Proyecto ovni

Watched it all in a binge, felt engaged and made me want more.

Witty, intelligent and visually cool. Half of the actors feel like normal you and me people. The others are portrayed like cartoon figures, a pretty unusual mix.

70s vibe may be a bit overdone, orange everywhere, yellow cars, cigarettes and all, but who cares.

Old SF fan here, hate what Hollywood has made out of the Genre. "UFO project" feels more like a SF short story with obscure twists and turns and mixed in satire. Give it a chance my friends.

Nothing for viewers who dwell on the typical braindead action, good vs evil, the chosen liberator theme, and/or computer supported special effect. All done by hand by true artisans.

Wow can't understand the low rating on this one. I rarely ever write reviews, but when I saw the low score I had to set record straight. What a fun experience to be had. A well written, beautifully shot, unique show. Vibrant colors, nailed the 80s feel, quirky characters, interesting storyline, good acting, great dialogue, I mean what else do you want? Also a very cool soundtrack. I've seen just about everything under the sun, this was a refreshingly good time. I'm giving it a well deserved 8 out of 10. Do yourself a favor and check it out, then leave a proper rating so the IMDb folks out there don't overlook this one.

Nicely filmed, avant-garde, Polish cinema even upon humoured project, they've managed to keep the standard and not dipping their toes into cheap picture.

Talents are nicely selected, scenography meticulously arranged.

Truth be told, great binge for Sunday chill.

Specific sub story, with the taste of true cinema, to create something humorous and entertaining, taking a Mickey out of communist party, Polish people fighting to be seen and heard. It's showing greatly oppressed society and yet holding their faith and keeping up with their dreams within the barbed wire of communism and Russian waiting at the border.

Great mini-series, nicely filmed with a good cast and some fantastic quirky characters.

If you're looking for some proper Sci-Fi, then this is probably not for you.

It is a slightly bizarre but humorous and visually excellent story set in 80's Poland - Great sets and great sound track with a retro-indie feel to it.

Anyone who gave this a bad review has totally missed the point. This is a charming Fargo-esque tale set in rural Poland. I don't speak Polish, so had to rely on the sub-titles but I could sense that the dialogue was often a little bit tongue-in-cheek and this just added to it's charm for me.

Well worth a watch!

Like your Sci-Fi retro, with a light humour and quirky? You won't go far wrong with Projekt UFO on Netflix. Polish production, set during political upheaval in that country, a fading tv star and a UFO enthusiast haunted by his brother's disappearance, investigate Poland's Roswell. Beautifully shot and designed, with a great colour palette which somehow emphasises the bleakness of the times.

There's subtle nods to other shows and films about alien visitors, it even has it's own Smoking Man (with his own idiosyncrasy), but location and time it's set really make it original. I'm sure some will watch and want an English language remake, I thought myself that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost would cover the male lead roles, but a remake would be a mistake, missing out on the uniqueness of the Polish setting.

Great 80s style electronic synth soundtrack too.
