% realistic, but at least it tries to be as realistic as it is possible for the Movie. The "Atmosphere" of the Action keeps you intrigued till the End. Not to make a Spoiler I can say only that the final Scenes of the Movie were not as I expected them to be. P. S. There is still no Movie (in the Humans' Cinema of the Year 2018) where I could find the Process of close Communications with extra terrestrial Humanoids which some of us have experienced or wished to experience. The closest I could find is the 'Arrival' Film of the Year 2016.

Area 51: Directed by Oren Peli and written by Christopher Denham and Oren PeliI have to just lay this out there for folks right off the bat. I can not stand found footage movies. That shaky cam and trying to make things realistic to make people believe that what is happening is real really make me nauseous. I get severe motion sickness from watching this type of cinema. I decided to forgoe my distaste for found footage movies because I found the idea behind this movie to be interesting. Three friends decide to sneak into Area 51 and document what they find there. Every person who is interested in aliens and UFOs know all about Area 51 and everyone wants to know what is going on there. I'm no different. I went out there to Rachel, Nevada to visit it. I got a little giddy by watching these places on the screen again. I enjoy it and I'm intrigued by it. I still have this nagging feeling though that this movie had no need to be found footage. It could have been a standard narrative and achieved far more success. When they make it into the base and the camera is still going wild, I had a difficult time determining what was happening. I wanted to know some semblance of what was happening. I wanted those moments between the friends and the woman who helps them where we learn about who they were as people. I wanted to know why they were obsessed. We never really learn much about any of them. You also find yourself asking why are they still filming when things go insane. It's the same question people ask when they watch a found footage movie. Making this a standard narrative removes that problem from the story. The ending was also blah. It has that usual bad ending that a lot of these found footage movies have and it was kinda BS. The beginning spoils this ending as well. The performances are pretty meaningless and outside of the interest in UFOs and Area 51, there's nothing to do here. It's scattered and a wasted potential. I hate to see that. I give this movie a D.

Spoiler Alert, it is a terrible movie.What a waste of an estimated $5 million dollars. Having worked in stage production and in American theater I know that there was some hard work done by the actors and the film crew. But the plot is terrible and the writing isn't much better. And the entire premise is simply ridiculous. There is no way anyone can "sneak" into Area 51. "Three young conspiracy theorists" simply walk in without anything but some cell phones. Come on a twelve year old would know to be better prepared. Jeez, next time ask one of your children to proof read the script and then listen to them! Sorry, even decent acting and a few good props will not save a bad idea.

The quick summary of this movie made it sound like a good late night horror but i was HORRIBLY MISTAKEN.The movie started out bad with the god awful graphics from the camera quality of a Razor flip phone. I would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy because it was the biggest waste of my life. The aliens sounded of a generic bear noise that you would put into a stuffed animal at Build-a-Bear workshop. The best part about the movie was when the final credits came and the fake screams could end. The end of the movie for me was spent rewinding and making fun of the poor quality of videography that was occurring in front of my eyes. If it was possible to rate this movie as a negative 5, I would. If you even debate watching this film, please do not harm your brain cells by putting them through it. The one star was given for the good laughs that it brought me. Also, Ben was hot.
