This fact-based documentary examines humankind's efforts to communicate with intelligent beings beyond our solar system.
Philip Gardiner, O.H. Krill, J. Michael Long.
Alien Contact: Outer Space presents some interesting information and facts regarding probes and satellites we have sent, their demise, and on signals received here on Earth. The evidence itself is enough to generate questions, but the film instead begins to interject bits of conspiracy theories and even goes so far as to say our inability to communicate with aliens is due to our spiritual ignorance. At that point this one starts to look less like a documentary and more like a conspiracy theory with the remainder of the film being largely conjecture.
Narration was good. The Narrator did a great job of sounding ominous and unquestioned.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are decent. Much of this one is CGI which is reasonably well done. Sound and soundtrack sound appropriately dark and intense.
While Alien Contact: Outer Space may present some interesting information and indeed be factual at times, as a whole this one felt less like a documentary and more like an alien conspiracy theory film. Those interested in a more scientific or factual approach to the subject of aliens will likely be disappointed. Likewise, those who believe aliens are already on Earth, are watching, or experimenting on humans should enjoy this one.
Nothing here to limit audience age.
