For all the good the film does, it may not do enough to draw in a new audience. Things often grind to a halt and Moment to Contact is littered with odd choices. The subject is interesting, but the missteps along the way are hard to ignore. Go to Full Review

henry b @henryboxer 19h Very biased film, documentary. No real evidence, and most of the sightings, esp the Varhinha episode have now been discounted as false. I found the whole film rather amateurish, just a compilation of hear-say and not much else to add to this fascinating subject. You'd think that if any UFO's did land or if there were actual crashed objects of alien origin there would be compeling evidence out there. Sadly I am not convinced by this nonsense, just a fairy tale that it would great if true. The internet and social media is alive with false claims. Just watch it for a bit of light entertainment that has sadly no real depth See more Sharon R Nov 27 I hadn't heard of this film/documentary, it hasn't been as well publicized here in the UK. The film was well researched, there wasn't actual physical evidence, this came from the many credible witnesses they had found. Their stories were compelling, and believable. The subject is of keen interest by people around the world, and is becoming more so; this film fills the need for more information however old it is. The only negative I found was that parts were repetitive - but did drive home the points. All in all, an excellent film which I would highly recommend.

It is not the groundbreaking world altering information people expect, and that is completely fine. The strength of this documentary is not in shocking revelations but in how the story is told. The storytelling and the framing carry it. It keeps you pulled in, it keeps the mystery alive, and it treats the subject with enough respect to make it feel worth the time. Not life changing, but definitely solid. See more May 30 Ok so the interviews are quite compelling but wheres the evidence? No pictures .. nothing . See more Kayla M Mar 6 Absolutely the BEST documentary I’ve ever seen! See more leni o 09/22/2024 I think the film is being misclassified. It is an informative documentary that describes a real incident in Brazil that happened exactly as it was and there is no doubt about it! The problem is also that the people making the assessment are people who do not know the background or the course of events, with all the different witnesses who remained silent for a long time and who even today have to be dragged out of every single word!
