The one promise the film makes is that it will present its case, and this it certainly does, in a generally persuasive manner. Go to Full Review

No more than a pretty documentary travelogue with metaphysical pretensions. Go to Full Review

They don't make films like this anymore, and we should be glad for that. Go to Full Review

10/17/2021 A 1970's documentary that serves as the likely inspiration for much of ‘Ancient Aliens.' I wasn't going to review this, I don't usually review documentaries, but this was more interesting than a lot of other films I have reviewed. Does it prove anything? No, not really. It's still just someone's word but if just some of it is true and accurate.... then we're best to assume everything we know and have been taught is a lie. See more @Blobbo 08/26/2020 Aggravatingly speculative. Still, interesting and - in most cases, still unanswered - questions are raised.. Annoying but interesting on a slow day.. See more 03/26/2016 It's so old and dated and the lame soundtrack is warped, yet I still enjoy this documentary because it's so awful See more 02/27/2016 good doc and one of the first I saw that got me into documentaries See more bill t @Spuzz 11/02/2015 Like an extended "In Search Of..." (look it up), this "documentary" goes all over the world and finds weird phenomena, and asks how were these created? They usually have the option of space creatures, but just as an option, because you know, journalistic integrity. Interesting to see the sites, but it does get repetitious. See more 02/09/2013 I can get on board with the hypothesis that if the Pacific islanders built model aircraft to try to lure the planes back, then ancient humans could have done the same for extraterrestrial visitors. There is no evidence to support this whatsoever, but Daniken and this documentary don't stop there. No, they show pictures of monuments and things, tell us they're space men or whatever, then cut away to more monuments, whereas in a real documentary about plausible theories they would have offered, you know, an explanation. Repeat ad nauseam. See more Read all reviews
