      So bad I didn't even finish it

      Conspiracy theory about aliens in underground bases, by "experts" that have seen them. Ugh! So stupid that I switched off after 15 minutes

      Lmao

      A sad story of a delusional man. I am a structural engineer and a geologist and a self taught metallurgist. Right. A green beret died while rescuing me after I was opened up like a fish by the alien death ray. Right. Let's see the fish guts scar. You don't even know the name of the green beret who died for you? What a total load of ignorant bs. Ridiculous .

      RUSSIAN FAKE NEWS/DOCUMENTARY!

      The movie shows parts of interviews and news shows from the Russian propaganda tv channel RT. RT is nothing but a manipulative and lying Russian propaganda channel.

      Complete overview of P.Schneider information

      I have seen most of Schneider's lectures from 1995 and this documentary provides a good overview of the available information about him and his life without going to deep into the lectures itself.

      It does so fairly objectively in my opinion.

      Bear in mind, that Schneider's lectures were explosive in its content; the documentary does not add any subjectives elements.

      It is not the documentary saying these crazy ideas, it was Phil who brought to light these unworldly activities.

      It's nice work this movie! Ignore other comments who have not watched Phil's lectures. Should you watch his lectures, watch the earliest lectures first where his recollection and mind was most clear.

      Clearly Delusional

      You don't have to be a psychiatrist (or self taught metallurgist) to see serious mental illness on display here. Unfortunately the documentarians (or satirists? I'm not sure if they are well-meaning or making fun of the poor guy) go to great lengths to dive deeply into the madness without questioning it too much. Also rating it based on really shoddy production values.
