0 Stars - WOW, and yes I did watch the whole thing. It was what I'd expected, but Ken Ham, (Queensland Institute of Technology (B.AS.) University of Queensland) the guy who built the Ark reproduction has a better scam. (u mm... I meant science) I DARE you to watch this and tell me I am wrong! The "Nano-scientist," (just listed as Christoper C. in the credits,) was some guy in a shed, looking up information from a high school level textbook, "Modern Physics" by Hans C Ohanian (1986), and yes I looked it up, but by using Google, along with an old classroom size periodic table. Believe it or NOT! As far I could tell, there were only to people that had degrees at all in this film, the main character Roger Krevin Leir, graduated with a bachelor's degree in Science from the University of Southern California in 1961, qualifying as a podiatrist three years later. I could not find any advance degree listed, my guess is to "qualify" in 1961 as a podiatrist was not as rigorous, but I'm not sure why one would not flaunt your credentials a bit. The surgeon who actually performed the operation was only listed as Dr. Matrisciano. Boy, was it hard to find him! Doing an in-depth Google search, it was hard to really link the doctors together, go figure! In the movie, Dr. Matrisciano explicitly states "just some small foreign object. I just removed it, up to the tests to see what it is" In the one and only Google article I could find to tell me who/if he was a real doctor stated; ""Dr. John D, Matrisciano. "I know nothing about UFOs or implants," Dr. Matrisciano said after the operation, "but I think that's what is needed in this case; to be objective."" The article also makes it clear this was Matriscianos' first operation done for Leir. Dr. John D, Matrisciano still seems to be working in Thousand Oaks California, and has what someone would expect to find, some link to credentials. Well there, my guess is I spent more time researching this online than any of the above spent on contemplating how silly they all appear in the film. Or maybe they just wanted a quick buck, and thought anyone that matters would never see the film?

The topic is fascinating however the was was executed with many directive and design flaws that didn't work for me and brings to little to the table. Also needs more background information on both technical (eg isotopic count) and the given subject. Instead the film was stretched with overly long scenes that are neither interesting nor informative, It completely fails when it tries to be emotional or dramatic. I would not want to be in a documentary made by this director.

I was entertained by it but don't expect the holy grail of information. I've followed the doctor's work for a while and always found it fascinating, I was hoping for something more I suppose. Still, this was leaps and bounds beyond other similar UFO/Alien themed documentary if you ask me. If you have some spare time, give it a go.. That's essentially what I did. I wouldn't mind a follow up honestly, I still can't see giving it beyond a score of 3

This is a pretty amazing presentation of a taboo topic. Take a good look and don't conclude. Any conclusion, if you need one, has to be choice-less. Analysis of half of anything stops the investigation. Don't shut this out, just include. If you thinks this material adds up to "aliens" then you are concluding, too early, based on fear and hope. Just observe and don't conclude. Don't stop observing. Consciousness is fathomless, and is not a thing, made up of 30 something isotopes. No objects, no subjects. Good luck!

I was really disappointed with this documentary, as was my partner. Promised to lead us down a path of discovery only to constantly hit dead ends. There was no balanced argument, and out of the whole 80 something minutes about 5 of those were interesting. Nah, there's much much better documentaries covering this subject area out there.

Just WOW how people "analyze" this movie and start throwing dirt at it and its involved persons. Does it matter Steve was "suspicious of involvement" in the Oklahoma bombings? Was he he judged? I mean if he would have been involved in the bombings i still don't see what the hell it has to do with this movie? So whenever someone is starting throwing dirt on someone it makes me even more curious. Evidence? May i add a whole world fell for the "WMD" tale which destroyed Iraq at the end, without any "source" given, just presenting a small bottle of "something" and claiming to have "information of we cant talk about where it came from"? But when it comes to feel very uncomfortable about something that simply shouldn't exists people start fighting against it... I don't know whats wrong with people rating it 1 star. The shots, the presentation, narration and the topic is beyond 1 star. You don't have to believe but at least respect the work and have some empathy for the involved persons. i gave it a 10 star because the ratings are not fair overall. I have seen my self flying saucers and UFO´s and i don't give a flying big f what other people trying to tell me what i saw. So for me i am open minded and i think there is something into it, not just because this movie, because there are enough books and testimonies about this matter and saying they re all delusional or fantasy is an offense to the intelligence and credibility.

This movie presents "evidence" that is never documented, makes claims that have no support in science, and the "scientists" who speak in favor of the supposedly alien device do not identify their full names. Nor do they supply the scientific formulae which would show the device has isotopes that do not exist on earth. The whole thing is wishful thinking disguised as investigative reporting. The party who will not release the device once extracted is apparently the patient himself, it seems. Yet no reporter asks him, "How come you won't tell us where the device is so we can examine it to see if the claims you and your medical team are making are true?"

A very good documentary. I personally liked a number of things that made it stand out from others (in the UFO) field. The back ground look into the Dr Roger Leir for example, showed him not only as a doctor, but also took us into some of his personal life. His love of music which i didn't know about . This only added to realness of the subject matter. I also thought that the camera and editing was good. Always kept your attention without being annoying. The Patient himself was also likable but more importantly, believable. Very glad i watched it.

This is the worst "documentary" I have ever seen. I would rather have actually been abducted by aliens and implanted than to have watched this garbage. This might as well have been made by a couple of 14 year olds equipped with an iphone. The most scientific aspect of the entire film was when "Steve the scientist" (in his personal laboratory that looks like a renovated outhouse) pulled out his periodic table of elements to intrepret the alleged data; but what really puts this film over the edge of barely tolerable is the narration by the film maker himself. Terrible.
