Best movie of this year hands down!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I enjoyed this movie. I actually found it similar to The Blair Witch Project, but better overall. It presents the story of scientists in an Indonesian jungle, looking for a believed extinct species of bird, and stumbling onto something much more sinister. Yes, I understand the comments that "this isn't what I expect from Animal Planet" and maybe there's a better way for AP to let viewers know this is not a serious documentary about animals. But take it for what it is -- entertainment.

I just wasted 2 precious hours to go to a great Saturday evening because this thing was on, and it was quite intriguing, so I stayed at home.Then, at the end of the film, they said that it is all fiction.Why?Why did you waste my time? Why? I was wondering why a seeming fascinating documentary like this was not on National Geographic, and only after the thing ended, they say that it is not actually real.Why do you play fairy tales on a documentary channel?

At first I just watched the film in awe, and of course explaining frantically to my wife about the live footage of a dwarf species of human believed to be extinct, on the Island of Flores. After that I thought the movement of the "homo floresiensis" from the alleged footage filmed by the alleged Dr. Timothy Darrow moved unnaturally, so I started investigating. Basically, the whole movie was a hoax, utterly misleading its viewers...all right, fossils and archaeological material of this small human species have been unearthed on the Island of Flores, but from that to this movie it's a looong way. As an artistic movie it was super entertaining, I have to give it 10 stars, nevertheless as a documentary, it is tricking the audience way too much, so I'll give it a 2.

With thousands of undiscovered species and unprecedented access to wildlife, I have no idea why Animal Planet continues to fabricate sensationalized garbage like this. This type of trash is the nature version of The Kardashians. What an extreme disappointment coming from the network that was once a reliable source of programming built around the fascinating natural world. I attend many film festivals and have seen outstanding, unique films about nature but unfortunately, they never get distribution. Hopefully, as Animal Planet abandons quality programming, some enterprising network will recognize the void they left when they departed from intellectual viewers and started catering to the less sophisticated audience.
