Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
benjaminwg Production values and acting are far above the norm for these sorts of recreations. It's not embellished like Fire in the Sky, either. Quite objectively handled subject matter. Those presenting the cases are the most reputable around. My only real complaints are the limited number of seasons and episodes, and the slightly annoying tendency to repeat and recap after each commercial break. There are many more cases worth elucidating for the public in this format, and I can't imagine the recap repetition being that useful -- does anyone start watching a 20 minute show DURING the commercials? DVR is so common that all it served to do was take up the valuable time in these short two-parters.
Peter April I have to admit that first season contains many events already shown in many previous TV series such as: Malstrom Airbase incident, Kecksburg incident, Phoenix Lights incident, Japanese Airlines incident over Alaska and Rendlesham Forest incident. Although these episode were still interesting to watch due to nice re-enacting of the events with intriguing acting and high quality computer animations (which most of other UFO series lack of). Besides these, there were also many episodes in season which 1 included incidents from 21st century. Thankfully, non of the episodes contained Roswell "incident" (now clearly debunked as Project Mogul balloon), 1800s Aurora Texas incident (debunked as hoax) or even over exploited Betty and Barney Hill abduction. Second 2 is even more interesting as it contains less known cases, including 21st century encounters.In general, this is TV series with high quality animations and with well detailed recreation of events. Episodes are well edited and are full of coherent interviews with investigators giving an interesting perspective. End of each episode contains short and interesting analysis with little assumptions being projected - they give quick opinion of skeptics and briefly show some photos/documents collected during investigation. Series gives clear view of events and leave it to the audience to decide what they think about these encounters. I consider it to be, currently, the best UFO series after Alien Mysteries. Complete opposite to sensationalist, cheap and awfully edited Hangar 1.
scotchmoe21 While this show does cover the main big UFO stories, it also brings to light many you never heard. Reenacted and highly recommended for UFO enthusiasts or just the common person with little interest in the field. Each Episode is a thought provoking triumph. I try to a lot of UFO and alien stories over the years and have to change it due to lack of interest, this is not the case with this show. Thought provoking and well put together. I love it when they can back up the stories with evidence. While the idea of Aliens might be fearsome to some, it is a topic of debate and so while not all stories can be taken on faith, it is still a ride for intensity.
kurtisrbell PRODUCERS OF THIS SHOW. Here are topics that have been played to Death, Kecksburg, Roswell. JAL Flight, The British Roswell, Barney & Betty, OHara, PHX lights, 1800's Texas Crash. Please find new stuff. 1Mill sightings a year and you guys are doing Kecksburg and PHX lights. And add NOTHING. Already covered in shows UFO Files UFO Hunters, that have been on cable for the last 15 years. Do you watch TV? Have you ever seen the programming where your show plays? It is pretty however. However overused topics. Cable is a heaven for UFO followers. We know bad TV. Try a little harder. I REPEAT: ready covered in shows UFO Files UFO Hunters, that have been on cable for the last 15 years. Do you watch TV? Have you ever seen the programming where your show plays? It is pretty however. However overused topics. Cable is a heaven for UFO followers. We know bad TV. Try a little harder.
