This is excellent. It starts by giving you the arguments for and against alien visitation to Earth. It's not in any way condescending to the ideas proposed, or the proponents of UFO visits, but carefully looks at them with a respectful approach.

A balanced presentation with careful consideration of any claims made.

The narration is engaging, and goes into the details of many high profile cases, while discussing the possibility of them having mundane explanations.

This is a scholarly look at the subject, while also keeping the viewers interest at all times.

The interviewees are erudite and know their fields. They present their evidence and knowledge in a very accessible way.

This is something that everyone with even a passing interest would be well served to watch.

The video is darker than a coalminers lunchbox. Even a lot of the external scenes. Summer in England maybe. If you want claustrophobic, filming in 4:3 is just the lazy way out. Barry Lyndon in 1975 worked out how to film candlelight and still see past the actors faces. The sound was often dull and muddy. Less than perfect hearing and you often need subtitles to know what's being said. Two hours is a very long time to wait for a "twist" that simply can't justify the tedious mess that precedes it. Of the much vaunted "controversial" scenes, a lot has already been said, but to be honest, if it had been a horror movie, they'd have been the gory jump scares. It's not the actors' fault that it's so dull. I give the cast top marks for doing pretty much everything that could be done with the script. If not for that, I'd have bailed 40 minutes in.

Awful, pretentious, and an obvious attempt to phone in award nominations made by pretentious people.
