Alien Intrusion: Unmasking a Deception (2018) Reviews

• Confirms my own research and has an uplifting ending

  old_dreamer2018-01-22

  This movie isn't about proving that the UFO phenomenon is real, so much as providing an answer to aspects of it that do appear to be real. I've been interested in the phenomenon since I was a child in the 60s and 70s and there were several UFO "flaps" or excitement over a number of sightings. I noticed early on that the phenomenon seemed to be polarizing -- the experts seemed to fall into one of two camps: 1) True Believers who seemed to accept everything hook, line, and sinker, and often expanded the accounts to include widespread, amazing conspiracies and incredible levels of alien presence and collusion with governments -- and made lots of money with books. 2) Total Debunkers who denied that there was anything at all unusual going on, just perhaps some rare but known phenomena -- swamp gas, mass hallucinations, nightmares, maybe ball lightning. Mostly they seemed to just read reports second-hand and insert such "explanations" for anything and everything and assume that was that. They probably didn't make as much money on books, but one or two did write books and frequently appeared as "experts" in TV coverage and documentaries. Both camps seemed to be wearing blinders, dismissing some things that shouldn't be easily dismissed while accepting what they wanted no matter what. However, I noticed two of the researchers who were highly qualified and did extensive, close research changed their views over time and came to a third, arguably more balanced view: in rare cases, the phenomena was real, not like ordinary known natural phenomena, but also that they didn't fit any conceivable visitation by aliens or humans from the future. Perhaps this is just another form of biased conclusion, but it seems more reasonable to me than the first two, and this movie gives a good introduction with a number of reasons for rejecting the extreme views and goes further, pointing to facts which make the most sense if there are some real phenomena which are caused by neither aliens nor known natural forces. It does however, accept the explanation that the Roswell "crashed UFO" was a Cold War listening device and weather balloon, and that most of the cases have natural explanations. Personally, I suspect the whole story is a bit more complex, with secret government experimental projects playing a larger role than this movie suggests, but overall I think it does a service in presenting a different way of looking at the subject. You may not agree with the final answer that is presented for the cases that go beyond easy explanation by natural events, but if you've only known one or both of the first two views, you really should check this out and at least allow your mind to ponder that there may be "...more things in heaven and earth, ...Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (Hamlet, by Shakespeare, as if you didn't know).

• Well written Documentary

  stephendenagy2018-01-12

  It was predictable that many people would feel deceived about this movie. It is because using secular sources, they address uncomfortable details of the alien hypothesis, and the alien abduction hypothesis. Aside from ad hominem attack against the flow of the movie, the reviews against the movie do nothing to refute the factual basis of the movie. It is worth seeing, and then weighing the evidence, and coming to your own conclusion. I for one had never thought about how Starfleet Command might solve the problem of time dilation at faster than light speed travel! Same for the aliens! How do they do it? How do they materialize in your bedroom or travel through walls? Enquiring minds would like to know.

• Wow! Encouraging, eye-opening & uplifting!!!

  FeeBee20182018-02-05

  An honest, intelligent & well-researched movie covering the spiritual nature of alien/ UFO encounters. The research used is readily available to anyone genuinely wanting to know more, and the producer has woven this research into the film, bringing integrity & relevance, to the understanding of people today. As the 'science' is outlined & explained throughout the movie, it becomes increasingly clear that the 'facts' do not add up. The powerful accounts from those interviewed, is truly eye-opening and exceptionally moving. Absolutely worth seeing & staying through to the very end of the film!

• Frábær vísindi og tæknibrellur / Excellent science and special effects

  jonoa-190-1123822018-02-04

  I don't know what people were complaining about. The graphics were excellent. It was interesting to see why interstellar travel is physically impossible. Einstein showed that mass would increase sharply as we approach light speed, but even without that effect, ordinary physics means that too much energy would be involved if we travelled fast enough to reach the stars in a life time. That aerospace engineer Dewey Hodges pointed out that energy increases with the square of the speed, so even space-ships going at a third of light's speed, about ten thousand times the speed of our best rockets, would need a hundred million times more energy. And he pointed out that collisions with objects as small as snowflakes would have the energy of huge bombs, so what would an asteroid do? The movie also avoided a lot of sensationalism. If there are ordinary man-made or natural explanations for observations, we don't need to believe in something extra-ordinary. This includes the Roswell, New Mexico event. But that leaves a small percentage without a good explanation. So what is going on there? It's very clear that the claimed experiences are not with good beings but harmful ones. And what can help them? These people have had traumatic experiences, and found it hard to get help because others didn't understand. So don't dismiss what helped them because of a prior bias.

• Unlike any UFO film I have seen

  sgillis-115622018-02-02

  Millions of people have seen UFOs and experienced strange entities, so something is going on. This film, based on a top-selling book, gives an explanation that might surprise you, but makes perfect sense. Well-know UFO researchers are highlighted and scientists explain if it is possible for extraterrestrials to fly here in hyper-drive space ships. The telling part of the movie comes from the people interviewed that have experienced these entities and what is really happening. It's definitely worth seeing and you will be thankful you did.
