Ufo incident they say ... well another title of the movie. Rendlesham or something. I didn't even research if this is based even losely/remotely on an actual event. Then again, since we now have been told that there have been some unidentified flying objects ... I mean who am I to discredit this, right? Still does not make this movie any good.
Nor the idea of going Found Footage. It is not just too late when it comes to the even itself (why would anyone go there now), but also the "genre" this pics to die on ... and dying it does (no pun inteneded). Not probing to find puns ... they're just there ...

This movie had some things going for it. I think the actors are strong. The special effects, especially at the end, are really good. Also, I like alien found footage movies. They are a little more unique than the supernatural found footage.
The problem is the writing. The dialogue is simplistic. As a result, it is hard to figure out what is going on for most of the second and third acts. This movie has a major problem with character motivation as well. The question of why the characters are there, why they are filming, and why they don't give up just haunt the viewer throughout.

I am typically a fan of found footage movies, especially if they are well done. This one was not.
I was very excited to watch Hangar 10, as I enjoy a good UFO/alien movie. What a disappointment!
I spent most of this movie wondering what the hell was going on. The reason why they were in the woods and their reasoning for doing things was not made very clear. The accents were thick which did not help matters at all.
Overall, the movie was slow and boring, and two of the actors spent half the movie yelling "Gus!!!" which got pretty old.
Unfortunately, all Hangar 10 did for me was waste two hours of my life that I can never get back.

There is an easy way to sum up this movie. Say you have a budget of $2,000US and you live near a field. All you need to do is buy a $50 camera at Walmart, ask your friends, "Hey want to be in a Movie and be Famous?" and Adobe CS5.
For the movie run around in the fields and record yourselves screaming for one hour. Then put the video on you laptop and edit.
WAALAA! Instant sensation! Make a commercial of the movie and only show the audience getting scared. Then make a scary cover for you DVD.
Let the sheep buy it! On a lighter note, this is a terrible terrible movie. Please don't torture your eyes and waste your time watching it. Go outside for an hour instead and thank God your alive...

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.

I rented this on Amazon, where it is listed under the alternative title of "The Rendlesham UFO Incident". The synopsis, as presented on Amazon's Fire TV, is rather limited and so I took this to be a new Rendlesham documentary. The movie is listed as having the release date of "2015" to add to the confusion.
Of course, I found out within a couple of minutes that this drivel could not be further from a documentary and is the kind of found footage nonsense that gives serious UFO research a bad name. Do yourself a favour and poke yourself in the face with sharp needles for a couple of hours - this will be a more rewarding experience.

Saw the premiere of this at the Colchester Film Festival. In many ways it's exactly what you'd expect from a found footage take on the Rendlesham UFO mythology. For me the twist was the artistic vision that the director Dan Simpson brought to the table, which was there from the start I guess but becomes increasingly prominent during the film as it heads towards its unsettling denouement. The set-up is good, conventional as it lays out the 'rules' of the found footage, who's got which camera etc, but the characters are well acted and you get drawn in to their dramatic set up. I don't want to spoil what follows, I will say that Blair Witch is a clear template as things become increasingly stressful for the protagonists - until the final act - about which I will say no more. The camera is shaky to start but settles down, the editing is GREAT and really keeps the pace up, and the director takes every opportunity he can to tell the story visually, resulting in some genuinely haunting, mesmeric imagery. A fine example of independent British film-making at its best.

Ignore the hate. People are just idiots and expect the wrong things.
The low scores must have come from low brows all wanting massive FX budgets and big casts and big sets. This is a low budget story.
HANGAR 10 is a 'found footage' movie, yet another one. But it doesn't suck for several reasons:
The cast are good.
The tension builds and builds.
There are some jump scares and genuinely unsettling moments.
The camera footage isn't just random "OOh! Something is happening so we must point out the ground!" rubbish. It actually manages to stay on-point.
The later scenes get weirder and weirder.
The ending is just explosive.
Criticisms?
* Some of the CG is a bit weak in the body of the film, but it gets better as the film goes, and the stuff at the climax is astounding.
* The film goes a bit slow towards the end, and they start repeating themselves a bit, but it doesn't last long and suddenly the end-game story is upon you. It's not a boring film. Unless you are a moron with the attention span of a sparrow.
Normally I'm not a huge fan of these films, but they've been creeping up and up on me as I find better and better ones. This is a good one.
Haters gonna be morons, y'know?

