Fastwalkers

Yikes
This one absolutely does not earn five stars. Here's why:

Its attempts to portray itself as a serious documentary left me scratching my head. While it includes interviews from well-known and respected UFO investigators, self-proclaimed abductees, and military personnel, the film is pieced together in a way that seems at best amateurish.

The reenactments are the high point of the filmmakers' additions to the documentary. But it doesn't take an expert to notice the interviews seem to be spliced together in ways that make little sense; choppy cuts from one topic to another draw the audience's attention to the inconsistent sound levels in a way that's distracting (sometimes the film's soundtrack drowns out the narration, and sometimes it stops abruptly in the middle of an interview, etc).

If your film is loaded with explosive information to which you feel the public should have access, don't just count on the interviews to tell the story. You have to...

Most annoying soundtrack ever!
Twice I've tried to watch this documentary which has good content, but for some reason the director chose to have annoying, repetitive and shrill techno music playing over the interviews, rendering the speakers almost inaudible in comparison. a very frustrating experience.
EDIT: I watched it on my tv instead of on my laptop and was able to adjust the sound so you could actually hear what the speakers are saying. It's actually a very good documentary, with many credible witnesses and pieces of evidence. I still found the soundtrack obtrusive, and the host hilariously stiff on camera, but other than that, one of the best UFO docs I've seen.

Devolves into drivel
Steven Greer is to be commended for producing some very interesting documentaries about UFO's. This one starts out as being somewhat interesting because we see some great UFO videos for the first half hour. I personally don't get tired of watching these.

But later on, we have some author comparing the UFO phenomenon with Genesis. Again. We tiresomely hear, again, that UFO's have been sighted for thousands of years on earth, and again, the mindless Bible quotes that supposedly prove that our Biblical ancestors witnessed UFO's. At this point it becomes
a sedative for me. How disappointing this was.

There are a couple of very believable U.S. Navy pilots describing encounters with UFO's that tailed their jets. There are several retired military bigshots who know about the UFO coverup. This part is compelling.

Then we get the authors who want to sell their books, and they expound on a variety of crackpot theories mixed with religiosity without...
