Fiasco total: La toma del Área 51

One night, Matty Roberts puts up a joking post on his Facebook page calling for Area 51 to be stormed. The public event gains massive following, and the authorities prepare for an influx in Nevada.

If you ever want a documentary with a massive anti-climax, it has to be this one. There's something of a similarity between this story and another recent Trainwreck release, The Real Project X. If you're wanting carnage, go to that one instead.

This Trainwreck series is a little hit and miss; this isn't one of the best episodes so far. The fact that Pornhub wanted to sponsor the event, I think that tells you all you need to know. I think a lot of people saw a lot of dollar signs and an excuse to make money and grab fifteen minutes of fame.

It's watchable in a way, but the story is almost cartoon-like, with big, brash people and big ideas, no concern for anyone other than themselves, suing people. It doesn't exactly show you humanity at its finest.

A bit of a misfire. Like a bad cartoon.

5/10.

Far more interesting than recent Trainwreck episode "Real Project X" (in which many kids showed up to a birthday party and, for some reason, we know about it), this story involves a better variety of testimonies, with higher stakes considering the location, and a fairly intricate backstory where half-baked internet ideas go head-to-head with reality.

Social media dwellers are a parody of themselves at this point, and anyone with a couple decades will immediately roll their eyes at the immature elements of this doc, but it's still a fun study of people with lives that permit ideas like "let's storm a government base because aliens and party" before facing humility.

Not exactly something you do if you have priorities, but still hilarious to watch, like seeing Johnny Knoxville and pals invent idiotic stunts for your amusement. The silliness is balanced out by interviews with town locals, military, and other grown-ups who live in reality. When all the parts mix in the end, not much happens besides some partying, but thankfully it didn't go the other way resulting in tragedy.

I'm not sure it had to be split into 2 episodes. Yet I didn't feel like much time was wasted if viewed as a single film. It's ultimately a familiar lesson: reality wins against absurdist notions from the internet. But rarely do we see it done so uniquely, and at least a few people got a dance party out of it.

If you've pondered the age old question are Aliens more intelligent than earthlings, this film is for you.

Wasting a couple of hours watching nerdy fame seekers coalescing around government conspiracy theories, exemplify fake courage, and show why working at a vape kiosk is your only skillset, while a local business owner chooses profit over ppl of her town of 50, ponder no more.

So the next question in life- what's worse, these social media idiots or the mainstream media who gives them attention?

Do the majority of Americans suffer from Peter Pan Syndrome? Why would anyone really believe the 'event' was real? The meme guy is a loser who could have easily told everyone it was a joke the first day, but no; he wanted his 15 minutes of fame - get a haircut and a real job dude!

The wayward and Spoiled youth of America has become a way of life since the late '50s and it will continue it seems until hopefully someone alerts them to the fact that being a responsible adult begins at 18 years of age, in some countries that would be 16 years old.

Meme guy doesn't care about the amount of tax payers money that was used to secure his 'event' or the debt the that woman is in because of him, he should have been charged with reckless behavior.

I was excited for this. I remember following it from the U. K. how ever this is so badly put together and all over the place.

Rarely do I need to switch off a series I've been excited to watch. I'm sure the makers at Netflix took something when putting this together. Jumps to pointless stuff and it's dire. Worth cancelling Netflix over. Looks like a student made it but tried to use an editing app and they had ADHD. The storyline was here but instead of following what happens it constantly edited in ridiculous and pointless scenes.
