The X-Files were based on real events that did take place, i'm living proof of this, and Chris Carter and Gillian (Scully & Molder) did Great job Presenting the characters.
This movie is proof that brilliant movies can still be made without CGI, blood & guts, and shock factors. Again, brilliant production values, acting, writing...this movie ticks all the boxes. Thanks for the upload. Must watch.
I just started watching then I skiped 20 minutes and decided to watch from the beginning. It seems to be a nice UFO movie! EDIT: great scriptwriting and very good acting! Nice!
This was such a refreshing change... Nothing over-the-top, just an intelligent story. Gillian's come a long way over the years and the rest of the cast did a superb job, as well. It simply goes to show that intelligence still wins a lot of viewer's tastes over CGI/special effects. Finally, one of those rare movies I can enjoy mentally.
Randomly clicked on this movie for no particular reason... found myself being drawn in and couldn't stop until the end. I Love good storytelling and good acting. A good story well acted does not need a blockbuster budget.
The semi-romantic subplot annoyed me a little bit, but in hindsight it highlights the personal sacrifices / interpersonal failings of some of the greatest minds.
Of course. Though it's a very niche case that someone going off the rails of life will land them a cosy government dream job, to be fair. He was burning bridges all around himself to get this puzzle solved. His room mate looked borderline suicidal near the end, and all the guy could do was ask for his car again. So he's definitely not the hero of the story. @@calsavestheworld
What a good movie. I really enjoyed it beginning to end, no CGI to take away our breathes, no built-in agenda, no dumbing it down, no blood and guts, just an interesting plot and some good acting. Thumbs up.
One of the most simple, but thought provoking, movies I've seen in a long time. The story drives the movie like it should and, the people in it are believable and intelligent. No stupid plot points and nothing to distract from the main story it portrays. Thank you very much for putting it on RUclips.
Good on you for sharing this with us! My son here in Vancouver worked on The X-Files and said Gillian Anderson isn’t just an amazing actress but a wonderful person. She came out of her trailer and personally signed a photo of herself to a young girl who was a fan. Trust me. They DON’T all do that!
Hollywood actors and actresses used to do it. My brother wrote to many actors when he was a kids and all sent autographed photos. I can't remember all of them but remember John Wayne, Dennis Weaver, and George Peppard.
She was rude when I asked her to sign my poster. She sighed, signed it and shoved it back to me. When I asked her a question, she looked at me and just walked away. Made me feel like dirt.🙄
I seem to have waited a lifetime ( I`m 73 ) for an intelligent movie on potential extraterrestrial life like this to appear. I feel quite certain that the author and past chair of the department of astronomy at Harvard, Avi Loeb would appreciate this :) Deeply thoughtful, carefully crafted, cerebral in content and avoiding the many pitfalls that most often plague any movie that attempts to consider this increasingly possible scenario, this movie is in itself, a rare event - thank you so much for uploading this to RUclips - very much appreciated :)
@@user-gv4cx7vz8t Mmm, possibly - if you are referring to the movie adapted from the book by Carl Sagan, starring Jodie Foster. I thought that film was underwhelming to be honest, but perhaps you may be have another in mind ?
Although very different in it's approach, and using extensive CG, I highly recommend Arrival. It has an intelligent angle that you slowly figure out along with the expert, whom in this case is a linguist.
@@jenna-a-gogo Thank you for jogging my memory - yes, the film ' Arrival ' was indeed an exceptionally well made film, carefully and intelligently constructed, with CG that did not get in the way of some wonderful acting. Thought provoking on a variety of levels :)
This is a top-shelf movie. Gillian Anderson is a plus, but the production values were excellent. The music wasn't overbearing. There was no "Government BAD, plain people GOOD" predisposition. The logic was rather impeccable. Six stars out of five.
Something 'mainstream' Sci Fi could learn from this film,it's the story not the CGI that matters. We want films we can watch,not consume. We want content,not soulless CGI. We want story,not merchandise.
Now, if the MSM were to newsflash multiple eye-👁️-witnesses saw O’biden with husband sitting sidebyside in a UFO’s passenger window, the 💩for🧠🧠 CHATTLE would sign up for the next flight home!!! Demons need only apply
Lesson: For all of their scary power, governments are often led by some of the most scared people on earth, people who are terrified of losing their power and the control it grants them. Thanks for posting this excellent film.
True, that’s one cohort. There are others who lie for the love of lying, for their hatred of humanity and their desire to weaken it or destroy it. And a third cohort, who are ambitious but lack ability. So their strategy is sell themselves to the other two cohorts, promising to commit any crime to please their masters (Biden).
True , our government is so afraid of losing it grip on control over us, that very little growth really happens. And that then then split up work of discovery across 9 to 20 " ivy league colleges ". Compartmentalize.
Yeah, the presentation about energy was cringy. That implied-like-natural assumed need to get more energy. We have difficulty learning how to control less when we have more. That makes us dangerous dummies.
Ah, the lost art of story-telling! A compelling tale, good believable characters that you can actually relate with. Well written too. THIS is how films should be made. Thanks for sharing it! One question though, why is it always the US they visit?
They visit all over the world. You just don’t hear about it much from other countries because people are discouraged to discuss it openly, for fear of repercussions from their government. It can get you locked up, sent to a mental institution or killed.
