The Phoenix Incident

I liked how they mixed the truth and fiction and made a mock-Doc.🤷‍♂️

Slow at first with some good visuals. 🙄

FF movies are usually lame rubbish such as , even from the get go of Blair witch what started the popularity of the style.

I remember the incident this was a good watch. Ish 👍

This movie is making me noxious and gives me headaches because of the idiotic camera shakes.

It is not watchable.

And I am tired of those found footages movies.

In fact, the best thing about this is the creature design and the spaceships design, like both of it. Seemed cool, realistic and scary.

Most of the rest was boring and repetitive, with stupid characters and boring and predictable conversations simulating a documentary.

well, found footage movies are usually cheap and nasty affairs and the shaky camera is used to cover bad directing.

This one is different, the characters are believable, the effects are good and the directing is smooth and enjoyable. and here comes the BUT the go pro style footage is far too shaky and swinging, certain segments of the movie are completely unwatchable due to this and mildly nausea inducing.

The characters have lucid moments and are friendly and believable but start screaming and shouting in a manner that is unbelievable and ruins any form connection you have with them.

Nothing new and needs refining

I have seen many found footage movies and some of them are quite good, as they 1. allow the viewer to get an idea of the whole scenery and 2. as they give your eyes some calm moments. The viewer needs time to understand what's actually going on!

This movies doesn't do anything of that. It's really hard work to watch the found footage scenes, so shaky, the image even switches off completely for many times, the cam crashes against walls and the ground with wild movements, a tour de force for your eyes, so much that it gets really annoying. I wanted to shout out loud: stop finally moving!

While the story could have been very exciting (the basic idea is not bad), the 4 main characters sometimes behave like crazy. Just imagine someone dangerous follows you in the dark. And your first reaction is: shout as loud as possible, speak loudly, use your torch to show everyone within the next 2 miles where you are, and that ALL the time.That's what these 4 guys do. So empathy has no chance to grow for them. After a while of watching I thought: just stop filming guys and get caught finally.

The pseudo-documentary style of the movie is OK, if you like that kind of movie. To me it's a little bit too much of history channel's "the secret alien files" kind of stuff: the camera, the editing, the light of the interview scenes - just the way those scenes are made I have seen before too many times on TV. The director clearly needs to find a way to make his individual kind of movie. Now it's just a collection of copied elements. Truly better than "sharknado", but not much better than every pseudo-documentary on TV.
