Beyond the Spectrum: Being Taken

Beyond the Spectrum - Being Taken is a fascinating and thought provoking look at alien abduction. In the past. I've watched a few films and TV shows about UFO abductions but I've always taken them as entertainment and nothing else. This movie challenged my assumptions. Personally, I've never believed in aliens, but if space is infinite then it has to be possible that some other form of life may exist somewhere. Being Taken uses a compilation of footage from different sources which gives it almost a found footage effect. Overall it is very entertaining and really funny at times. The various testimonies tell a compelling story and the 'abductees' themselves come across as being truthful and credible. Whatever your take on the subject, even if you are a skeptic like me, you will find this film thoroughly thought provoking!

In 1977 filmmaking impresario Steven Spielberg gave us "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". At the end of that movie the character played by Richard Dreyfuss is shown entering into a colossal flying ship, which transports him and other humans into the night sky. This is classified in the "ufology" field as a close encounter of the fourth kind, alien abduction.

The documentary "Beyond The Spectrum-Being Taken" investigates several incidents spanning a number of decades in which people claim to have seen, and many actually to have been physically taken (some even insisting they were bodily probed), by alien beings. Among the most prominently publicized of these alleged events, and which this production chronicles, involves the story of New Hampshire couple Betty and Barney Hill in the 1960s. The Hills reportedly recalled in considerable and striking detail their individual and collective abduction experience both before and during clinically conducted sessions of hypnosis.

Okay. So either you believe or you don't when it comes to UFOs and aliens, right? Or, as is alluded to in "Beyond The Spectrum-Being Taken", there exists a third option. A sort of gray area. Not complete acceptance. But not slam-the-door-shut dismissal either.

You'll find me residing there.

If you are curious about UFO's and Science Beyond the Spectrum... is for you. I've done research on this subject and this film is spot on!

As a skeptic of alien abductions generally, I find these kinds of things very entertaining! This one did not disappoint. I've seen many alien abduction conspiracy pieces put together by everything from news magazines down to the lowest levels of YouTube, and this one finds the right level of fun absurdity. I like to find things that make me question my reality more than an any strict belief in alien beings and this definitely had me thinking about why this one specific thing in our society is so popular and perpetual. Thought provoking stuff!

Beyond the Spectrum brilliantly looks into alleged abductions and UFO phenomenon. The documentary maintains a focus primarily on abduction scenarios. The testimony ranges from newly captured interviews or historically added video research, full of interesting and compelling stories. The carefully curated selection of interview material, along with the narrations creates an extraterrestrial experience, transporting you into a new dimension of documentary. If you are a fan of great mysteries or Alien life on this planet, you have to watch this. Beyond the Spectrum is one of the best documentaries I've seen about this, treating the subject in a very intelligent way.