It's not only the US. Tho, the US is more transparent about the topic. In other countries it's still considered as a joke and never followed by media (Europe), in some countries it's forbidden to talk about it (Asia), and in some other countries UFOs are so common that no one really cares anymore (South America). It's basically like that.
Brilliant film. To think I wasted nearly three hours of my life recently watching Joachim Phoenix mumble his way through “Napoleon” at the cinema when I could have been at home, engrossed in a top quality film like this. Simply the best first contact film since the original “The Day The Earth Stood Still”.
Of course we may refer to Carl Sagan's book Contact, where math is a protagonist of the story, and number π is, literally, at the center of a research.
You are the one who had railed against 'CGI, little gray men', only to replace those beliefs with your own absolute one. I don't expect you to be critically introspective. Other than that, the movie is as banal as any Hallmark movie--fit for your consumption, to be sure.@@Jon-yx8wu
After I saw a UFO while stationed in Japan (over 50 years ago,) I told many people and even called the aircraft control tower, etc. No one believed me; they in fact teased me, but I know what I saw. We are not alone, indeed! Great movie!
My son told me about how a friend of his who lives out in the countryside had seen one. It had really shaken him up apparently. Sorry you were treated like that
I saw Santa’s sleigh and reindeer in the sky when I was about 8 yo. while me and my friend were playing in his back yard by the wood pile. That would be about 50 years ago. It was broad daylight.
Aliens aren't much different than us from a simular atmosphere just some kind of animal like man we've never seen before. Unfortunately the earth is so corrupt that they use AI.
Saw a silver scroll shaped UFO stop right over the top of my house in 2011. It was big really big. Bigger than the house. It flew off at break neck speed. They are here, always have been😊
This is an excellent movie , we want the sequel . Do not let this franchise fade away . But always , based on true events . Looking forward to the next movie , with an open mind . Thank you for this one .
@1 hour 12 minutes I was stunned by Gillians performance...the writing, directing and acting surpasses STNG by a light year. The ending brought me to tears!! The government asking the student to join them was priceless. "With your help!"... "we are not alone!"
This was one of the best ufo movies I've seen in a long time which is saying a lot considering there are no aliens in the movie and it's largely a bunch of unknown actors that pull this movie off. This is not to say that both Gillian Anderson and David Strathairn aren't brilliant in their roles because they are. Definitely worth your time to watch this. This is my 2nd time watching and I'll probably watch it again.
Sending messages to outer space is as suicidal as finding yourself in a jungle and you start shouting for help when predators , cannibals and head hunters can come for you...
I love these films because the young actors and most other characters look so real. No perfect faces, no buff bodies, just regular people. And they are good at their craft already. And without perfect looks, they may have never been given a chance. But it is my hope that the big “movie makers” will finally notice the incredible talent in average looking people like in this movie and give them further work in the industry. They deserve the chance. What an exciting, heart-pounding movie based on math with no chases, explosions, gun fights, or special effects. Maybe we will next see a film based on the real story of the triangular lights over Phoenix. I hope the real student this account was based on was offered a high-level job where his extraordinary talents will help us answer the questions about our existence. Does anyone know what happened to him after this? Most exciting part- his professor getting her gestalt suddenly-the so realistic way he grabbed up his notes to run out of the class- and the credit due his roommate for believing him (unlike his mom) and lending him the car one more time. Sorry for the epic, long comments-but I was extraordinarily moved by this story, the real people who lived it, and the superb portrayal of ordinary students by real actors. And my sadness that Carl Sagan was not there to bear witness and receive actualization for his lifelong yearning.
I loved the eureka moment when the professor froze on stage when she solved the equation sent by the extraterrestrials. Perfect casting with Gillian Anderson as the mathematics professor. I have watched this movie about 10 times!
Excellent movie with none of the bombastic cinematics that distract from good writing and performances. Alex Sharp and Gillian Anderson really excelled here. I need to go see what else Alex has done now.
One of the best UFO genre films I've ever seen, hands down. I clicked for Gillian Anderson and stayed for the film. Didn't even break for a smoke. Bravo!
I didn't either, but I barely smoke anymore as it is. The movie is beautifully suspenseful, and just well done all around. I need to check who the writer was....
I’ve been considering taking up the habit of smoking. What is your advice on whether to begin and do you suggest any particular cigar/cigarette brands? I’d rather not “vape” as it seems too trendy for a misanthrop like myself to adopt. Also, I agree that this was a good movie.
I really hope you're kidding. I do not recommend smoking for ANYONE,although studies have shown that nicotine MAY treat the symptoms and/or delay the onset of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. But nicotine can be administered without smoking. I wish I'd never started.
@@michaellee6489 I was kidding. Sometimes I write ridiculous comments. I’ve thankfully never smoked (or vaped). I’ve chewed tobacco a couple of times. I drink strong IPAs and stouts. I’ve recently become physically addicted “chowdering.” As for UFOs, I think both possibilities are fascinating, though being truly alone in the universe seems to produce the most unsettling ramifications, IMO.
Excellent. Low key, thoughtful, no hysterics (or clever CGI), well-acted. I have seen lesser films with huge budgets. Well done, everyone involved can be proud. Thanks!
