    A predictable cliche but it's okay overall
    This film seems to be an attempt to give a more "realistic" portrayal of alien encounters and Men In Black (well I say "realistic" because the proof is still lacking).

    It certainly targets to people (such as myself) who have a strong interest in UFOlogy, aliens, MIBs, the real X files etc.

    It's not a bad film but not a great film. It's rather predictable throughout because it has all the cliches that we've learnt from the X Files and tv shows about aliens abductions.

    It is not a bad movie to watch if you are reading a book, playing the guitar or doing something else while it's on.

    The ending pleasantly and enjoyably excessive but I guess a film needs some sort of closure.

    There was a lot of talent that was wasted on this film. Both Dean Stockwell and Sherilyn Fenn have made much better films.
