What many will pass off as a spoof/humorous fantasy has a lot more root in historical accuracy than many will chose to explore.
John Erlichman once said that sometimes the only way to tell the truth is via fiction.
In fact, there was a program on ’Remote Viewing’ or psychic spying that was active and anyone in military research will attest that an attempt to weaponize any aspect of life will be tried.
The trailer looks like a fun ride, but the truth is that there is a very serious aspect to the film.
Refer back to the review on ‘THE FOURTH KIND’ for a discussion on the power of ridicule that the government has been using as a weapon on the citizenry since the fifties in any area they can find applicable.
All this said, it is a very good and highly entertaining film that just might send you to the Google search engine for just how deep the truth behind the story goes.
