A great follow-up to CMI's film, Evolution's Achilles' Heels. This picture went to the next level in cinematography. Loved the original score and the original animations. Roswell hype answered (which was great), but not all encounters are chalked up to natural phenomena/mistaken identity. The interviews with experts and researchers were helpful, and the interviews with 'experiencers' toward the end were emotional and compelling. My parents, aunt, and uncle also loved the film and have ordered the DVD.

This movie isn't about proving that the UFO phenomenon is real, so much as providing an answer to aspects of it that do appear to be real. I've been interested in the phenomenon since I was a child in the 60s and 70s and there were several UFO "flaps" or excitement over a number of sightings. I noticed early on that the phenomenon seemed to be polarizing -- the experts seemed to fall into one of two camps: 1) True Believers who seemed to accept everything hook, line, and sinker, and often expanded the accounts to include widespread, amazing conspiracies and incredible levels of alien presence and collusion with governments -- and made lots of money with books. 2) Total Debunkers who denied that there was anything at all unusual going on, just perhaps some rare but known phenomena -- swamp gas, mass hallucinations, nightmares, maybe ball lightning. Mostly they seemed to just read reports second-hand and insert such "explanations" for anything and everything and assume that was that. They probably didn't make as much money on books, but one or two did write books and frequently appeared as "experts" in TV coverage and documentaries. Both camps seemed to be wearing blinders, dismissing some things that shouldn't be easily dismissed while accepting what they wanted no matter what. However, I noticed two of the researchers who were highly qualified and did extensive, close research changed their views over time and came to a third, arguably more balanced view: in rare cases, the phenomena was real, not like ordinary known natural phenomena, but also that they didn't fit any conceivable visitation by aliens or humans from the future. Perhaps this is just another form of biased conclusion, but it seems more reasonable to me than the first two, and this movie gives a good introduction with a number of reasons for rejecting the extreme views and goes further, pointing to facts which make the most sense if there are some real phenomena which are caused by neither aliens nor known natural forces. It does however, accept the explanation that the Roswell "crashed UFO" was a Cold War listening device and weather balloon, and that most of the cases have natural explanations. Personally, I suspect the whole story is a bit more complex, with secret government experimental projects playing a larger role than this movie suggests, but overall I think it does a service in presenting a different way of looking at the subject. You may not agree with the final answer that is presented for the cases that go beyond easy explanation by natural events, but if you've only known one or both of the first two views, you really should check this out and at least allow your mind to ponder that there may be "...more things in heaven and earth, ...Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (Hamlet, by Shakespeare, as if you didn't know).

If you've read the Amazon bestselling book by Gary Bates, Alien Intrusion: UFOs and the Evolution Comnection, you will pretty much know what to expect in this film. It's basically a propaganda film for the Demonic Hypothesis of UFO.The movie, like the book it was based on, really didn't dig too deep into what Christians have historically believed on the subject of extraterrestrials. It falsely states that the idea of extraterrestrial life is founded in science fiction, even though Christian theologians have been discussing aliens and their implications since the Middle Ages, well before the advent of the scifi genre.Being a creationist film, there was an obligate aside into refuting the Big Bang theory, evolution, and abiogenesis, followed by a brief look at undirected and directed panspermia (the idea that life came from space, either accidentally or on purpose).There is a good deal of discussion on why faster-than-light travel is impossible, negating the idea of extraterrestrial visitation. The film suggest that the tyranny of interstellar distance will remain an unsolvable problem because, well, physics. Viewers will likely find the section on the Roswell crash dissatisfying if they're expecting more than pat answers. This was disappointing because the book actually goes into much more detail and shows a much better grasp of the complexity of the investigation of the alleged crash.The quality of the film was at least as good as the Ancient Aliens series. The special effects were really good. I think that if the documentary had been more self-aware and less preachy, it could have been a little more entertaining and much more effective. To be honest, it started dragging somewhere in the Second Act.The Third Act is about the abduction phenomenon. Through selective quotations of UFO experts, particularly of John Keel and Jacques Vallee, the Extra-dimensional Hypothesis is equated as being a sort of secular version of the Demonic Hypothesis. These so-called aliens are just the demons and fairies of bygone days with a technological varnish. Given the traumatic nature of abduction experiences, the New Age teachings associated with them, and the fact that abduction experiences can be stopped in the name of Jesus, the filmmakers conclude that the Devil is behind the UFO phenomenon.The movie doesn't seem to know how to end. The last 10 to 15 minutes are just cringe-worthy with how repetitious it becomes. There's a lot of fast and loose quotation of scripture that we hadn't really seen to this point. It was obvious that they were trying to shoehorn some sort of Gospel message into this conclusion of theirs but it ended somewhat garbled and mixed in with their message of deliverance from alien abduction.If you stay past the decidedly brief credits (and you will because the special effects are really cool), you can watch a panel discussion between Robert Carter, Joe Jordan and Gary Bates that adds nothing to the movie itself.All in all, Alien Intrusion: Unmasking the Deception was, well, predictable. If you read the book, you've seen the movie and vice versa. The film is undeniably a propaganda piece for the Demonic Hypothesis of UFO. It will convince people who want pat answers from Christian experts on a decidedly weird subject they would prefer remain far from the stained-glass glow of their pews. It will reassure Christians who stopped researching after the Christian ufologists of the 1970s connected the subject, for better or for worse, with the Satanic Panic. Having said that, I sincerely hope that some of these experiencers find deliverance through the name of Jesus. It doesn't have to be demons for Jesus to save you from it.

The movie starts out with some interesting footage of "unexplained stuff" and for the first hour is alright.But it turns for the worst and tries to implant the seed of Christianity and continues like this for an hour until the end they go full Bible thumper like one guy said. I believe they are just trying to get people to correlate unknown things to demons that only Christianity and Jesus can solve.If you wanted a UFO Christianity movie, here it is. If you are solely a UFO fanatic, this movie is definitely not for youThis movie isn't unmasking a deception, this movie was built on deception