This has to be the worst found footage film of all time. It's boring. It's slow. It's all over the place. Terrible camera work. Cheap Effects. Bad Acting.
This is an insult to the Rendlesham Forest Incident.
UFO stuff should be scary and have an atmosphere to them, this Hangar 10 garbage has none, not one sign of it.
I have to say again the camera work is terrible, its so shaky, they should not of let the clueless actors hold the camera. What you see on screen is the result of people that have no idea of how to handle a camera.
Don't bother with this so called film, it sucks and more so.
Mike.

This may just be, hands down, the worst film I have ever seen. There is nothing redeeming about anything in this project, and I don't say this often, but I honestly feel robbed of an hour and a half of my life.
The plot could be summed up in 3 sentences on its Wikipedia page, if anybody could be bothered making one, the dialogue is bland and the camera work is a shoddy mess. A small voice inside of me cheered when there was a change of shot because hey, at least something, even in the most minor of ways, happened.
I honestly feel bad for the people involved in this film. I wouldn't be surprised if the actors involved asked for their names to be taken out of the credits due to hoping nobody ever finds out they were in it, similar to how you wouldn't want anybody finding your baby photos. The acting was okay-ish but I say that because there's honestly no way to screw up characters they decided to write into the script. I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't acting, just reciting lines and being themselves. There was that part where one guy has to act weird by laughing and throwing a stick but even then it's not clear if that was intentional or not. I'd like to say that there are worse things to do for money, but honestly none of them come to mind right now. I know that sounds bold, but if you'd seen the film, you know you'd agree with me.
I don't like people who criticize films in the cinema, especially at the debut, however if somebody stood up as the credits began and shouted "What the f--k was that sh-t?" and walked out, I would have envied that person for the rest of my life.
I really do try to take whatever lesson I can from a movie, regardless of whether I liked it or not, so I can take some sort of knowledge from it. But after the non-existent plot, the boring whale sounds and "jump scares" (and by jump scares, I mean you could tell what they were meant to be, but they just failed at it) and to top it off, anti-climax after anti-climax, this film may just be the worst film in existence. I actually felt angry when it finished. I felt like I had the chance to do so many other things with my life in the time I saw that movie, and I saw it around 11pm during a f-----g blackout.
Please, if you're considering watching this movie, watch something else.
Anything else. It doesn't matter what. There is nothing more I would like to get across in this review is that under no circumstances, should anybody watch this film.
I am giving this film 1 star because I cannot give it a 0.

Prepare yourself for about an hour and a half of awful camera-work that is all over the place and just downright annoying. And prepare yourself for an hour and a half of virtually nothing happening aside from three people pretending to be lost in the Woods and then finding an old abandoned hangar.
There are no words that will do justice to the extent of which I loathe this genre of movies; the mockumentary and found footage genre. If you have seen one of them then you have essentially seen all.
I will say that the lights in the sky, as shown in "Hangar 10", was quite good and interesting, and that was actually the best part of the entire movie.
With just three people on the cast list, there was a tremendous performance pressure resting on their shoulders. I will say that the actors and actress did manage to do good enough jobs with the limitations of their limited script.
Once the movie actually manages to shamble to an ending, you just sit there left behind with a foul taste in your mouth, robbed of 83 minutes of living and you just go mmm-hmmmm.
"Hangar 10" is not worth wasting your time or money on. I did it so you don't have to. If you enjoy Sci-Fi or UFO/extraterrestrial lore, stay well clear of this movie.

Hangar 10, the most poorly edited film I have seen in years. How the hell has this film been made and released. The cinematography is so bad as is the cheap sound design... cheap post production rubbish. As others have said on IMDb this is a terrible excuse of a film. Nothing feels or looks real even the acting. What an outrageous attempt into the sci-fi/horror world. This film is appalling in every way. No Horror, No thrills, Not scares = Pathetic.
It's getting poor reviews all over the internet and I can see why. Never again will I watch, buy or even recommend such a poorly made film.
IMDb should introduce minus Stars... this would get -9.