Alex Sharp did a great job as the lead actor. I've never seen him before but I hope to see him again. Very strong performances from all the lead actors. What a great movie that I highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for uploading. A fan from NYC. ❤❤
Remember seeing the previews, glad I watched it. Have respected Anderson's work since the X-Files. This was a well written, good continuity film with entities interacting and solving a puzzle. Very well shot and edited, should have gotten more attention.
@@RoxanneM- Perhap, but that wouldn't have been true about the area the film was based upon... I live in a rural area myself & as a former city dweller, I marvel at nights like that.. especially when theres no moonlight, just stars...you can even watch the tiny dots of reflected light from satellites speeding across the night sky...🙂 😎👍☘🍺
I remember reading about this sighting. The student/college aspect is fictional but the drama was definitely riveting. I'm glad the Military aspect didn't throw sand into the gears of the story. Those pesky Generals have a way of messing up a good story.
A classic. I feel energized watching this movie because it's so well made. Astounding to find it down the tube. There are beautiful people in this world who make beautiful things.
If you skip over the first minute of scroll....then you could miss the APEX of the moment of 1 hour 12 minutes when Professor Hendricks has her 'aha' moment and focuses her attention on Derek. A brillaint movie and kudos to the writer and director. I would be so pleased if their was a sequel at the 10 year mark!!! As Picard would say...'make it so!'
I'm very impressed. Well researched, well written, smart script. Cinematography and music are great. Excellent cast and direction. A good story well told, with engaging characters well drawn. It doesn't try to do too much. Movies like this prove it's still the quality of storytelling that matters most. This is very intelligent film-making. Well done!
Do you want to know about the alien spaceship? Then, I will you the truth and nothing but the truth. They are far more advanced than humans The alien spaceship is totally perfectly a disc type. Semi-dome, flat belly with big one light on the center with 7 or 8 round lights on the edge of the belly, aluminum or platinum composition, It hovered without sound with ease. Maybe 40 meters in diameter and zoomed into space in a blink of an eye. wow, speed of light. I can't forget what I experienced. I will never forget this beautiful 15-minute encounter until my last breath. This is true and nothing but the truth.
Wait till you see what I saw, one late evening and it was raining, two types of light engaging almost like a war was going on because how unlinier they were moving. The crazy part is it is not near like an airplane, but more near than the stars at the back. While my mom had witness a long light like fluorescent lamp, bright than the moon, but motionless. Dissappear once the sun rise. Both we saw at the horizon. And it is always in the area where the military training space, both in different times and places. Me at my 90s and my mom at her 60s to early 70s.
OMGOSH, this was a great movie! And I do love Gillian Anderson. I was a huge X-Files fan. I feel that no-show has come close to being as good as X-Files was. This movie was one of the best I’ve seen in a very long time.
I gotta say, I'm blown away with how a film made in 2018 and uploaded to RUclips in the last month of 2023 can manage to not only cap out at 480p, but very much appears to have been sourced from a file that may have been even smaller in resolution and crushed to death by compression. An incredible feat when seeing that the thumbnail looks better than the actual video. Just a bit more bit crushing and the intro text would have barely been legible. Truly, an experience that perfectly compliments the director's vision in a film where large vistas of the sparkling mystery of space gets reduced to blocky cobweb chunks of digital noise squirm against each other like breaks in a greasy film formed over top a thin soup that's sat a bit too long in the bowl 🥰
Once again, Gillian Anderson turns a rather confusing and full movie into a thing of depth and beauty. I think she is highly underrated, like Glen Close. Brilliant women far ahead of their times. So brilliant, they scare the producers and directors around them.
I didn't think the movie was confusing at all. Gillian Anderson is a great actress and the X-Files were good but I think your are inflating her impact on the movie.
In October 2009, I was listening to Radio Canada through the internet when I was in Cyprus. The radio animator asked the people to stop calling the Montreal police for reporting a UFO sighting over the airport as this was overloading the 911 system. He even mentioned that the three triangular shaped objects that were hovering over the West Island disrupting airport operations did not seem aggressive and that there was no reason to worry. I never heard about this story again.
Sometime around February of 1978, in Tucson, Arizona, while I was walking home from work in the early twilight, I saw 4 brilliant lights hanging low, maybe 15 degrees above the horizon, in a perfectly straight line, completely motionless. Two of the lights were brilliant white, two were brilliant blue, alternately in the row. I watched them for maybe ten minutes before I had to board a bus which took me around a corner, putting the lights out of sight. Weird as this was, I was too tired to think much about it-- it just resisted thought, it was so baffling. The next morning at breakfast, I saw a tiny article in the back pages of the newspaper: hundreds of people had called in to the city police reporting these lights hanging low in the sky west of town. The article said that the police had called the commander of the Airforce base that is next to Tucson, asking if they knew anything about these lights. The Airforce said that they knew nothing about them, and that they were not anything that the Airforce had anything to do with. Readers should note that there was no drone technology at that time that could produce such a phenomenon. Nor could they be explained as tethered balloons, as they were absolutely motionless. Also, they would have had to have a pretty hefty power source, as they were so brilliant. They presented no form or characteristics beyond just being dazzling points of light. Like yours, this was a story that I have never heard about again.
