Interesting story, Lazar is fascinating. But the documentary is edited horribly with painfully Corby narration. The director has awful sections of himself pretending to perform real time phone calls (the doc starts with slo mo footage of himself in flashing pink light...). In one scene, Bob goes into great detail about how the gravity thrusters work, corbell follows up with "so this is an alien ship?"... Great extra insight there

Hands down the worst alien documentary I have ever watched...And I love watching these types of docs...Horrible...Boring...Dont waste your time

Jeremy Cornell should stop making any movies/documentaries. Period. He is a conman masquerading as a director.

1. 5 minutes of director playing with phone 2. Old footage 3. George Knapp at a swimming pool. This is just the first 10 minutes. Want more substance? Listen to Joe Rogans interview of Bob.

At the beginning of this Documentary, narrator Mickey Rourke says "we are the not the stars of our own movie". Unfortunately no one mentioned this to Director/Producer Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell as his presence permeates this movie which is meant to be focused on another man, Bob Lazar. Like many others, I came to this film after watching Lazar's interview with Joe Rogan. He struck me as an intelligent man and a credible source of information. I am not one to dispute what he perceives to be fact, on the contrary I am ready to believe him. It is such a shame then that his story is mishandled in this plodding and frustrating feature. An oppressive synthpop score follows this movie throughout, lending it the feeling of a YouTube video essay. Personal testimony loses its gravitas as Corbell leaves his leading questioning in the scene, removing any sense of serendipity. The narration littered across the run time is reminiscent of a teenagers attempt at a Terrence Malick homage. There is a huge opportunity missed here to present Bob Lazar as patient zero for the wonder surrounding Area 51. Instead we are presented with a random assortment of interviews and found footage as we meander through an hour and a half of scattered information. Corbell has brought very little to this story. He wasn't the person who worked with alien artefacts. He wasn't the investagitive journalist who took a risk on airing the interview, or who researched Lazar's background. By all accounts it seems that Corbell has only brought confusion to a narrative that should be simple. Namely that alien technology exists and the American government is hiding it from the world with the goal of weaponising it for their own gain. Thankfully we have a readily available interview in which Bob Lazar is given the space to recount his story in a structurally sound way. I suggest you find that on YouTube and save yourself the frustration of being treated like a UFO but by watching this self indulgent mishandling of another man's life.

The film didnt give anything for me, nothing new came up that we didnt already know, just an easy way to try to make fast money I feel. I guess its ok for people who never heard Bobs story before, but there are better documentaries out there who brings his story to light. The film was also pretty bad produced, with editing in all the aliens everywhere. Removes the quality and seriousness of this topic.

Some parts of the documentary were cheesy. Was there really a need for the filmmaker to express his ignorance by trying to show depth in prognosticating about the nature of reality? And production value was low as we are made to watch the director and the producer have extended telephone conversations about Bob Lazar. That said, this documentary does feature current interviews with Bob Lazar and allows you the viewer to come to your own conclusions about the man. And the whole point of making this film was to allow viewers to judge for themselves what kind of person Bob Lazar is. He does not come across as one of those self promoting UFO types who will soak up every last drop of attention the rest of the world offers them. Instead, Lazar is presented as someone who might be your nerdy uncle - a little eccentric perhaps but otherwise like everyone else. There were no hard questions asked in this film. For instance, Lazar says he attended MIT and Cal Tech but cannot name a single person whom he went to class with or who taught him nor has anyone stepped forward to say they remember him from his time there. The filmmakers did proffer some support by saying that they interviewed people who say that they dropped off Lazar at these institutions and makes the point that if these people were telling the truth, then either Lazar went to MIT and Cal Tech or was making one hell of a show of it. Lazar also stuck to his story in the face of a criminal conviction even though both MIT and Cal Tech have gone on record stating that Lazar never attended. While it is possible that Lazar was ghosted in order to discredit him, it is still very odd that no one who attended MIT or Cal Tech can corroborate his claim. The point was gently raised but Lazar was never challenged and was instead allowed to brush aside the issue by asserting that the importance of what he had to reveal about Area 51 has nothing to do with his academic credentials. Lazar must have had his conditions before agreeing to the interview, not answering questions that might have been uncomfortable could have been one. Is Robert Lazar telling the truth about aliens in S4 of Area 51? While he does not seem to be a conman, at least not one who has made a nice bundle from peddling his story, not everything he says is logically consistent. For instance, he tells us that the state of physics today does not understand how gravity is generated, which is true; and yet later in the film he goes on to speculate how the alien technology he purportedly studied uses a gravitational field to create propulsion. Does Bob Lazar know something about gravity that the best minds do not? If you are looking for more tidbits about what Bob Lazar had to say about Area 51 then there is nothing new here. In fact, the same old footage from 1989 is used to tell viewers what he had to say. What is new is that this is a current interview of Bob Lazar and it is the closest most of us will ever get to knowing the man.

For about three decades nobody has tripped Bob Lazar up. He's been through the ringer. When I watched this documentary, I felt he was being truthful. The important part about this film is not the production quality or the special effects, or background music, it's whether you believe Bob Lazar or not. I do.
