With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for fans of close encounters and people who need a good giggle. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. Shelve it next to Roger & Me.
- The mood
- Light and funny, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 48 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Baldwin’s “pseudo-pseudo-documentary” presents a factual chronicle of US intervention in Latin America in the form of the ultimate conspiracy theory, combining covert action, environmental catastrophe, space aliens, cattle mutilations, killer bees, religious prophecy, doomsday diatribes, and just about every other crackpot theory broadcast through the dentures of the modern paranoiac.
