Unidentified

What a terrible film! After seeing this so called 'film', I cannot help but sadly reflect about Giordano Bruno. Bruno lived from 1548 to 1600 AD. A Italian Dominican friar. philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer. His cosmological theories went far beyond the Copernican model: he proposed the Sun was essentially a star, and that the universe contained an infinite number of inhabited worlds populated by other intelligent beings.

The Roman Inquisition found him guilty of heresy, and he was executed horribly by being burned at the stake. After his death he gained considerable fame, particularly among 19th- and early 20th-century commentators who, focusing on his astronomical beliefs, regarded him as a martyr for free thought and modern scientific ideas.

How can such arrogance and stupidity and fear....this film demonstrates still exist after all this time of scientific discovery? The incredibly narrow suffocating views the makers of this film continues to deny the possibility that there just could be, dare I write, the chance of life beyond off our own planet? Anything not understood by them then must be the work of a devil? These 'Christian dinosaurs' who made this 'film' seem to be still around. Their views besides being so arrogantly religious, are also so completely 'Earth Centered' too.

Not only do these film makers frighteningly display a new twisted form of xenophobia about free thought, the film even illustrates in scenes (by characters in the film playing reporters – a free press? ) critical about what sort of books one should be reading in the film's script! And what if God is also the same God on other worlds too? The utter arrogance that we are the only planet with life, created just for the pleasure (and abuse) by mankind?

What a twisted pitiful film. These ultra right Christian film makers and their flocks show after all this time and knowledge gained long since - the blood of Giordanos Brunos is still on their hands. I am renouncing my 'Christianity' (the Jesus Machine ultra right version a Jesus would scarcely recognize) after seeing this film, but never my faith in God.

The equally frightening 'Triumph of the Will' by Leni Riefenstahl in comparison at least showed some artistic competence.

This movie is a sincere Christian apology, but I couldn't identify much of a plot. ***SPOILER*** It would have been OK in Church, but not as paid entertainment. We never see UFOs, and few in the work-a-day world talk like these people. I can't imagine the actors not being devout Christians. Rebecca St. James is OK and the cast is serviceable, as are most of the characters. Significantly, the "UFO" demons happen at night, or induce night-like conditions. The idea of Hell is said by some to have originated with the contrast of day and night; night belonging to the Devil and chased by the Good Sun (Son). Consider also a probable root of Christianity reaching back into the obscure mists of child sacrifice. The "Unidentified" actors don't seem to have entertained such thoughts.

This movie was poorly conceived, poorly written and poorly acted. All of the characters were two-dimensional. It was a real amateur attempt. The movie was fundamentalist Christian propaganda. The Christian characters are holier-than-thou and they are without a shred of compassion for the skeptic or the undecided characters. The movie was a real "gotcha" for both the skeptic character and myself as a viewer, putting us in a very uncomfortable situation. I complained to the theater management and was given a free pass to another movie. I remember another movie on a similar subject, "The Rapture," starring Mimi Rogers, that was much better and professionally done. I think I'll watch "The Rapture" again. If you attend "Unidentified" and don't like it, don't say I haven't warned you.

This movie was terrible. It is not something that people should have to pay to see. It looks like some Christian group made it to convert people. I don't understand why it was released to theaters and not to TV.

It started out like an old fashioned B movie sci-fi film from the 50s, but quickly changed. About 30 minutes into the movie the characters start talking about "God" and "Do you believe in Jesus?" It quickly moves into pure religion territory.

I thought I was going to a Sci-Fi movie. The film has poor acting; bad camera angles and is amateurish.

AVOID IT!

At first the film looks like it is a full UFO sci-fi thriller equipped with discussions of UFO's and aliens, etc. I was expecting more of these concepts and less of what I got. Instead, we got a story that handles themes of religious deception and faith. The film ended up being this whole guide on becoming a Christian instead of staying in the sci-fi genre. This disappointed me because the film makes a promise it doesn't keep. However, this film is undeniably thoughtful. I'll give it that. Some of the questions asked throughout the film could use some discussion after watching the film. The themes displayed throughout the film will certainly make the viewer think and talk about these issues. Aside from this, avoid Unidentified if you're a sci-fi fan. Watch Planet of the Apes instead.
