Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

jlthornb51 Rich Christiano directed this fascinating science fiction film about UFO abductions and two reporters exploring alternate explanations to the phenomenon. Well scripted by the multi-talented director himself and shot on location in Redlands, California, this is an atmospheric movie that's both intelligent and suspenseful. Jonathan Aube and Josh Adamson give extraordinary performances as the two reporters who differ on the interpretation of evidence and struggle with the truth of what is happening. While some may find the possible explanation somewhat misleading or even offensive, it is actually a fresh and interesting take on UFO theory. The Woodward and Bernstein relationship is finely handled and the sense of wonder and overriding tension extremely intense. This is a very unique motion picture experience and one that will have audiences debating its substance for years to come.

avsherwood1 Wow... just... wow. There are a lot of reviews on this movie already but I wanted to add some comments of my own. I agree with most reviewers who have said this movie has terrible acting, writing, and directing - whoo boy does it ever. However, I think there is some other problems here.1. Why is Christian belief and the allowance for extraterrestrial life mutually exclusive? The film acts as though you just can't be a Christian and also allow for the possibility? Why? They ever-so-briefly touch on this in the film (i.e. "The Bible doesn't say there is aliens." "Well, the Bible doesn't say there isn't.), but the actual rebuttal is never answered. The Bible really doesn't say there isn't. So how about dealing with the question instead of dismissing it out of hand? Or better yet, acknowledge that this is an infinite universe we live in and if we believe in an infinite God there is the possibility that he made some other life somewhere and has his own plans for them.2. How come the ONLY two explanations for the abductions that are valid are demons and hoax? What about sleep paralysis and night terrors which have been linked to abduction experiences? What if it's something else entirely? Too bad the film makers already have their minds made up.3. The film makers claim that all who have had abduction experiences have had ties to the occult. That's a pretty big claim to make without any factual evidence to present. I'm not necessarily arguing that they don't, but if you're going to say something so asinine you'd better have the facts to back it up.4. Why does the other reporter (not the Greasy Haired Blonde Guy, the other one) always have his hands in his pockets? It's hard to take someone seriously when they're constantly playing pocket pool.I WISH this had been an exploration of Christian faith and UFO phenomena, but unfortunately the film makers were too concerned with their "Faith Message" to care much about make a thought provoking movie. As a Christian myself, this saddens me.

sewinsl In reading the reviews of this movie, I think many folks really rated it more poorly than it deserves. I think the sci-fi folks are, for the most part, anti-Christian and REALLY hated that the movie didn't have the godless freak appeal of their usual fare. Now, don't get me wrong, this is no timeless treasure. It is clearly from a Christian perspective....and a pre-tribulation rapture of the church version at that.It was sci-fi lite, which is good for me. I liked the new twist on why these "abductions" & appearances were happening. It was different. Alas, if you are a hard-core sci-fi person who BELIEVES in UFO's and/or bigfoot... you will probably be offended by this movie even suggesting that you may be influenced by demons..... which you probably are.

Melissa Alice This is a good movie to get you to think about some things you might never have thought about. I have heard this hypothesis about UFOs/aliens before, and I totally agree. While not all the acting and script is great, I thought most of the actors did a good job, better than some other Christian movies I've seen. This is more than a story about UFOs--that's definitely part of it--but the most important part of the story revolves around the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel is set forward in a straightforward, serious approach, which I think is needed in the film industry. There are three main characters, one an atheist or agnostic, one who begins to be unsure he is a Christian, and one who is a strong Christian. They are looking into various of UFO sightings, the atheist taking the side that they are hoaxes. Please don't reject seeing the movie because of negative reviews. I found it interesting and enjoyable. I enjoyed the behind the scenes on the DVD a lot, as well.
