Very well executed

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This video is definitely entertaining. I enjoyed watching it and the video of the interview is somewhat convincing the alien, to me, looks real.But, I believe that the entire thing is a huge fake. Not the just the video itself, but everything. Rocket Pictures is (was) a real company, but that's the only real part. The whole story is fake. It isn't like someone faked the video and then this Victor guy is acting like he worked at Area 51 and trying to fool Rocket pictures. My theory is that "Victor" doesn't exist. He is an actor. His answers to the questions aren't consistent. And if you watch the version that has the second interview with Victor, he is an entirely different person- meaning the way he acts is entirely different (obviously you don't know if it is or isn't because his identity is concealed). He is much more opinionated and discloses all sorts of information that really doesn't have anything to do with the original interview with the Alien. It all just seemed very theatrical to me. Also the supposed owner of Rocket pictures is not a good actor. He is clearly lying about Victor. He won't hold eye contact with the camera for longer than a fraction of a second. And the story about when Victor first approached him over the phone about the tape he thought it was his brother playing a prank on him just seems a little cheesy and fabricated. The video of the interview itself is pretty neat. Ill admit it had me going for a while, but there are holes there too. Why so dark? Because the alien is sensitive to light but then the "doctors" fix the supposed seizure by shining a light in his eyes and wiping his mouth? And I'm not a video expert but it seems to me that you could change the voices on the tape like they did with victors instead of just deleting them. All in all its pretty entertaining, if nothing else, watch it to decide for yourself. I would love for a real alien video to someday make it out, so I'm not a "skeptic" per say. This isn't it though.

Even though everything about this show is absurd, I still find it funny as hell. I like watching these shows from time to time just to see how people can ignore reality: 1) Why do aliens from a different galaxy or universe than ours and selective pressures look more like us (i.e. hands, head, legs) than we look like most of the creatures on our planet (compare us to squid or a zebra)? 2)Why would an enormously technologically advanced race who is capable of intergalactic space travel just not go undetected while coming here by using nanotechnology or something else entirely rather than being seen by a handful of white people who tend to make less than $40,000 a year? 3) Since we know about area 51 BEING a secret government facility AND they probably test things like NEW AIRCRAFTS, particularly cold war aircrafts AND they would probably test new aircrafts in the desert where most people wouldn't see them AND not denying everything would screw with the Russians' heads into thinking we might have flying saucers that can do this...how do we ignore this reality? Bob flippin' Lazar--that's how! LOL..oh, and a crappy video of my brothers alien costume from two Halloween's ago. The only thing believable about this film is that only the government could possible make such a crappy quality video of an alien...lots of fun though if you are bored.

The company Rocket Pictures DOES exist, they just don't do the production of videos for TV or home video very much at all, if ever anymore..They were on a History Channel Modern Marvels episode showing off transportation gadgets and they own a jet pack that propels people into the air just like the ones you see on TV and in movies..(pretty nice jet pack I might add) but YES, the company exists, just might not be on the web..believe it or not, quite a few local and national companies don't use the web even nowadays.. just too impersonal for them or just too much BS to set up and change their current and established ways..Toodles! (PS I believe, but I don't think they would be as "Intelligent" as they've been made out to be..just different "Intelligence" compared to our "Intelligence"...)so if they are real which I think they are somehow, somewhere..maybe they think of us the same way we think of them..could be a freaking' confusing day if they're made public..NO FLAMERS NOW!

Has been 9 years since the release of this film and to all intensive purposes it's dropped off the radar, even the producers (Rocket films) have deleted the disc from release. This fact does not dilute the impact of the footage. You either accept this person 'Victor' as genuine or not. If you think he's fraudster then you won't give a shred of credence to the alien interview footage he presents. If however you're open minded enough to entertain the possibility that 'Victor' is for real and he has covertly acquired something incredible from the Nevada Groom Lake facility then the footage becomes serious food for thought. IMO the footage is at the very least impressive. Considering it was delivered to the film company in 1996 (before CGI was widespread in Hollywood) the 'interviewee' looks very real and solid. It moves oddly, in a jerky (non puppet) out of time way. I have never seen that movement depicted in any other Hollywood sci-fi flick. The glass partition between interviewer and his subject also made me think this could be real. I doubt fraudsters would have thought of adding this – especially as its so subtle on the film. Overall, I rate this tape much higher than the Santini 'autopsy' from 97. I feel the 'Victor' footage was tainted by that obvious fraud and for that reason has been largely forgotten about. Now we're approaching ten years since this tape was put into the arena I think its time 'Victor' came clean on his identity and told the entire truth. What has he got to lose? Failing that, the mere chance that this footage is not fake is enough to make it highly compelling for some time to come. I recommend this film to anyone who can find a copy to make there own mind up
