It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
This is the worst attempt at an alien interview I have ever seen... The creature looks totally fake even in the poor lighting conditions it's filmed in. "Victor" answers no questions relevant to the authenticity of the tape or the filming, he even attempts to cover up the pitiful attempt of the "medics" tending to the creature. The movements of the creature indicate a hand puppet or a head-mounted mask. The medics have no idea what they are doing - Victor goes on to say they are selected for their ability to keep secrets rather than their expertise - Well you would hope that's the case cos these guys clearly have absolutely no expertise and tend to the creature in the manner of a butcher in an abertoire. As a creature sensitive to light I'm sure it would not appreciate having bright lights shining directly into it's eyeballs. Altogether this production is very cheap and disappointing..
Even though everything about this show is absurd, I still find it funny as hell. I like watching these shows from time to time just to see how people can ignore reality: 1) Why do aliens from a different galaxy or universe than ours and selective pressures look more like us (i.e. hands, head, legs) than we look like most of the creatures on our planet (compare us to squid or a zebra)? 2)Why would an enormously technologically advanced race who is capable of intergalactic space travel just not go undetected while coming here by using nanotechnology or something else entirely rather than being seen by a handful of white people who tend to make less than $40,000 a year? 3) Since we know about area 51 BEING a secret government facility AND they probably test things like NEW AIRCRAFTS, particularly cold war aircrafts AND they would probably test new aircrafts in the desert where most people wouldn't see them AND not denying everything would screw with the Russians' heads into thinking we might have flying saucers that can do this...how do we ignore this reality? Bob flippin' Lazar--that's how! LOL..oh, and a crappy video of my brothers alien costume from two Halloween's ago. The only thing believable about this film is that only the government could possible make such a crappy quality video of an alien...lots of fun though if you are bored.
The company Rocket Pictures DOES exist, they just don't do the production of videos for TV or home video very much at all, if ever anymore..They were on a History Channel Modern Marvels episode showing off transportation gadgets and they own a jet pack that propels people into the air just like the ones you see on TV and in movies..(pretty nice jet pack I might add) but YES, the company exists, just might not be on the web..believe it or not, quite a few local and national companies don't use the web even nowadays.. just too impersonal for them or just too much BS to set up and change their current and established ways..Toodles! (PS I believe, but I don't think they would be as "Intelligent" as they've been made out to be..just different "Intelligence" compared to our "Intelligence"...)so if they are real which I think they are somehow, somewhere..maybe they think of us the same way we think of them..could be a freaking' confusing day if they're made public..NO FLAMERS NOW!
Believe me, I'd love to believe, but everything points to more fake than real. The Rocket Production company put out the documentary, somehow they were 'choosen' by Victor (former Government Employee of Area 51), and this question is never addressed in the film. Rocket Productions doesn't exist anymore - they went out of business. And this appears to be a desperate move by the company. There has been no follow up on the subject of Victor's identity, but I put that due in part of the non-existence of Rocket Productions. Either that or Tom Coleman (president of Rocket Production) was kidnapped by the government to get information on who Victor was (That should have been Victor's ultimate concern in giving up his identity - go to the source).
