Alien Contactee

As a pronounced skeptic I still found this a fascinating portrait of a character one does not often get to spend this much time with. Portraits like this are an interesting window into thought processes beyond the stated "norm." Worth experiencing no matter where you fall on the alien question.

This guy has the same level of credibility of a...wait, I don't even know how to scale it. But he hits the bottom. So bad, so full of BS. Leave this "documentary" alone, waiting for it to disapear.

We started watching this because of the high reviews on IMDB. Unfortunately, many of the reviews seem to be bad. If you click on each account, you'll see that they have only left one review for this documentary.

The documentary follows "Dr Turi" telling a really detailed, boring, long account of his encounters with aliens. The cheesy background stock music doesn't help with his storytelling. It's almost like he's trying to promote himself and sell some sort of life coaching course.

The documentary lakes substance, has very low production value and was inaccurate. For example, at the beginning of the documentary, "Dr Turi" mentions "The Grand Hotel" in Eastbourne. This hotel is in fact in Brighton (as shown in the footage). The lack of research here made us question the authenticity of the documentary.

Utter rubbish, don't waste your time.

Watching your crazy uncle ranting is entertaining for the first ten minutes. His episodes of psychosis throughout his life has inspired him into believing and/or understanding lots of things. Bipolar mania, perhaps..? Or something more complex? Curious to know if he has experimented with any mind-altering drugs that may have enhanced or even triggered some of the extraordinary episodes his mind has facilitated. I'm glad he is doing well and has made a career of his beliefs.

I was surprised that he tied in God to it all in the end, especially after the bits on "astrology led to astronomy" parts. It's like when a pizza place also claims to make good kebabs and fried chicken...why would we trust that you've somehow figured out all of this? At least focus on your already far-fetched alleged field of expertise.

I am a bit of a skeptic on ET encounters but enjoyed the tales of Dr. Turi. If nothing else, he is a great storyteller. The doc is nicely laid out and filmed. It will cause you to think about what is around (or inside) of you! Worth a watch!
