mailtrain After reading some negative reviews, I decided to watch this movie for myself. Well, I don't know what they were watching, but what I saw was an extremely well done movie. Great acting and script. I thought it was one of the best Christian theme movies I have ever seen. If you are not a Christian, then you will probably dislike it, because it is based on the Bible.

metalrage666 This will be as brief and as succinct as I can in telling you that this is a complete waste of time.Annoyingly this starts out OK, man driving along on a lonely country road, has car trouble and then encounters something other-worldly and is abducted. Investigative reporters from a small time paper/magazine are dispatched to question all those involved, including a local radar station, some teens, and the alleged abductee himself. Needless to say, no one ends up talking which piques the interest of the editor into believing that there's more to the story, so he sends them back out to keep digging.From there this movie takes a very awkward nosedive from a remotely interesting, yet albeit low budget alien abduction story complete with obligatory visits from the unseen "men- in-black", to a preachy, bible-thumping rap across the proverbial knuckles by trying to tell us that ALL close encounters are nothing more than satanic and/or demonic tricks designed to turn people away from God.So the story in a nutshell is, if you believe in aliens, abductions and all of the trappings that comes with it, you're on a one-way ticket to hell and there's naught you can do about it, so you may as well repent now you lustful, wicked, alien-loving sinners! I can accept that this was going to be low-budget and that the acting, dialogue, effects and overall story were going to be fairly run-of-the-mill and maybe unintentionally hilarious, but to then use it as a vehicle to spread a religious message, which is inaccurate anyway, is setting yourself up for a huge fail. Avoid this.

makthemo I watched this movie after reading the derogatory, bible bashing comments. I cannot believe that anyone could be so shallow to make such bigoted comments on such a well made and original concept of a movie. Anyone with ANY imagination at all could look past what the comments refer to as "propaganda" and see a truly plausible explanation to the ongoing UFO phenomenon.As far as it being a "religious advertisement", it is ridiculous to even make the statement...EVERY movie "advertises something"...EVERY movie has "a message"...why should it not be acceptable here??? These people are just trying to help others to see something that many, many have never considered.I gave the movie a 7 only because of the lack of Christian compassion that was conveyed in the film. It should of been done differently, because the goodness of God, leads people to repentance, not severity.Even with that minor drawback, I still recommend this movie to anyone who has questions regarding UFOs and would like to broaden their understanding. It causes one to really think and question "what is what" in this world we live in!

Transient-Orca 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.
