While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

For me this movie was gripping and well executed and told. With what they had to work with a 10 is well deserved. I've lately seen movies with A-List actors that are unbearable and cringeworthy. I understand those who are biased give these movies a 10. But I'm gonna do me and bring back traditions that I first fell in love with.

Phoenix Forgotten portrays itself as a movie about the sister of a teen who went missing after the phoenix lights incident in 1997. If you're not familiar with the phoenix lights, a bunch of strange lights appeared over Phoenix, then disappeared and was then never explained.Sophie Bishop, 20 years after her brother went missing, decides to shoot a documentary about what happened, and try and discover the truth. That sums up the first 2/3 of the movie and involves interviews with her family, plus footage shot by Josh (who was, of course, a camera geek and budding movie director). Caught halfway between this fake documentary and found footage movie, Phoenix Forgotten never really gets off the ground. There is some groundwork laid for the final act of the movie, but mostly the first couple acts are forgettable.The third act is where the movie really takes off, as the director fully embraces the found footage genre, and succeeds. The camera actually makes sense that it would be filmed, and the actions seem very believable. The main problem with the end of the movie is how the movie just ends. Don't expect any explanation of what was just witnessed or what it means. Is it human, alien, or other? That's up for the interpretation of the viewer and leaves the film weaker off.The other issue with the ending of the movie is it totally drops Sophie's documentary. While this works better for the pacing of the movie being watched, it's odd that a thread played out for so long is just dropped.In the end, viewers who enjoy the found footage genre should find something enjoyable here. But the dropped threads, questionable first hour, and ambiguous ending hurt the film.

This movie was a good movie it was basically based off of the events of the Phoenix incident basing all the real 3 people that went missing which really went missing but it shows what they thought happened because of how the three were together with UFO's and stuff but I thought this movie was good, not amazing but a good found footage film it had great showing of how they come together to find out what happened in Phoenix with the lights and everything and showing how all of them come together to find out what it was and also it shows the sister filming on what happened to her brother which is one of the three missing people but what happened to them it shows don't want to say what to ruin it but it is interesting and it feels like the government would actually hide something like this because they said this is based on the same event just not the footage and stuff but it was an okay movie and a good found footage movie.

The moving with that thin script would have deserve a short at best !!!...the first hour is really LOOOOooonnng ...& not much happened ...then come's for the last 30 mn the blair with copy ...but the copy is worst ..a lot worst. Really don't waste your time unless you a huge fan of anything that's use the blair witch camera technic aka shaky view.
