    Short and Sweet

    One of the sweetest shortest docs I've ever seen. This one is worth the 16min.

    What a nice guy...

    Although the usual assumption would be to think this guy is a complete fruit loop & a bit bonkers, Netflix have handled this with great sensitivity and I really warmed to the guy. A basic tale of a guy who feels 'different' and is just trying to find meaning not only in the world but spreading cultural love beyond the stars. A lovely little film focusing on a really sweet guy.

    I really loved this title. There could have been more but what it had was really nice

    I started the documentary thinking it would be 2 hours of some guy who loves aliens, some interviews with experts on both sides, a slide real of pictures to an oldies or techno sound track and then an ending with john not finding aliens. What I got was a real human story about a unique person who was searching for something to prove he wasn't alone. I feel like the shortness was really different and i'm not sure if it's what I would have expected. I would really hope that any piece of media could at least fit in a 1/2 hour slot and I think this documentary is no exception and wouldn't have drawn it out too far. I really have to think about weather me wanting more of this movie is a negative or not but I know it did leave me enriched from what I saw.

    Short and very sweet

    This is a well spent 16 minuten of my time. It doesn't give you much but for me it peaked my interest just enough to decide to want to know more about this exceptional man and his project.

    I'm very happy for you John...

    Heart warming in 16 min

    This short doc provides a warped twist that only explains itself in the last 5 min, but you need the other 11min to lead you there. It's really quite a nice watch and I'm my opinion very well made. Extra credit goes to the music. It really carried the story along to its highest point. Well done
