Wow... just... wow. There are a lot of reviews on this movie already but I wanted to add some comments of my own. I agree with most reviewers who have said this movie has terrible acting, writing, and directing - whoo boy does it ever. However, I think there is some other problems here.1. Why is Christian belief and the allowance for extraterrestrial life mutually exclusive? The film acts as though you just can't be a Christian and also allow for the possibility? Why? They ever-so-briefly touch on this in the film (i.e. "The Bible doesn't say there is aliens." "Well, the Bible doesn't say there isn't.), but the actual rebuttal is never answered. The Bible really doesn't say there isn't. So how about dealing with the question instead of dismissing it out of hand? Or better yet, acknowledge that this is an infinite universe we live in and if we believe in an infinite God there is the possibility that he made some other life somewhere and has his own plans for them.2. How come the ONLY two explanations for the abductions that are valid are demons and hoax? What about sleep paralysis and night terrors which have been linked to abduction experiences? What if it's something else entirely? Too bad the film makers already have their minds made up.3. The film makers claim that all who have had abduction experiences have had ties to the occult. That's a pretty big claim to make without any factual evidence to present. I'm not necessarily arguing that they don't, but if you're going to say something so asinine you'd better have the facts to back it up.4. Why does the other reporter (not the Greasy Haired Blonde Guy, the other one) always have his hands in his pockets? It's hard to take someone seriously when they're constantly playing pocket pool.I WISH this had been an exploration of Christian faith and UFO phenomena, but unfortunately the film makers were too concerned with their "Faith Message" to care much about make a thought provoking movie. As a Christian myself, this saddens me.

I am giving it a 10 just to offset all of the extremely low ratings by people who misunderstood and/or were offended by this movie. This is NOT a UFO movie people. If you want to call it "Christian propaganda", fine. Yes, it is an evangelistic Christian movie designed to get people thinking and talking about the Bible and spiritual matters. In that respect, it was one of the best movies I have seen, even better than the Billy Graham films. I am not exactly sure what a "mainline Christian" is, as one person commented, but this movie was intended to plant the seeds of Truth in the hearts of anyone who will listen with an open mind. (I assume that a mainline Christian is someone who says they believe in God but does not have a personal relationship with Jesus) I read the book "Communion" a long time ago when I was a "mainline Christian" - before I was born again. It scared the heck out of me. The devil used that book to plant fear in my heart and to distract me from the Truth. This movie attempts to expose the lies that Satan uses to keep people from hearing the Truth about Jesus. It's really simple. If you don't believe it, investigate for yourself. I challenge anyone to find a born again Christian who has seen a UFO or been abducted by aliens. There aren't any, because once you have the Light of Christ, all the dark lies of Satan are exposed.

In reading the reviews of this movie, I think many folks really rated it more poorly than it deserves. I think the sci-fi folks are, for the most part, anti-Christian and REALLY hated that the movie didn't have the godless freak appeal of their usual fare. Now, don't get me wrong, this is no timeless treasure. It is clearly from a Christian perspective....and a pre-tribulation rapture of the church version at that.It was sci-fi lite, which is good for me. I liked the new twist on why these "abductions" & appearances were happening. It was different. Alas, if you are a hard-core sci-fi person who BELIEVES in UFO's and/or bigfoot... you will probably be offended by this movie even suggesting that you may be influenced by demons..... which you probably are.

My mom and I, rented this movie. I mean, we love those type of Sci-Fi flicks, whether they be big Hollywood flicks or Indy flicks.But oh, we were fooled!! Two journalists are investigating a UFO abduction in a small city in Texas. Halfway through, all the sudden things get all christain on us. My mom and I believe in god and Jesus and the Devil, but the way this movie was preaching it, made it annoying. All I really have to say, is that we are Christian, but even we like to have fun. So don't blame christians as a whole, just blame the christians who need to suck the fun out of this movie.In fact you can clearly understand the directors stance on UFO's, and that is that he believes it is all demonic. Now, i could say some words, but I will not. All I will say is, that DO NOT WATCH this movie, unless you feel like being preached. In fact many times it states that we must be perfect in order to enter heaven. Well, last time I checked, the only perfect person died on a cross.
