Terrific premise and outstanding cast (Robert Culp, William Katt, and Connie Sellecca).

The true message of the series - as emphasized by the "aliens" - is not just to stop "bad guys", but to prevent humans from destroying the Earth, an objective that's not furthered - or even referenced - in most of the episodes. Nonetheless, the first 2 seasons provide very good entertainment. In season 3 - other than its 1st and 13th (final) episodes - the quality of the storylines plummets (with no offense intended to the writers of those scripts).

All things considered, humans could use a lot more like this if they want to save the planet from themselves.

I don't love giving this film only four stars. I'd say it's closer to about 4.3, if that helps. Not necessarily a "must see" or a "must avoid". (How's that for noncommittal?)

Anyway, you should probably read other reviews if you want more explaining, analyzing, criticizing, critiquing, complaining, applauding, ranting, and raving about the film.

The primary reason for my review is to give props for Michael Tubbs, the one "interviewee" who plays his role believably well. No offense intended to the others, but they come across as a bit too "scripted" (which of course they are) and "mechanical".

As for my take on everything else about the film, my headline kinda' sums that up.
