Quotes

David Sereda: 2001 was a real space odyssey for me. Instead of flying on a spaceship to the moon, Jupiter, or beyond the solar system, I met Dan Aykroyd for the first time to talk about UFOs. That's when I knew I had to sit him down in front of the camera and just let him talk about the truth. Because if I didn't no one would believe we had this amazing conversation. One time I had this long conversation with Dan Aykroyd about UFOs, and I thought it was like Einstein was hiding inside of a comic genius, just...

Interesting concept but poorly made

I was excited to finally see Dan Aykroyd talk about UFOs, his opinions, etc. I've been a fan of his with his outspokenness about UFOs. This movie had a lot of elements that were interesting and the videos and archive footage were great for showing some type of evidence. However, the way the movie was setup with the interviewer and Dan Akyroyd just didn't work. They had a lot of data for this movie but the way it was displayed was a big old mess. They kept showing the same videos throughout the movie. I wish they would have elaborated more on Dan Aykroyd's view of the credibility of some of the videos/pictures they had shown (exp. Billy Meier).

I think it had the potential to be one of the better documentaries about UFOs; unfortunately, it was poorly made and constructed. The camera angles between the interviewer and Dan Aykroyd were awkward and if anything, for a skeptic to watch, that dynamic in itself I felt lacked credibility to their overall opinions. It is worth seeing, but I wish it was made better. Dan..if you want to make another UFO documentary, look me up, I can do better ;)