Wow, Gillian looming like she did in X-files! I got super into the X-files when it started in 1993, great series and Gillian was amazing! She was perfect in every episode, I still love to see stuff she's in!
I HAVE SKIPPED BY THIS PIECE COUNTLESS TIMES...NOT THIS TIME... MY HUNGER FOR INTELLIGENCE HAS BEEN APPEASED... THANK YOU FOR SHARING... THINS THE HERD....
The joy of RUclips with this super gem of a movie, almost makes it worthwhile enduring the ghastly and endless self satisifaction of millionaires sharing their enviable assets. spare us.!. but Gillian and that Eureka moment, really special cinema.
A film which engages the audience via a good story, and good actors. Based on an actual series of events, this was a watch I don't regret spending time on.
I didn’t know this movie 🎥 was about Carl Sagan and other scientist 👩🔬 who figured this out in 1974?I mean,they figured out about a civilization light 💡 year’s ahead of us was trying to contact us?It sounds pretty 😍 amazing,here!
Me being a science student, I enjoyed this movie to the fullest and shockingly, I could understand most of the narratives, formulas and even arguments discussed in the movie. This is a masterpiece. I totally recommend
Wow! Probably THE BEST movie about UFO Phenomenon that can be taken seriously. I love how the young math student figures things out, won't just let it go. Most of the math is right, and not a bunch of BS from "actor-scientists" that makes no sense. Nice job on this movie, guys. Nice to have Gillian Anderson to give it a little bit of a credibility kick. Only glitch in my moind was her comment about "non-homogenous" differential equations - I remember these as "non-homogeneous" but I could be remembering it wrong - DiffEQ class was only 30 some-odd years ago, LoL. Really enjoyed this film.
As I watched this movie, I was struck by the fact that a large portion of the movie shows people Thinking! I am in awe of people who are able to do high level calculations & think about bigger more intricate things, and, Understand them! You could see them thinking about the problems as they followed the clues. Really well done.
I've been living with an event that took place over 50 years ago now. My friend Gary and I were 12 years old, we had snuck out of our houses after our parents had gone to bed. We were just walking around the neighborhood when night suddenly turned to day for about 2 seconds. Something happens to the mind when it encounters an event it can't comprehend. I still remember it but although Gary had the same reaction at the time, when I asked him about it later he denied that it happened. No explanation that I have ever come up with matches what happened. It was not a beam of light, it was daylight without the sun.
i am 62 and living with an event that happened when i was 12. my mother was holding open the screen door for me to run some paper trash out and burn it beside the woods behind our house, when i came back she was still frozen in place looking off into the sky. she spoke in a trance like state 'what is that..' i went back outside and studied the object as it slowly approached us, it went from about a mile away to 100 ft above us, floated there 5 minutes doing telepathy with me and then slowly floated away. my mother refused to talk about it afterwards, i thought about it at least once a week all my life. it changed the course of my life and altered my personality and every aspect of my life... for the better i think.
@scottjohn. when something is too traumatic for a personn the brain will arise it. So, for your friend, instead of thinking like you "whaou ! What a wonderfull expérience this is", he was so scared that "he could not beleave his eyes" ( as we say in France) and so he did ! For him, it didn't happened. For some expériences you need to be "ready" to "accept" them and so they can "move you" for the better instead of scaring you and add no benefits. His choice, but you decide to welcome it. What a nice twelve years old child you were ! Aand what a heavy secret to carry alone too. You must feel releaf now they declassified files... You where and are so many experiencing the same things. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Hope life is sweet with you.
More than half way thru it and I'm hooked big time. Great acting and script.....someone up here said it was based on a true story so it makes it way more interesting; the photography is superb as well.
I was once in a sushi bar in Malibu and turned to see Gillian sitting behind me. When she looked up at me with those big beautiful eyes, I was forever smitten. I'm sure she has always had that effect on people. Fun movie...
I'm actually a mathematician. Albeit, they used fairly rudimentary math within the story, the actual concept and execution was wonderful. A thoroughly enjoyable and feasible storyline.
feasable.. it happened.. they made us. they were here for millenia, before us.. viper tv sumerian tablets.. no one sat around for 24,000 yrs, working out precession.. we were told..
A fine film. Cerebral, without the histrionics of the coming alien apocalypse or global exterminations that plague most sci-fi. Alex Sharp reminded me of Russell Crowe's performance (as Dr. Nash) in A Beautiful Mind but without the mental illness. Give it a watch.
He doesn't have an illness. Correct. But neither does he have any understanding of the human mind. He is pretty much a calculator in a human body and that's it.
I'm just an average cat with a high school education but I joined the US Navy to get a little more knowledge on life's perspective. I chose operation specialist to learn about weapons handling and logistics, and ended up getting lessons in astronomy and the EXTRAORDINARY SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY.
Very interesting movie reminding me Contact (1997). The story is very attractive (without CGI) and the actors are excellent (Gillian in particular). Many thanks for making the movie available on RUclips.
Bravo. Far better than most mainstream movies, without even trying. Excellent performances and a minimalist need for such extravagances wasted on bigger films. Very glad to have stumbled upon this one.
