The Good: Couple of interesting ideas Nice monologue The Bad: Ultimately about themes that people in real life take too seriously Hardly engaging stuff Documentarian get's really annoying A sort of 'found footage' style film - although it presents itself as a re-enactment of actual events instead of being found footage, it is all still filmed through a hand held camera. I never believed in that until I started watching this,. Is he a crazy old man or is there something to his claims? Also, don't be fooled by the poster - it has no bearing on the film at all! Watched about 15 minutes before swearing and turning it off. Like many people, Tom Keating thought that those things were the product of delusional minds and crackpots and was a skeptic himself until he met Spencer, a real Man in Black who was an elite insider who reveals on his death bed the horrifying truth to the Alien Agenda. I thought it was well done, acting was convincing enough to start to put the seeds of truth in your head and then you feel them grow.
Alien Overlords is filmed in a faux documentary format following a conspiracy theorist who claims to have evidence of government conspiracies and the infamous men in black. I have started watching this movie 3 times for the first 5 minutes, then turned it off, the 4th time, I stuck with it, I am glad I did, for a faux documentary style which I normally hate, this turned out to be one of the better and convincing faux I have seen in a good while. After Spencer passes on, Tom is compelled to reveal to the world a dire warning to mankind of the pending danger from an elite organization that rules every aspect of Human Activity. . Like many people, Tom Keating thought that those things were the product of delusional minds and crackpots and was a skeptic himself until he met Spencer, a real Man in Black who was an elite insider who reveals on his death bed the horrifying truth to the Alien Agenda. Looking at the cover of Alien Overlords you'd likely make some assumptions right? I usually like these conspiracy films, but the way it was shot and the charecters were real flimsy and I found myself hating the main charecter. It's the sort of thing someone would make that wanted to underhandedly ridicule conspiracy movies.
As a huge fan of documentaries, this had me thinking, with the great acting from the main character you really start to believe what he is saying until a third character then starts to make you think again. Saved from a 1 star by the final 30 minutes which manages to bring some mystery and tension to it but it's too little and too late and the twist at the end was seen coming halfway through. The acting actually isn't so bad but it's just really slow for the most part as we are largely just watching someone tell a story about what is going on in their life with regard to the conspiracy he is trying to expose rather than watching the events unfold ourselves. Get past the first 10 minutes and maybe you will thinking to yourself as Mulder once did 'I want to believe. Like many people, Tom Keating thought that those things were the product of delusional minds and crackpots and was a skeptic himself until he met Spencer, a real Man in Black who was an elite insider who reveals on his death bed the horrifying truth to the Alien Agenda.
After Spencer passes on, Tom is compelled to reveal to the world a dire warning to mankind of the pending danger from an elite organization that rules every aspect of Human Activity. I see the appeal of this, for those who adore real documentaries about similar themes and those who enjoy the X-files. You know the saying, that watching motion pictures make you literally dumb? This is my first review ever, never felt the need to bother with it, but i just had to get it off my chest. It follows the wacky conspiracy theory spouting man around as he begins to question everything and everyone around him. The rants and conspiracies that you will hear are generally the classics from chemtrails to the government poisoning the water for population control, all head scratchingly silly stuff that scarily countless people believe.
Let me start right off the bat saying that it's not and it's one of the most deceptive movie covers I've seen in months. After Spencer passes on, Tom is compelled to reveal to the world a dire warning to mankind of the pending danger from an elite organization that rules every aspect of Human Activity.
