Alien Contact: Outer Space (2017 Video) User Reviews

Amazing

[BandSAboutMovies · 5/10 · 16 February 2022]

Stock footage combines with droning narration to create the kind of movie that I love most, one that somehow brings Tesla, the sound of the planets and numbers stations all into one sprawling narrative that just bombards you with facts. Space probes getting pictures of UFOs? Yeah, that's in here as well. This is the kind of thing I put on and drop out of reality with, the kind of magic narrative that I wish the world was like instead of the sad cloud of bile that I cough through every day. Normal people will be bored by this. I am not normal.

Unbelievably bad. Really.

[ander5151 · 1/10 · 22 January 2018]

I never thought I'd dislike something so much as to give it a one-star rating, but in this case I had no choice. This "documentary" is little more than a string of stock-footage and public-domain shots of rotating radio telescopes, NASA control rooms, TV-news animation backgrounds and home-brew CGI, with a droning voice-over that could've been---and probably was---compiled by lurking around a few of the cheesiest alien-conspiracy websites. The production values are so bad, and the lack of substantial content so profound, it baffles me how anyone was persuaded to have anything to do with it. But what's REALLY incredible is that I saw this on Netflix. Netflix! They were actually showing it! Why? Well, I suppose it couldn't have cost much to license. It's awful, though. Really.

Wow

[james182108 · 1/10 · 26 January 2018]

The narration is very monotone and sounds hypnotic in a rather creepy way. Like some one has stated early, the video clips are not original and used over and over again. I completely lost interest early on when they did the voice over for Nikola Tesla; a Serbian man. Whilst talking about a signal he received, the show went and used a voice actor putting on the accent of an English peasant. Honestly, what the hell!? The guy sounds like a bad actor in Eastenders or something.

Wow.. definitely intended for the dumb

[Zix7 · 2/10 · 11 January 2018]

Is anyone even supposed to believe this crap? The majority of "facts" in this documentary can be easily debunked with 3 seconds' worth of googling. Eerie music and "scary" backgrounds just make this documentary even more hilarious to watch. Genre should be changed to Stoners Comedy.

Utter Piffle

[JF-Sebastian · 1/10 · 21 February 2018]

Netflix needs to be more selective when it comes to content concerning scientific subjects judging by this nonsense. As soon as crop circles were cited as possible evidence of alien contact any semblance of credibility evaporated. Thankfully this happens in the first ten minutes.

My advice is to look elsewhere for more reliable sources of scientific knowledge. If you're more interested in fantasy and folklore this might prove mildly diverting for a moment but I wouldn't recommend it in either case.

Utter Twaddle!

[johnbb62 · 20 March 2018]

A dreadful compilation of pseudo science The presentation consists of monotonous commentary, stock footage and amateurish graphics. There is nothing positive to say about this.

Very lame

[christophevictor · 1/10 · 18 August 2018]

I stopped this nonsense after 5 minutes when they claimed a British grain circle in 2001 was an alien answer to signals send from earth by Carl Sagan in 1974...What utter nonsense. This 'film' was made in 2017 by the last jackass who believes grain circles are made by aliens.

Informativbe

[karthikeyarayan · 6/10 · 10 January 2018]

This is more like a documentary. It is very informative. It might be more interesting for children. It is a compilation of lesser known facts. It deals with wide ranging things like the WOW! signal to Voyager signals and beyond. It is more than one hour of useful information for people who would be interested in ET intelligence. The film also has good visuals with a great voice explaining everything in the background.

Unscientific data and unconvincing claims

[corrientes123 · 1/10 · 15 April 2018]

There are a couple of nice space pictures (and a lot of bad animations too), but next to no convincing data. Not even the distance issues are discussed. Just the "sound" effects "created" by the planets of our solar system are misleading and actually not explained properly. There is lots of speculation and besides the slow and monotone speaker, there is no real scientist putting all those observations into perspective. Sorry, but I had to stop watching this after 20 min. Save your time.

I feel like I've just done drugs

[flammabledruid · 10/10 · 8 July 2018]

The weird visuals and monotone voice made me feel high, but with none of the hassle of actually acquiring drugs. The exact moment I realised I'd lost track of the documentary/life in general was when the narrator was talking about aliens, but the screen clearly showed a picture of a praying mantis put onto a background of space for no apparent reason.

10/10

This is an offense even to the most basic intelligence

[vukicevicdora · 1/10 · 6 April 2019]

I usually like far fetched quasi-documentaries, but this is simply idiotic. First 10 minutes seemed visually infantile but I thought it could be fun regardless. When the narrator said 'Nikola Tesla, the inventor of radio' I knew this is not going to go well AND THEN they put in Nikola Tesla's report in a british accent. I mean why? Why not make it in normal English? Or if you insist on accents, make it on Balkan accent then. Or any Slavic accent. And further down the line it only gets more stupid and borring. For crying out loud...

Million Dollar Budget?????

[arfdawg-1 · 1/10 · 4 April 2019]

There is no way that this fiasco had the million dollar budget IMDB claims.

This is just horrible. Not factual, not well done and not entertaining.

There's also a TON of filler.

Don't bother with this garbage.

No, no, no, no, no, no!!!!

[contactmaz · 1/10 · 2 April 2019]

The first few minutes seemed to be ok but then it just went downhill... fast. The narrator was truly awful, his accent was terrible, his pronunciation of words was irritating, for example, 'Pho - bo ws' ... instead of 'Pho-boss' and the amount of grammatical errors (for a narrator) was UNBELIEVABLE.

If you remember the kiddies sci-fi books that had bits of totally unrelated information and the reader, obviously a child, would be saying, "Wow!", well, this documentary was a version of that except I was saying, "WTF! ha ha"...

Steer your intergalactic spaceship clear of this alien BS and watch an episode of Star Trek with Jean Luc Picard instead.

More lies!

[thewildrat · 2/10 · 9 March 2021]

I do not doubt there may be other life, but these garbage UFO docs are ridiculous! Blatant lies given as fact. Really, the creators of this stuff should be arrested for thievery.

Feels like a Youtube one man video on steroids...

[quimerico · 1/10 · 15 August 2019]

Wow, I tried to watch it. I really like this kind of stuff, and thought "hey, a documenttary about aliens on Netflix, it must have interesting questions commented by cool people!" Nah-ah. It's only one guy talking about a bunch of stuff without much support, with a rythm that made me sleepy. There is no one else commenting on what he tells, to corroborate or aknowledge what he is talking is true or just ramblings on conspiracy theories... A waste of time...

No, it's not

[richard.danielsson · 1/10 · 6 October 2019]

Some beautiful pictures and reports of things that has really happened, but most of the conclusions insinuating alien activity are wrong.

MARVELOUS MOVIE!!

[gavagai-40327 · 10/10 · 1 April 2019]

My grandson did this movie so i have to give it a 10 LOL

It's your boi, Vrillon!

[darkmatterdimensions · 10/10 · 13 January 2018]

It's a very dark documentary, which I like; kind of eerie. I felt like as much as it had alien hoax elements to it, it also had a lot of true science to it as well. It's a good space documentary if you are also inspired by the unknown. Plus, the best part about the alien "hoaxe's", is that we don't really know, so it makes it interesting. If you're like me and sci-fi, alien conspiracy, theoretical physics and the unknown are your thing, then this documentary is definitely for you!