I wish there were more movies based on true ufo events like this movie. It doesn’t get all sci-if Hollywood or take too many liberties. It’s a down to earth somewhat accurate telling of the event.
Nice. I saw a UFO on 17 October 1973 around 10 or 11pm hovering over a spot where Beverly Glen Canyon crosses Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, California. Don't remember the exact time. I was with a friend. We were both clean and sober. It had one light, was noiseless, hovered for a few minutes, then took off at an astonishing rate of speed -- direction West and up. Still noiseless.
Brilliant movie. Everyone involved did a great job. You will warm to the characters, you will be absorbed in the storyline. Just shows you don't need big budget, special effects/cgi to make a movie that captures your attention. I wholeheartedly recommend you watch this.
I'm only halfway through but I'm loving this. This movie came out in 2018 and has a grand total of... 0 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. How is that possible?
This is certainly a movie worth watching at any age. Now that the JWST is prompting a serious reconsideration of our current cosmological models and the age of deep data analytics and AI is at our doorstep, this movie is a great illustration of how mathematics is the only common language possible in a universe that challenges even our best and brightest minds.
The last scenes of this movie is thrilling. I didn’t really get the math jumbo but it didn’t matter. He found the next location of the UFO. Then the last lines….”do you know what this means….we’re not alone”.
Loved the math, the use of illustrations, and how a person solves the problem by thinking it out in their head, paper, computer, all tools to trying to solve the math. awesome.
Math should be precise. But in the film if trigonometry was used to determine the size of the object, it seemed there was no clear connection between size of a dime, at arms length, 200 feet below cloud cover yield 2700 feet, but where in the sky. Straight up, at 45 degrees. Unless there was a reference to what angle from the observer to the object you did not have the hypotenuse, and without that distance could not do a correlation using the dime and arm length to estimate size. Am I missing something . By the way an excellent movie. Well above benchmark.
Next to Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, this is the best UFO film I've seen - the pace, atmosphere, script & acting; really excellent. Thank you for making this available, it was a treat.
I was ACCIDENTALLY involved in an investigation with top military, and government officials during the Challengers STS-51 recovery operation back in March/April of '86... I heard, and saw THINGS I STILL can't decipher to this day...to make matters worse, a group of us sailors witnessed SOMETHING...a space craft NOT of THIS world 🛸
This was so much better than I expected. I was glued to it, not wanting to miss any of the story line, and with my adhd, it’s seldom that I can stay focused on a particular thing for longer than 15 minutes at a time, especially with my need to get up and move around doing something, for a little while, before I can sit back down and continue watching--Not this time. 🍿😳🥤. 👏👏👏 So, how long must I wait, for past 2🤷♀️???
Very fine science and math based movie with minimalist effects and intelligent dialog. Well acted, too, by both veteran and newcomer actors. Very rare indeed.
Something that makes this movie so intriguing is the use of real life facts, severe controversies, and the dramaturgy the government has been involved in to undermine anyone coming forward with information that no one can explain without causing a repercussion in conspiracy theories.
To mention....when the FBI was talking to his best scientist....the tension that they had no ideas to add to his questions put a lot of tension in the air!

The X-Files were based on real events that did take place, i'm living proof of this, and Chris Carter and Gillian (Scully & Molder) did Great job Presenting the characters.
Excellent movie 🎬 Thankyou!
@CarlJohnson-kk4pr Real events ? Are you kidding!? Nothing real about it. Nothing. Purely fictional. Facts.
Gosh, an intelligent UFO film on RUclips with zero clickbait nonsense or bullshit. Beautifuly understated, scripted and acted. Superb!
J'ai horreur quand tous les gens disent ou écrivent gosh. Comme en français, vous déformez la langue
You should look up the etymology of "gosh". It is pretty interesting. Change is an intrinsic factor of language.@@alinea6744

This movie is proof that brilliant movies can still be made without CGI, blood & guts, and shock factors. Again, brilliant production values, acting, writing...this movie ticks all the boxes. Thanks for the upload. Must watch.
But hard to believe these evil lousy days I mean that sincerely
I just started watching then I skiped 20 minutes and decided to watch from the beginning. It seems to be a nice UFO movie!
EDIT: great scriptwriting and very good acting! Nice!
It would still be nice to watch it in better-than-potato quality.
Then we would both have to pay for premium RUclips and I'm too cheap! LOL@@_Daio_
What’s the abbreviation CGI mean?
This was such a refreshing change... Nothing over-the-top, just an intelligent story. Gillian's come a long way over the years and the rest of the cast did a superb job, as well. It simply goes to show that intelligence still wins a lot of viewer's tastes over CGI/special effects. Finally, one of those rare movies I can enjoy mentally.
HA! Alot of us have been saying how we are just burnt on cgi. Funny I saw your comment here. 😊
XD
Interesting to note that Gillian believes in UFOs, while David Duchovny doesn't.
Astute ❤😊😊😊
I don't get this obsession of some people to fight against computer graphics anywhere they talk...
Fully enjoyed this film. None of the nonsense or crazy gore, just something on a more intelligent level of understanding. Loved it.
Randomly clicked on this movie for no particular reason... found myself being drawn in and couldn't stop until the end. I Love good storytelling and good acting. A good story well acted does not need a blockbuster budget.
pretty much the same here. 130AM wide awake is when i normally put on RUclips movies.
enjoyable enough to watch all the way through
Yeah, but the sequel should throw in a hundred million for what they saved on this one!
