The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

First off several times the background music was so distracting ( like nails on a chalkboard). I ended up muting it then put the closed captions on - it was difficult to hear any dialogue. Why wasn't there an aerial view of the crop circle created by the Nat Geo people?Also, after the guy had a dream about a crop circle appearing in a specific area-they CLAIM that one appears in the exact location in his dream, really?!? Also, all the stuff about the nodes could have been staged. Seems like their need is so great to see a crop circle that they will just make it happen. And perhaps the circle took more than one night to appear?If nothing else was accomplished by this film at least Charlie came out of the closet to his folks. Ha ha

This is one of the greatest mockumentaries I've ever watched. When you watch the film, you can easily understand that Charles Maxwell built a story on people's most extreme beliefs. It's enough just to look deeply in the dialogues and characters to see this movie is a mock.The inventor, the hoaxer, the producer... They all make fun of people who see this movie as a real documentary.Let me give you an example. The inventor of the machine is a real freak (by "freak" I mean it is a fictional fun character) and he just invents a device from the crop circles. There is no scientific source for the device they are talking about. It's just a simple mock. This is a speech from the producer of the film: "I mean, it was a matter of life and death. They were convinced, you know, that they could be killed for trying to create this free- energy device, right? That big oil was somehow gonna send commandoes, you know, um, through the windows with machine guns and..."I guess they all tell us the story about this movie.Great mockumentary!

Great effort trying to show what might be behind the circles that appear on the fields near a small pyramid at the south of England. Thanks to this documentary I could come up with the answer. It's my perception. The circles are done by the planet itself, by mother earth herself and she is showing that the gadget we have to create, cultivate and take care of is ourselves. You can see the figure of a human being in the figures appearing on the fields. The energy they are talking about is in this precious machine already built called human being. The answer is in ourselves not outside. A human being is rounded, when sitting down in meditation position, he becomes a pyramid with six circles showing eternity, no limitations, no laws. Thank you for this documentary and for showing that the most important was the people involved in it and the transformation Nikola had is important to the extent the others respected and accepted that transformation. It is time to cultivate ourselves to get to extend ourselves to maturity.

Here on IMDb this movie has a 6.1 rating out of 44 users. On Netflix, it has less than 3 stars. This film deserves much more, and you must know that going into it, because crop circles have never held particular fascination to me, but the subject matter is the foundation for a movie that shifts and grows throughout into so much more. It is multi- dimensional, and the people appearing in it are treated with a positive and light-hearted touch that goes beyond your personal beliefs about aliens and crop circles. It's funny at times, and while they do poke fun at some of the people in the film, they do it to themselves as well. It's not meant to change your specific views regarding the extraterrestrial, but to encourage you to see what great potential can come from the work and care you put into whatever drives you, regardless of what others believe is possible.
