ksf-2 SPOILERS -- Some beautiful scenes of England at the opening credits... sunrises, countryside, and Stonehenge. Ostensibly the story begins by talking about those durn crop circles, which have dubious origins and explanations, but a title card says "This story is about what happened next." Director Charles Maxwell narrates and talks about researching the early occurrences. They also spend a couple minutes talking about the connection to the circular earth pyramid at Silbury Hill. Apparently, www.English-heritage.org.UK/visit/places/silbury-hill/ was an ancient chalk formation, perhaps a religious symbol or energy source, way back in England's history, similar to Stonehenge. About an hour in, the path switches to building an actual 3D object from the one dimensional lines in the farm field, which looks like a space craft, or UFO, which they call sweet potato. Nikola Romanski used CAD software to draw it out, and then machinery to build parts for the "object". This is where it gets interesting. The film was on a very low simmer until this point. Assembly, curing, and much discussion of deadlines. There is good news, and bad news at the conclusion, sort of a mixed result. Running out of time and money, the last stop is in Hawaii, where another guy has been inspired to try to create objects from the crop circles, if he can raise the funds. I'm guessing that when he does raise the money, Maxwell will be there to film it. The first hour could have been edited to a more interesting 30 minutes, but it kind of gets going for the second hour.

Graeli Veintemilla Great effort trying to show what might be behind the circles that appear on the fields near a small pyramid at the south of England. Thanks to this documentary I could come up with the answer. It's my perception. The circles are done by the planet itself, by mother earth herself and she is showing that the gadget we have to create, cultivate and take care of is ourselves. You can see the figure of a human being in the figures appearing on the fields. The energy they are talking about is in this precious machine already built called human being. The answer is in ourselves not outside. A human being is rounded, when sitting down in meditation position, he becomes a pyramid with six circles showing eternity, no limitations, no laws. Thank you for this documentary and for showing that the most important was the people involved in it and the transformation Nikola had is important to the extent the others respected and accepted that transformation. It is time to cultivate ourselves to get to extend ourselves to maturity.

minch007 I like a film that makes you think... though its hard to know just what to think of this film and its subject matter, its power is in not letting you make up your mind too easily. Before I say what I think of its subject, I'll say its an entertaining film that most people would enjoy, even if they decide that the protagonists are simply nutters (as one of Charles' friends suggests). No doubt they put genuine and considerable effort in trying to turn a theory into a reality, and its inspiring to watch this. Their efforts are compared with those of the Wright brothers and with Edison in taking a leap of faith to venture into new fields of science and technology, despite the high risk of failure and the scepticism of others. They are inspired by the designs that appear in crop fields, so the title alludes both to these mysterious phenomena, and the attempt to open up new fields in science. All inventions are inspired by thinking outside the box, they require leaps of faith, and their success is often due to a mixture of persistence and fortuitous accident. The potential of many discoveries and inventions is not realised until much later. Charles and Nikola attempt something so inspired, daring and original, so far beyond our existing technology, that their results should be interpreted in that light. If you gave the ancient Romans a blueprint for creating a helicopter, do you think they could build a working model? I hope this review inspires you to watch this film, its the best I've seen for a while, and it may just make you wonder as well...

Melissa Field I saw this on Netflix and was curious, as it gives the same blurb it does here. I'm not an avid crop circle researcher, so you're if you're looking for an expose on crop circles, aliens and everything in between, this isn't for you. The film begins with some interesting facts on the crop circle phenomena, especially in regards to hoaxers. There are definite hoaxers, but there are also things they showed that cannot be hoaxed nor explained.As the story went on what really drew me in was the human interest part of it. The director, Charles Maxwell, was as much a part of this story as he was the one creating it. I really admired his courage to go all in and see just where this was all leading. He became friends with a transsexual, and despite judgment and criticism from his friends, began to build with this woman what might be the secret the crop circles were trying to share. I was really rooting for Charles and Nikola and extremely curious what would happen when their invention was built. Mixed in with this are stories on Nikola and how those closest to her feel about her transition.I won't tell you what happens in the end. I will only say that Charles is what I would call a dreamer, and it's the dreamers who bring about the most important and revolutionary changes in this world. They also tend to face the roughest path as those who don't believe in their vision want to hold them back. What if what Charles and Nikola built really is a glimpse of future technology? What if it really is something that historians will look back on and say, "Thank God they tried that." We'll never know. All I do know is, the world needs more people like Charles and Nikola. People who will put what society says is rationale aside, knowing full well they could fail, to take a chance on something that expands all of our minds. Charles and Nicola, I salute you. You're two people who won't have to die with regret and the wonder, "What if I'd not cared what people would say and just went for it? What if I'd tried? What if...."All in all, a movie I would recommend to anyone. Some will like the crop circle stuff, others will like the personal aspects. And some might even get inspired like me.
