Bob Lazar: Área 51 e Discos Voadores

Mickey Rourke as the narrator was probably the worst choice made. Such an interesting story but not reflected in this documentary

I've seen/heard every Lazar interview since 89 so clearly I was anticipating this greatly. First thing I have to address is why the producer seemed to make it about him? This is supposed to be about Bob Lazar. Major screw up right there.

Also, the core story wasn't even told (for those saying this is great for people that know nothing of the subject - it failed to educate the new generation who will now to be forced to youtube find old footage to get the whole story when it could have been done here, and then updated)

Sad to say that this is just another Lazar "documentary" which isn't even the best one. Bluebook films did one back in the early 2000's that is better and one of the UFO shows from the same era also did a better one than this - both are free on youtube.

1. 5 minutes of director playing with phone 2. Old footage 3. George Knapp at a swimming pool. This is just the first 10 minutes. Want more substance? Listen to Joe Rogans interview of Bob.

First, this is a must watch for anyone who isn't aware of Bob Lazar or the story of Area 51. There's important information exposed that will leave you with questions, and maybe some answers.

However, the style of the documentary is a big letdown and distracts from the content and overall quality. Too many poorly done effects and phone calls that appear (although probably are not) staged. The documentary has a cheap, cheesy and almost sales-pitch like feel to it at times, which makes the story seem less genuine.

I'd still suggest watching this, but overall it suffers from trying too hard in the wrong areas.

Really interesting topic, but sadly the documentary maker doesn't have the first idea on how to make a good documentary, he seems more interested in appearing on screen himself, than asking relevant questions, following interesting avenues, or even just letting the story tell itself. There is almost nothing here that people who know the Bob Lazar story won't already be familiar with, but for anybody new to the subject, it is an OK (if rather one-sided) introduction.
