I can't quite say if I enjoyed this movie or not. I initially wanted to see it because of it starring Robin Williams. (RIP) But then I saw the rest of the cast listing and was locked in on my decision. However, the movie itself left me with a mix of emotions. For a movie staring two hilarious actors, Hale and Williams, the mood was just a little too serious throughout. And even the humor was clouded in a way by something more depressing. There were funny parts to be sure, but it wasn't nearly as funny as I'd have hoped for. The storyline was decent except for the underlying current of utter despair that simply oozed out of this movie's pores. So, yeah, not my favorite movie by any means, but it had its moments. I'm really sad to think of it as being the last one we'll get from the great Robin Williams. I was hoping for something at the end of the credits, and in that I was not disappointed. The dedication to Williams was very touching and sweet.

Blair Witch Alien Style
13 November 2014
This movie was terrible. I love a good alien flick, and this new "found footage" styling has its merits, but only when done well. This movie was neither entertaining or exciting. There were a couple of almost moments; however, it was mostly just a lot of waiting around for something to happen. There's a plot, but it's weak. There's an underlying element of alien spookiness, but it never really gets played out well. From the home camera footage to the lack of any real story within the plot to the overly anti-climatic ending, I basically kept thinking to myself it was like watching the travesty of the Blair Witch Project all over again. Except only with the hint of alien flair.
