UFO (2018)

UFO is a fantastic little movie and it exceeded my expectations! If you are tired of Hollywood blockbusters that are completely over the top with too much violence and themes that are always based on fear, you should appreciate this movie. UFO is a cerebral style film and treats the audience with intelligence for a change. I could actually imagine this movie being turned into a TV series. Very well done. Alex Sharp does a great job in the lead roll. I'm going to add this movie to my "stoners collection".

Fmovies: Boy, I haven't had chills like this since "Contact".

If you like well written movies, movies that leave you on the edge of your seat from the get-go - this is it!

If you like movies that are INTELLIGENT and push the envelope of interesting and well written, this is your movie!

Acting is superb, writing is superb - and content is mesmerizing.

This movie does what so many big budget films want to do at a fraction of the cost!

Do yourself a favor and watch it. You won't be sorry!

UFO is one of those based on a "True Story" movies about UFO sightings and the efforts the governments goes to cover them up.

It tells the story of one man and his obssession with UFO sightings and his determination to get to the truth of a recent sighting over an airport. A maths major he uses his skills to get to the bottom of it, but the "Powers that be" are onto him.

Starring Gillian "X-Files" Anderson this uses a more subtle approach so don't expect big flashy sfx, little green cgi men or anything in between.

Credit where credit is due this is a legitimately intelligent film but alas doesn't really culminate in what you'd expect. Sure it has a traditional beginning, middle and end but it all feels wafer thin and didn't engage me as much as I would have liked.

One for genre fans only methinks.

The Good:

A very smart movie

The Bad:

Everyone looks so damn tired!

Wafer thin plot

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Things like this make me believe in UFO's even less

Gillian Anderson looks like she's been anal probed

UFO fmovies. There's enough of a story here to keep you engaged the entire time. The acting is good, the direction is good, even the math is interesting and I've never passed a math class in my life. Is there room here for a sequel without ruining the original story? I think so. If I had to make one criticism it would be that the movie was too short. I would have watched 3 hours of this if it had meant more details.

This was certainly no big budget Hollywood blockbuster, but a fairly decent and interesting film that held my attention.

It didn't have any action or thrills, but the rather original concept behind a UFO sighting was enough to keep me well interested.

This is novice director and writer Ryan Eslinger's fourth film installment, and he did a very good job.

The score was a little too obvious throughout the entire film, and pausing it in certain scenes would have created better tension for the viewer. The pacing and length were just right. The C & B grade cast performed fairly well, but I feel Alex Sharp should have not been cast as the lead. Perhaps someone more seasoned would have made this film more appealing. It was however a pleasant surprise to see Gillian Anderson a.k.a X-Files' Scully, and she of course nailed her role.

I can see many people slamming this film, especially if they hate math, and because it's not your typical Hollywood production. Had there been narrating, it would have made for a great documentary type film. This felt more like one of those "based on a true story" films. Nothing spectacular, but still interesting enough to watch and make you think.

Nevertheless, still enjoyable and refreshing to see something different, even if not Hollywood-ish. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I see it again? Probably not.

The movie is slow paced, but full of intrigue. It leads you to understand what it takes to report something like this to a world that has become so skeptical and anti UFO. People that can't think past their left thumb seem to be what is called normal these days. And the ending, I will not give it away, gives way to the probability of a sequel. Hoping that is the case. Well done writer, actors, directors on a great movie.