Yep👍
Same .. it was a suggested video and looked interesting.... turns out it was ...
Cincinnati really happened ... I guess that was a good jumping point as any They did a stellar job
What a fantastic movie. No cartoon special affects, just a great story. And, No unnecessary sub plots.
Or unnecessary budget.
The semi-romantic subplot annoyed me a little bit, but in hindsight it highlights the personal sacrifices / interpersonal failings of some of the greatest minds.
I don't like the message that you can just do whatever you want and not go to class and strike it big in life.@@----Jay----
Of course. Though it's a very niche case that someone going off the rails of life will land them a cosy government dream job, to be fair. He was burning bridges all around himself to get this puzzle solved. His room mate looked borderline suicidal near the end, and all the guy could do was ask for his car again. So he's definitely not the hero of the story. @@calsavestheworld
@calsavestheworld that's not the message, although it happens all d time
What a good movie. I really enjoyed it beginning to end, no CGI to take away our breathes, no built-in agenda, no dumbing it down, no blood and guts, just an interesting plot and some good acting. Thumbs up.
One of the most simple, but thought provoking, movies I've seen in a long time. The story drives the movie like it should and, the people in it are believable and intelligent. No stupid plot points and nothing to distract from the main story it portrays.
Thank you very much for putting it on RUclips.
Porn|-|ub has many simple, thought-provoking movies.
Good on you for sharing this with us! My son here in Vancouver worked on The X-Files and said Gillian Anderson isn’t just an amazing actress but a wonderful person. She came out of her trailer and personally signed a photo of herself to a young girl who was a fan. Trust me. They DON’T all do that!
That's why we don't see her very often at all - she's genuine😍!💝💯♾️
Hollywood actors and actresses used to do it. My brother wrote to many actors when he was a kids and all sent autographed photos. I can't remember all of them but remember John Wayne, Dennis Weaver, and George Peppard.
That woman is all class
A truly interesting film!
She was rude when I asked her to sign my poster. She sighed, signed it and shoved it back to me. When I asked her a question, she looked at me and just walked away. Made me feel like dirt.🙄
I seem to have waited a lifetime ( I`m 73 ) for an intelligent movie on potential extraterrestrial life like this to appear. I feel quite certain that the author and past chair of the department of astronomy at Harvard, Avi Loeb would appreciate this :)
Deeply thoughtful, carefully crafted, cerebral in content and avoiding the many pitfalls that most often plague any movie that attempts to consider this increasingly possible scenario, this movie is in itself, a rare event - thank you so much for uploading this to RUclips - very much appreciated :)
Seen Contact?
@@user-gv4cx7vz8t Mmm, possibly - if you are referring to the movie adapted from the book by Carl Sagan, starring Jodie Foster. I thought that film was underwhelming to be honest, but perhaps you may be have another in mind ?
Although very different in it's approach, and using extensive CG, I highly recommend Arrival. It has an intelligent angle that you slowly figure out along with the expert, whom in this case is a linguist.
@@jenna-a-gogo Thank you for jogging my memory - yes, the film ' Arrival ' was indeed an exceptionally well made film, carefully and intelligently constructed, with CG that did not get in the way of some wonderful acting.
Thought provoking on a variety of levels :)
Fantastic! Best film I’ve seen in awhile. Really wish there were more like this little gem. I didn’t want it to end.
it was sooooooo good omg..i'm dyingto know how much of it was TRUE?!?
They better produce the second one! Or even when he first saw it when a child. 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🙌
@@IhaytFukkingsocialmedia : How 'bout all of it?
I feel the same way.
This is a top-shelf movie. Gillian Anderson is a plus, but the production values were excellent. The music wasn't overbearing. There was no "Government BAD, plain people GOOD" predisposition. The logic was rather impeccable. Six stars out of five.
Something 'mainstream' Sci Fi could learn from this film,it's the story not the CGI that matters.
We want films we can watch,not consume.
We want content,not soulless CGI.
We want story,not merchandise.
That is true!! FACTS!!
Now, if the MSM were to newsflash multiple eye-👁️-witnesses saw O’biden with husband sitting sidebyside in a UFO’s passenger window, the 💩for🧠🧠 CHATTLE would sign up for the next flight home!!!
Demons need only apply
You've sold me on it, intelligently made movies are on the brink of extinction!
I hear ya. A horror movie can be scary and you never see a monster. That’s where actual acting is needed. Point your making????
I love CGI.
Lesson: For all of their scary power, governments are often led by some of the most scared people on earth, people who are terrified of losing their power and the control it grants them. Thanks for posting this excellent film.
True, that’s one cohort. There are others who lie for the love of lying, for their hatred of humanity and their desire to weaken it or destroy it. And a third cohort, who are ambitious but lack ability. So their strategy is sell themselves to the other two cohorts, promising to commit any crime to please their masters (Biden).
True , our government is so afraid of losing it grip on control over us, that very little growth really happens. And that then then split up work of discovery across 9 to 20 " ivy league colleges ". Compartmentalize.
Yeah, the presentation about energy was cringy. That implied-like-natural assumed need to get more energy.
