Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Louis Allen I am a huge X files fan and I really do not buy into any conspiracy theories. With that being said I saw the film with an open mind and no expectations. Wow! Such a great documentary. It was funny, informative, objective, and really touching in certain moments. It covered a wide array of subjects in so many locations around the world. What I really enjoyed the most was seeing the variety of people who have opposing views to mine and seeing them as just interesting people.It was nice to find commonalities with them and understand the motivation to why they believe what they believe. Dean Haglund is funny, sincere, and very Canadian. This was better than the last X files movie! Seriously.

stephenjturner Full disclosure: I know the director and count him as a good friend. I am not what you'd call a movie buff, and don't sit around thinking deep thoughts about character development or lighting. I gave it a nine because tens don't exist.I went to the premier of this film in San Jose (perhaps Cupertino...but that only matters if you know where Cupertino is, and the people in Cupertino don't even know). I will tell all of you what I told Phil Lierness: I didn't stop thinking about the film for at least 24 hrs after seeing it. It was very thought provoking, challenging and it did indeed surprise me. My reaction to the people was wholly unexpected...much more accepting and a lot less dismissive than I thought. A good night, watching both the film and the subsequent podcast with Dean and Phil (who have an amazing rapport), and some lessons well learned.And that's all I got to say about that.

Jacki-S I am not a typical conspiracy theorist and while they go through my head, I try not to focus on them. Going to see this film was big for me because I was conflicted at what I want to know versus not wanting to know. While watching the film, I was not always sure where it was going. Some ideas were out there and comical and others re-iterated ones I have heard before. What was the surprise was the way the director weaved the film and its stories together in such a way that by the end, I was feeling different than I thought I would. There is a message from several different theorists that leave you with a feeling of hope. This was not the film I thought it would be and as the director states in his podcast that I stayed afterwords to watch, the film took on a path of it's own and I believe that is why it was a success to finish the way the director allowed it. You will laugh out loud at parts, turn your head sideways at other parts and think when you really need to about reality. It is my strong recommendation that you listen to the podcast (I get it from itunes- chillpak Hollywood hour, but I know there are other sources) from after the US Premier on May 21st, 2011. The star and director share their thoughts on the film and people in them. They are articulate and thought provoking with their comments and added a lot of respect to the film for me. The director ends the podcast on one of the best and touching notes that I have heard in a while, but don't listen to the podcast until you see this film.

Ket This documentary is an interesting story following Dean Haglund and filmmaker Phil Leirness as they journey through the world of UFO conventions and conspiracy theories. I was lucky enough to attend the Premiere in London, as part of the SCI-FI-London Film Festival (2011).As some have already mentioned it isn't a definitive guide to the conspiracy theories at large, I don't think it is meant to be, there are just too many of them. The movie however shows a more "relaxed" side to a diversity of people who have strong beliefs in what they see as their own truth and as the documentary unfolds, we see Dean's own journey progress with each encounter. With interviews from interesting people from all over the globe, it's warm, funny and scary at times. I like the way the movie seems to stay in neutral territory and allow the interviews to take on a life of their own, giving the individuals their own space to express themselves. With so many different, passionate stories, its hard not to be entertained and appreciate this piece of work.
