I did not know about the crowd-funding for this film. It is definitely a shame that so many people who "backed" this project are bitter about the outcome and have given the documentary bad ratings. I don't understand why people are so surprised when they have to pay a small amount for a worthwhile cause that they wanted to promote in the first place.When I first saw the film listed on Netflix, I thought it might be like one of those "found footage" type fake documentaries because the premise seemed so outlandish. After reading a little more I realized that this was meant to be a serious documentary so I watched it. I think the real subject is Dr. Greer himself and his quest and not whether we have been visited by UFOs/aliens. There was an emotional undercurrent running throughout the film that may have turned off some viewers expecting cold, hard facts. But the "human" element in this documentary attracted me to it. There is such a glut of info out there on the subject of UFOs, much of it contradictory. Trying to pull it together and have it make sense for an hour and a half film would only result in a confusing, superficial mess. Each one of Dr. Greer's informants/collaborators could themselves be the subjects of a full length documentary, not to mention the tiny alien mummy.That leads to my one criticism of the film: The 6-inch alien, initially presented as the focus of the documentary, was actually peripheral to the main subject of the film. I think this probably should not have been included and instead be made the subject of its own full length documentary. The doctor doing the DNA testing did not conclusively say that this creature was human. What he did say was that the mitochondrial DNA (from the mother) was human. The rest of the DNA was unusual and did not account for any of the strange features of the being including the elongated cranium, the facial structure, the number of ribs and the extremely small stature. He said he was going to continue to study it. He also admitted that there were other things he wanted to say but couldn't for fear that he would be laughed at by his colleagues. More reason to believe that there is something very unusual in the makeup of the little creature.This film didn't claim to answer all the unanswered questions on the subject of UFOs but instead focused on Dr. Greer and his efforts to create a dialog with extraterrestrial beings and his attempt to enlighten those in the government about the cover-ups, secrecy, misinformation, and murders perpetrated by unknown persons who operate outside of any known organization. His methods are grounded in Eastern philosophy and Buddhism and combine the spiritual with the scientific. That in itself would probably make some people uncomfortable with the documentary and the information presented. We have been taught to believe that science and spirituality are diametrically opposed. Science is objective and based on observation and data while spirituality is subjective, faith based and therefore flawed. It reminds me of how Star Trek's Mr. Spock relied entirely on science and logic. Time and again, humans proved to him that faith and "feelings" have a part to play in every equation.

I'll start off by saying, I was a little disappointed reading the other reviews who gave the movie really bad scores. I'm guessing it's because they thought the film was going to promise them something, but it didn't and they got disappointed, or they completely missed the message.I'll be honest this movie is not meant for people without an open mind or should I say, "not ready" for certain issues, but it's alright, because extreme issues are not meant to be easily understood and readily accepted by the public, if it were, then talking about UFO and ETs would not be such controversial topics.Also, if you fall in the category of being those who have not done their homework enough to pick up a little of the truth, on UFO, Aliens, Dr. Greer, or is still unsure whether or not these things exist, well, this movie will be hard to believe, or more like bogus to you. No, shall I say all of it will bogus. So then you may ask, what's the point of watching then? well, either skip the movie or watch this movie for fun instead, I'm sure you'll get great laughs out of it -- because one of the fundamental topics are on UFO and ETs.However, for the people and reviewers who keep saying this film was funded by the people and therefore should be free for the people, it's rather a naive question to ask if you understand how business works because here's no way around it. In Dr. Greer's opinion, yes it should be free, however when he has to work with film producers, we all know that money is no question needed to run these movie business. No one work on a painstakingly long documentary video, release it in theaters, promote hundreds of ads, and say I'll do it all for free? It's a no brainer. There is nothing Greer can do about it making this video free, unless he was skilled enough to filmed everything himself and paid for all the expenses. Besides, Greer doesn't get any money out of this film, all the money will be going toward building the laboratories.Now for those who can carry an open mind, considering the extreme topics that will be discuss in this video... well be warned, because you are about to learn what many would call the "TRUTH" (or however you want to call it) if not already, and in many ways that would be hard to comprehend. This movie is not meant to convince or make you believe UFO or Aliens exist. It goes by far beyond these topics touching base on our energy systems and a quick introduction to the industrial military complex.All I have to say is, keep an open mind, watch this movie, and when the time comes you'll be thankful for all those people who've been ridiculed and have risked their lives so many times over trying to reveal the truth and change our world for the better. Lastly, the story in this very video can relate back to a time when people said the earth was flat or the sun revolved around the earth.

Once again "Doctor" Greer has released nothing more than inconclusive ego stroking new-age garbage with no concrete proof of anything. He is a clown and anyone who takes this joke of a man seriously, should seek mental health treatment.He has nothing more than hypothesis and assumptions. His free-energy promises are at least one decade in the making. Its 2013....and still no free-energy and still no proof of aliens.He is touting around an aborted fetus and calling it an alien for f--- sake!! Keep your money people...and stop contributing to this idiot's retirement fund!!

What was advertised as a scientific, peer-reviewed documentary promising to bring to light real UFO evidence and the DNA report of an allegedly alien body, is in practice 10% hard science and facts, and 90% new-age pseudo-science worthy of a street vendor selling healing crystals. What little factual evidence there is in this documentary mainly revolves around the suppression of alternative energy research throughout history, interviews with high ranking military and government personnel, and legitimate criticism of the US military industrial complex, which is properly documented and can be taken seriously. It would be very interesting were it not invalidated by Greer's bizarre spiritual ideas.How Steven Greer has the title of medical doctor I have no idea, maybe he bought it online, but to listen to a medical doctor who promises science and studies rationalizing that his dead wife's spirit lives on in a cosmic, universal consciousness and that he can summon UFOs by communicating through telepathy is both embarrassing and kind of sad in a pathetic way. Not only was the advertising of this movie misleading, but his 'alien body' is actually fraudulent. Greer claims his alien specimen has DNA of an 'unknown classification' and claims that Garry Nolan's analysis supports his theory, while in fact Nolan concluded, as stated in Greer's actual paper, that the specimen was unquestionably human and was the result of a combination of birth defects, all of which Greer fails to mention in his movie. There is hard science in this documentary, footage and evidence that could be taken seriously in a more serious context, but it's entirely unrelated to the overall spiritual, metaphysical theme and is drowned in an almost religious idiocy and metaphysical posturing. Rather than present any of this information in a lucid manner, Greer would rather talk at length about how remote viewing and meditation helps him feel at one with the universe, and how 'positive emotional energy' will encourage aliens to land and make contact, while the poor scientists he has roped into appearing in this travesty look on awkwardly, probably conscious by the point of filming that their careers will be negatively impacted by this.This movie is a glaring example of all the worst aspects of the disclosure/UFO movement rolled into one mess, and I think Steven Greer needs counseling or at least some kind of mental health assessment.