We have difficulty learning how to control less when we have more. That makes us dangerous dummies.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). People driven to positions of power and control over others are often narcissists.
Free energy everywhere. Someone tries to control it, to control us.
Ah, the lost art of story-telling! A compelling tale, good believable characters that you can actually relate with. Well written too. THIS is how films should be made. Thanks for sharing it!
One question though, why is it always the US they visit?
Same reason why it's China or Russia the events happen in when they make the movies. It doesn't feel as real when it happens somewhere else.
They visit all over the world. You just don’t hear about it much from other countries because people are discouraged to discuss it openly, for fear of repercussions from their government. It can get you locked up, sent to a mental institution or killed.
In real life I suspect there is quite a bit of ufo activity in 3rd world countries, lots of abductions I’m sure. 😮
👽
It's not only the US. Tho, the US is more transparent about the topic. In other countries it's still considered as a joke and never followed by media (Europe), in some countries it's forbidden to talk about it (Asia), and in some other countries UFOs are so common that no one really cares anymore (South America). It's basically like that.
Brilliant film. To think I wasted nearly three hours of my life recently watching Joachim Phoenix mumble his way through “Napoleon” at the cinema when I could have been at home, engrossed in a top quality film like this. Simply the best first contact film since the original “The Day The Earth Stood Still”.
Napoleon 😂 how could you pass 10 min in the film. It looked like Joaquine was terminally bored. So I left right away.
@@vamama100 thanks , i will not waste my precious time watching Napoleon with J. Ph.
🤣🤣🤣
No special effects, great storytelling and outstanding acting. Thank god they still make movies like this. Superb!!!!!
Greetings from holland.
The bland leading the blind works for you.
Glad you enjoyed the movie 🎬 Blessings from Upper Midwest USA 🇺🇸
I agree, this was amazing!
@PM2022
So that make you, "the bland" or "the blind" ?
hello holland...bonjour
Absolutely Brilliant. No CGI, no little gray men, just a fantastic story line. Mathematics as a form of communication. Absolutely believable.
Are you glad to be gullible for once?
@PM2022 are you glad to be close minded
Of course we may refer to Carl Sagan's book Contact, where math is a protagonist of the story, and number π is, literally, at the center of a research.
You are the one who had railed against 'CGI, little gray men', only to replace those beliefs with your own absolute one. I don't expect you to be critically introspective. Other than that, the movie is as banal as any Hallmark movie--fit for your consumption, to be sure.@@Jon-yx8wu
You can refer to any belief system you want; meanwhile, the movie itself is no mathematical treatise at all.@@ildefonsogiron4034
After I saw a UFO while stationed in Japan (over 50 years ago,) I told many people and even called the aircraft control tower, etc. No one believed me; they in fact teased me, but I know what I saw. We are not alone, indeed! Great movie!
My son told me about how a friend of his who lives out in the countryside had seen one. It had really shaken him up apparently. Sorry you were treated like that
My mother saw a UFO on a summer's evening when she was talking to a neighbour, not many people believed her, apart from me that is
I saw Santa’s sleigh and reindeer in the sky when I was about 8 yo. while me and my friend were playing in his back yard by the wood pile. That would be about 50 years ago. It was broad daylight.
Aliens aren't much different than us from a simular atmosphere just some kind of animal like man we've never seen before. Unfortunately the earth is so corrupt that they use AI.
Saw a silver scroll shaped UFO stop right over the top of my house in 2011. It was big really big. Bigger than the house. It flew off at break neck speed. They are here, always have been😊
This is an excellent movie , we want the sequel . Do not let this franchise fade away . But always , based on true events .
Looking forward to the next movie , with an open mind . Thank you for this one .
@1 hour 12 minutes I was stunned by Gillians performance...the writing, directing and acting surpasses STNG by a light year. The ending brought me to tears!! The government asking the student to join them was priceless. "With your help!"... "we are not alone!"
STNG?
@@kukenballe7063 Maybe OP is referring to Star Trek Next Generation.
@@ivanfreely6366 strange thing to compare in that case, I mean it's not like TNG is bad lol
They do this all the time... hackers get employed too...😂 they urgently need "out of the box" thinking people...
😮😮😮😮
This was one of the best ufo movies I've seen in a long time which is saying a lot considering there are no aliens in the movie and it's largely a bunch of unknown actors that pull this movie off. This is not to say that both Gillian Anderson and David Strathairn aren't brilliant in their roles because they are. Definitely worth your time to watch this. This is my 2nd time watching and I'll probably watch it again.
If you haven’t watched the movie the fourth kind it’s worth a watch I thought it was a good UFO film film documentary
Agreed.
did you seen the ufo in the end? on the car windscreen?
His roommate looked alien to me.
Don't forget to 'STAR" it for later watching!!!
Sending messages to outer space is as suicidal as finding yourself in a jungle and you start shouting for help when predators , cannibals and head hunters can come for you...
Some animals and hunters do end up being friendly. It's a gamble.
or we're the monsters
Somebody watches too much Hollywood and listens to mainstream media. Research and self education can take you a long way
Out of nowhere RUclips recommends this, and it was so much more than I thought! Great movie.
