Hangar 10

I am typically a fan of found footage movies, especially if they are well done. This one was not.

I was very excited to watch Hangar 10, as I enjoy a good UFO/alien movie. What a disappointment!

I spent most of this movie wondering what the hell was going on. The reason why they were in the woods and their reasoning for doing things was not made very clear. The accents were thick which did not help matters at all.

Overall, the movie was slow and boring, and two of the actors spent half the movie yelling "Gus!!!" which got pretty old.

Unfortunately, all Hangar 10 did for me was waste two hours of my life that I can never get back.

This movie had some things going for it. I think the actors are strong. The special effects, especially at the end, are really good. Also, I like alien found footage movies. They are a little more unique than the supernatural found footage.

The problem is the writing. The dialogue is simplistic. As a result, it is hard to figure out what is going on for most of the second and third acts. This movie has a major problem with character motivation as well. The question of why the characters are there, why they are filming, and why they don't give up just haunt the viewer throughout.

I rented this on Amazon, where it is listed under the alternative title of "The Rendlesham UFO Incident". The synopsis, as presented on Amazon's Fire TV, is rather limited and so I took this to be a new Rendlesham documentary. The movie is listed as having the release date of "2015" to add to the confusion.

Of course, I found out within a couple of minutes that this drivel could not be further from a documentary and is the kind of found footage nonsense that gives serious UFO research a bad name. Do yourself a favour and poke yourself in the face with sharp needles for a couple of hours - this will be a more rewarding experience.

I had read somewhere Hangar 10 had something to do with Severance (the excellent Brit comedy/horror) therefore I was expecting the same director, or writer perhaps, I think I was wrong. First off the acting isn't too bad and the story line is not entirely off point. Too much time most certainly is spent in the woods however and a meandering atmosphere soon sets in. It's obvious the found footage style is here to stay however a real drawback in this movie was the extent of it and the implementation - I really had enough of it. To the point it detracted from the movie unfortunately, and this movie does gain momentum towards the end so that was quite a shame. You'd have to be a real hardcore Sci-Fi fan and not mind headache inducing camera work to enjoy, which is a shame as I think the ingredients were there for an enjoyable movie but did not make it for me. As a comparison Probability of girlfriend enjoying District 9- 100% Hangar 10- 0%.

There is an easy way to sum up this movie. Say you have a budget of $2,000US and you live near a field. All you need to do is buy a $50 camera at Walmart, ask your friends, "Hey want to be in a Movie and be Famous?" and Adobe CS5.

For the movie run around in the fields and record yourselves screaming for one hour. Then put the video on you laptop and edit.

WAALAA! Instant sensation! Make a commercial of the movie and only show the audience getting scared. Then make a scary cover for you DVD.

Let the sheep buy it! On a lighter note, this is a terrible terrible movie. Please don't torture your eyes and waste your time watching it. Go outside for an hour instead and thank God your alive...
