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 was terrible. I love a good alien flick, and this new "found footage" styling has its merits, but only when done well. This movie was neither entertaining or exciting. There were a couple of almost moments; however, it was mostly just a lot of waiting around for something to happen. There's a plot, but it's weak. There's an underlying element of alien spookiness, but it never really gets played out well. From the home camera footage to the lack of any real story within the plot to the overly anti-climatic ending, I basically kept thinking to myself it was like watching the travesty of the Blair Witch Project all over again. Except only with the hint of alien flair.

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.

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.

Best left undiscovered. In terms of restaurants, that one you would never, ever admit going to.
