Really Surprised!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Like any curious person, I'm open but also aware, skeptical, questioning. This movie really surprised me no crop circles have NOT been debunked. This movie debunks the debunk. See why. Nothing conspiracy here. Just brilliant minds investigating a real-life phenomenon that we should ALL be far more interested in. Why are some of us embarrassed to openly explore disturbing, puzzling events that we don't understand? I would really like to see a part two to this film, another version that explores the circles from other perspectives, current news on the circle happenings, and unexplored explanations. To me, one key part of the film is how the corn stalks were "cut" differently by the two men who staged their own - - versus all the other circles. There's something BIG there that deserves deeper, clearer communication to the viewer.

This movie is frustrating. It treats all of the "experts" equally. There are dowsers, psychics, housewives, crop researchers Living in Los Angeles who have never seen a crop circle, sensitives, flakes of every description... They spout their woo about vibrations, emanations, psychic connections with aliens, military conspiracy theories...It is done in the Erich von Däniken style: could this be a time warp to another dimension? Could crop circles cure AIDS? I tease, but they spin endless bullshit without any evidence.They talk about there being "electric fields" inside the crop circles. But they never got anyone with any credentials to measure them or say what they meant. They could easily have meant "magnetic fields". Nobody in the whole movie seemed have more than a sixth grade science education.Because they have so many flakes, and people with crop circle tourism businesses babbling on, you never know who is putting you on. You can't trust a thing anybody in the movie says. The movie intends to hard sell you on woo. It makes no attempt to give a balanced picture.I consider crop circles a form of art. What puzzles me is the exquisite quality of most of them. Usually public graffiti is dreadful. I am also puzzled that nobody has managed to get photos of a partially complete crop circle. Surely automatic IR cameras should have caught someone. There are claims of various features of the crop circles being of superior quality to clearly man made ones. For me to believe that, I need someone with reliable credentials. Since we don't have that, I suspect that is just nonsense to reel in the tourists.Unfortunately, there are not that many aerial photos of the crop circles. They are not nearly as impressive from the ground.

Crop circles will blow your mind! Are they a brilliant hoax, proof of alien existence or God's artwork? 'What on Earth?' explores this fascinating phenomenon with sensitivity, intelligence and beautiful photography. Suzanne Taylor is a charming sleuth and guide into the community of scientist, philosophers, geometers, psychics, spiritualists and screwballs that form around the area in southern England every summer as the new crop of circles come in. The circle appear overnight, some as large as a football field, challenge the current science of geometry and display stunning beauty. With insightful interviews, in depth analysis and awesome aerial photography Ms Taylor probes the evidence, history, significance and speculation that the existence of these miraculous circles pose. If you are seeking an entertaining overview of the controversy and conundrums of what many think is truly the greatest mystery on earth today, let Suzanne take your hand and introduce you to the people that are passionately trying to wrap their minds around the subject and come up with some out-of-the-box answers.

What on Earth is a very interesting film. These things have been around since I can remember. Seeing this cover on line inspired me to revisit the subject matter. The film maker certainly has a one sided view on the matter and gives very little attention to the human beings who have since learned how to create them. It is also no secret that most of them can't be produced with (known) earthly means or explained in terms of their perfection or state of electronic flux. If you are a believer then the film will certainly bolster your view further. If not it may upset you in it's lack of content concerning homemade circles. Never the less it is still interesting subject matter and will take you in some other perhaps unexpected directions later on. There is certainly a west coast hippy vibe to the production. Reminiscent of films produced about area 51 for example. The video footage is very dramatic. Really displaying the scope and complexity of these strange works of art whether produced here or from somewhere out there.
