Review of UFO

UFO (2021)
4/10
U(F)O: Frustrating, Filler, & Failure
21 August 2021
This documentary caught my eye on an Instagram ad - it looked exciting, like it might advance the UFO narrative in some way with more recent footage & evidence - and it has J. J. Abrams'/BadRobot name on it.

Sadly, none of those hopes and dreams came to fruition. As with most UFO documentaries, you are left sitting there scratching your head, or throwing your hands in the air.

Kudos to the graphics and animation team for all of the infographics and all the animated text highlighting of government documents, news articles, and book excerpts.

Congrats to the video archivists who carefully recycle the same blurry stock footage repeatedly over the course of a 4 hour documentary.

Much gratitude to the cinematographer who kept the camera shaking and filled with artificial lens flares.

The empty office building where they filmed some of the interviews added so much mystery and suspense.

If it weren't for the interview with the former Governor of AZ, and the Phoenix Lights story, it would have been a complete wash.

This is 4 hours of clickbait & fluff. I can't believe J. J. Abrams put his name on it. Skip it.