This movie makes the worst movie you have ever seen a potential Oscar nominee. Here is yet another installment of a complete movie done with hand-held video cameras. The characters of the girl and her friend with the video camera are alright, her boyfriend is a total jerk. Ninety percent of the movie is spent wandering through the woods and the ending is terrible. There is no real story-line, the dialogue is terrible, the acting is marginal (to the negative side), and it is boring. I will admit that the special effects in the last 5 minutes of the film are pretty good, but that is the only good thing to say about this abomination. If you enjoy wasting your time, this is the movie for you.
OK, first off, this is a found-footage film. Don't like them? Then don't watch the film. A lot of criticism here simply because people just don't like/don't seem to understand the genre. You wouldn't criticise a rock song just because you don't like or understand rock music, would you? Same thing here, basically. It's been edited to look like it's unedited, "found footage". That's the genre. Yes, the camera-work is shaky. Yes, it is meant to look amateurish. That's the point. You're meant to think it wasn't made by a professional film crew but is just unedited footage shot by the characters in the film (who aren't meant to be a professional film crew) as the events occurred. It would be a bit weird if they'd just happened to shoot a perfectly orchestrated, steadily-filmed, scene-by-scene mainstream Hollywood movie completely by accident while they are under threat, when that wasn't even their intention in the first place.
Secondly, the comparisons to Blair Witch. Well, it's a found-footage film set in a forest, so of course it's going to have similarities. It's set in a forest because the original Rendlesham UFO Incident took place in Rendlesham Forest...where the film is actually shot. Should it have been filmed a few miles further down the road at the pizza place, perhaps!? Maybe you'd have preferred that. And if it hadn't been a found-footage film, would you have hated it because it was a normal horror film set in a forest, just like the many hundreds of horror films already set in or around forests!? Too "derivative" still? Do you just have a problem with forests? Or horror films? Perhaps just steer clear of watching films based around either of those two "problem areas" then, in future.
This is an excellent film that builds on the suspense from the first frame to the last. It switches effortlessly between the fear of the situation these people find themselves in to conveying the sense of wonder and awe (even joy) at the spectacle before them and all the unsolved mysteries that are out there in the world. It does this while staying true to the concept its based on...which does mean you'll be in for a bumpy ride (though the camera- work does settle down further into the film). If you miss it, you'll be missing out. Or alternatively, just go and sit in your room and listen to a type of music you hate, really loudly, then complain about it on the internet for hours.

I feel this movie is rather underrated.
It seems the couple do some treasure seeking using detectors as we find out that the lad has received some soft of certificate and that the next thing on their mind is to search around in Rendlesham forest to do some searching for lost treasure.
They invite a friend to document it all on his camera.
On their way the make some stops like some sort of roadtrip and find there is some unusual military activity in the area.
Quickly enough they are confronted by unexplained phenomena in the forest and the influence of otherworldly stuff is noticeable, for example on their gps locator.
And it gets worse from there on.
The dialogue is a little cheesy at times but the overall graphics aren't that bad at all.
Turn off your brain and you might find this flick enjoyable, at least I did.

I had read somewhere Hangar 10 had something to do with Severance (the excellent Brit comedy/horror) therefore I was expecting the same director, or writer perhaps, I think I was wrong. First off the acting isn't too bad and the story line is not entirely off point. Too much time most certainly is spent in the woods however and a meandering atmosphere soon sets in. It's obvious the found footage style is here to stay however a real drawback in this movie was the extent of it and the implementation - I really had enough of it. To the point it detracted from the movie unfortunately, and this movie does gain momentum towards the end so that was quite a shame. You'd have to be a real hardcore Sci-Fi fan and not mind headache inducing camera work to enjoy, which is a shame as I think the ingredients were there for an enjoyable movie but did not make it for me. As a comparison Probability of girlfriend enjoying District 9- 100% Hangar 10- 0%.
