Reviews
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
The_Boxing_Cat 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
Engin Burnas 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!
mainercawker Yes what they were building is an attractor/repulser engine! That is how saucers move, by attracting or repelling gravity. Thats why the opposite rotating core plates with the magnets to create a magnetic attraction or repulsion! Just like when you put the north and north pole of the second magnet together they repel or the north and south pole of a secondary magnet together they attract. Gravity fields work in the same manner; they are magnetic and found throughout the entire universe . That's why a black hole sucks everything in and can be used to transport in milliseconds to any part of the galaxy!Simple mathematics and physics. The government has known about this for years. That's why they're funding suddenly stopped.Because of the information in this review; the government may stop it from being posted!
Melissa Field I saw this on Netflix and was curious, as it gives the same blurb it does here. I'm not an avid crop circle researcher, so you're if you're looking for an expose on crop circles, aliens and everything in between, this isn't for you. The film begins with some interesting facts on the crop circle phenomena, especially in regards to hoaxers. There are definite hoaxers, but there are also things they showed that cannot be hoaxed nor explained.As the story went on what really drew me in was the human interest part of it. The director, Charles Maxwell, was as much a part of this story as he was the one creating it. I really admired his courage to go all in and see just where this was all leading. He became friends with a transsexual, and despite judgment and criticism from his friends, began to build with this woman what might be the secret the crop circles were trying to share. I was really rooting for Charles and Nikola and extremely curious what would happen when their invention was built. Mixed in with this are stories on Nikola and how those closest to her feel about her transition.I won't tell you what happens in the end. I will only say that Charles is what I would call a dreamer, and it's the dreamers who bring about the most important and revolutionary changes in this world. They also tend to face the roughest path as those who don't believe in their vision want to hold them back. What if what Charles and Nikola built really is a glimpse of future technology? What if it really is something that historians will look back on and say, "Thank God they tried that." We'll never know. All I do know is, the world needs more people like Charles and Nikola. People who will put what society says is rationale aside, knowing full well they could fail, to take a chance on something that expands all of our minds. Charles and Nicola, I salute you. You're two people who won't have to die with regret and the wonder, "What if I'd not cared what people would say and just went for it? What if I'd tried? What if...."All in all, a movie I would recommend to anyone. Some will like the crop circle stuff, others will like the personal aspects. And some might even get inspired like me.
