I was looking forward to seeing this documentary and even waited a while for the rental price to get marked down a bit before I took the plunge. To me, Greer's documentaries have actual authenticity and I find them to be based on more solid ground. It's not just the same Talking Heads regurgitating the same old conspiracy theories and re-counting the same old stories over and over again. If I have to hear about Roswell one more time, am I right?
Anyway, overall I thought the documentary was fine, but I was disappointed in all the re-creations. I want to see actual footage and photographs. Not re-creations. Re-creations actually made this film less credible. One or two is OK but when the entire film is full of re-creations it kind of loses its potency.
Also, Greer has yet to re-create the slickness of "close encounters of the fifth kind." That was an engaging documentary with lots of original footage of UFO craft, light beings, and other cool stuff.
More of that is what we need!
Not that anyone cares, but I think it makes more sense to just interview Dr. Greer in a traditional format rather than filming him give a lecture. It was kind of weird. I dislike these folks who put out so-called "documentaries" that are actually just home videos of them giving lectures. I know on the surface it seems like it would be dramatic, but it's not. It's just as boring as sitting through the real thing. Please stop doing this.
