Fun little alien abduction b-movie that will be more appreciated by X-philes, like I'm certain the director is. Full of subtle and not so subtle references and similar plotlines, not to mention the Cigarette Smoking Man, William B. Davis himself in the exact opposite role of a skeptical man that talks about conspiracies and laughs at the thought of hidden government bases in Alaska (Fight the Future anyone?).
Apart from the continuous X-Files referencing, the movie is a bit all over the place in terms of plot, mixing in clumsy ways alien abduction, Indian mythology and plenty of philosophizing over the paranormal. Towards the end things take a more surreal and so-bad-it's-good direction, but the movie did not lose its charm, at least in my case and it remained entertaining till the end. However, I feel that it is doubtful if viewers that are not familiar with the X-Files will appreciate it much.

Never mind the sci-fi out of this world aspect.... if you found people in everyday life who reacted the way these characters do, you'd wish you'd been abducted... I mean really? Just let down by poor scripting, poor character development and just general poor plot.
So utterly uninspiring, I can see why it wasn't carried by any cinema here in the UK. It's entirely lamentable, that film can now be produced and distributed so cheaply. At least the barrier of cost used to mean the product had to be sufficiently good so as to make sales to cover the costs....

I think overall the film talks about interesting stuff, mainly directed to the theorist mates.
All the stuff related to HAARP is interesting, the radio show host has a good solid performance and bringing the American AB is a plus and could probably enjoy more film time with these scenes.
They could have cut out some moments,the blonde Russian is useless for the story and the government guy with the hat and funny voice, his accent is terrible, don't know why they have him.
The redneck has some good moments and the xfiles joke is stupendous, some of his expressions and jokes are priceless. Overall is enjoyable, the effects are cool and had a good laugh.

No idea what was going on for most of the movie. Good floatie scene though
This umm this.. mind puzzle will leave you wondering if you've been abducted. because you will experience lost time that you'll never get back. I'd rather have a brain freeze than watch this crap again.
