Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers

1. 5 minutes of director playing with phone 2. Old footage 3. George Knapp at a swimming pool. This is just the first 10 minutes. Want more substance? Listen to Joe Rogans interview of Bob.

Again this is everything you expect from a Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell production: Lots of archive archive footage and a few interviews that hype how awesome the subject is (in this case Bob Lazar) but have no new information whatsoever. What distinguishes this from a 15 minutes clip on Youtube is that this is augmented with lengthy introduction scenes, glitch vfx and "mysterious music" . I felt especially annoyed by the reenacted phone / sms scenes that just went on too long and you could tell it is an attempt to stretch this to feature film length. To me around 80% felt as "filler". Only thing worthwhile are the recent interviews with Bob Lazar even tho they just repeat what he already talked about before.

First, this is a must watch for anyone who isn't aware of Bob Lazar or the story of Area 51. There's important information exposed that will leave you with questions, and maybe some answers.

However, the style of the documentary is a big letdown and distracts from the content and overall quality. Too many poorly done effects and phone calls that appear (although probably are not) staged. The documentary has a cheap, cheesy and almost sales-pitch like feel to it at times, which makes the story seem less genuine.

I'd still suggest watching this, but overall it suffers from trying too hard in the wrong areas.

Mickey Rourke as the narrator was probably the worst choice made. Such an interesting story but not reflected in this documentary

Interesting story, Lazar is fascinating. But the documentary is edited horribly with painfully Corby narration. The director has awful sections of himself pretending to perform real time phone calls (the doc starts with slo mo footage of himself in flashing pink light...). In one scene, Bob goes into great detail about how the gravity thrusters work, corbell follows up with "so this is an alien ship?"... Great extra insight there