Synchronicity at work via your friendly Y/T AI
just like the UFO in this picture, everything has to be somewhere and nothing comes out of nowhere.
Gillian Anderson saved the film for me.
Amazing actress and one of the most beautiful presence I know. WOW!
I love these films because the young actors and most other characters look so real. No perfect faces, no buff bodies, just regular people. And they are good at their craft already. And without perfect looks, they may have never been given a chance. But it is my hope that the big “movie makers” will finally notice the incredible talent in average looking people like in this movie and give them further work in the industry. They deserve the chance.
What an exciting, heart-pounding movie based on math with no chases, explosions, gun fights, or special effects. Maybe we will next see a film based on the real story of the triangular lights over Phoenix. I hope the real student this account was based on was offered a high-level job where his extraordinary talents will help us answer the questions about our existence.
Does anyone know what happened to him after this? Most exciting part- his professor getting her gestalt suddenly-the so realistic way he grabbed up his notes to run out of the class- and the credit due his roommate for believing him (unlike his mom) and lending him the car one more time.
Sorry for the epic, long comments-but I was extraordinarily moved by this story, the real people who lived it, and the superb portrayal of ordinary students by real actors. And my sadness that Carl Sagan was not there to bear witness and receive actualization for his lifelong yearning.
No need for apologies because you put into words what everyone was thinking. Well said
I mean, Ella Purnell isn't exactly average looking is she?
Anything triangular shaped, i.e. Phoenix lights is made in the USA
@@cadkls She looks like a hybrid experiment
@@cadkls I mean
I loved the eureka moment when the professor froze on stage when she solved the equation sent by the extraterrestrials. Perfect casting with Gillian Anderson as the mathematics professor. I have watched this movie about 10 times!
Excellent movie with none of the bombastic cinematics that distract from good writing and performances.
Alex Sharp and Gillian Anderson really excelled here. I need to go see what else Alex has done now.
One of the best UFO genre films I've ever seen, hands down. I clicked for Gillian Anderson and stayed for the film. Didn't even break for a smoke. Bravo!
I missed lunch!
I didn't either, but I barely smoke anymore as it is. The movie is beautifully suspenseful, and just well done all around. I need to check who the writer was....
I’ve been considering taking up the habit of smoking. What is your advice on whether to begin and do you suggest any particular cigar/cigarette brands? I’d rather not “vape” as it seems too trendy for a misanthrop like myself to adopt. Also, I agree that this was a good movie.
I really hope you're kidding. I do not recommend smoking for ANYONE,although studies have shown that nicotine MAY treat the symptoms and/or delay the onset of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. But nicotine can be administered without smoking. I wish I'd never started.
@@michaellee6489 I was kidding. Sometimes I write ridiculous comments. I’ve thankfully never smoked (or vaped). I’ve chewed tobacco a couple of times. I drink strong IPAs and stouts. I’ve recently become physically addicted “chowdering.” As for UFOs, I think both possibilities are fascinating, though being truly alone in the universe seems to produce the most unsettling ramifications, IMO.
This was sooo much better than I expected it to be ! Thank you for finding this gem and posting it. Wonderful, REAL sci-fi!
Chiva
I agree. Just hard work and intelligence. I wish more movies were like this.
Excellent. Low key, thoughtful, no hysterics (or clever CGI), well-acted. I have seen lesser films with huge budgets. Well done, everyone involved can be proud. Thanks!
Intensely intellectual and powerfully dramatic film. I'm amazed I hadn't heard about it until now. Thanks for posting and sharing it with us.
Alex Sharp did a great job as the lead actor. I've never seen him before but I hope to see him again. Very strong performances from all the lead actors. What a great movie that I highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for uploading. A fan from NYC. ❤❤
Marvelous! A quality sci-fi movie, no CGI and no one got shot! Wonders will never cease.
GREAT FLICK! Superb acting, writing and mathematics to die for. No special effects nonsense - just a great story that ramps up all the way to the end.
Thank you Voyage for sharing this feature film.
The truth is closer than we think.
Fascinating development of the plot. Gillian Anderson is the perfect fit for the Professor especially with her background with the X-Files.
Remember seeing the previews, glad I watched it. Have respected Anderson's work since the X-Files. This was a well written, good continuity film with entities interacting and solving a puzzle. Very well shot and edited, should have gotten more attention.
Had a crush on her
Should have gotten sequels 2, 3 & 4+...
@@williamdon3442 past tense ?... 😮... 😍
They should have shown how the real sky looks like with no light pollution. Most people have never seen it.
@@RoxanneM- Perhap, but that wouldn't have been true about the area the film was based upon...
I live in a rural area myself & as a former city dweller, I marvel at nights like that.. especially when theres no moonlight, just stars...you can even watch the tiny dots of reflected light from satellites speeding across the night sky...🙂
😎👍☘🍺
I remember reading about this
sighting. The student/college aspect is fictional
but the drama was definitely riveting. I'm glad the Military aspect didn't throw sand into
the gears of the story. Those pesky
Generals have a way of messing up a good story.
A classic. I feel energized watching this movie because it's so well made.
Astounding to find it down the tube. There are beautiful people in this world who make beautiful things.
If you skip over the first minute of scroll....then you could miss the APEX of the moment of 1 hour 12 minutes when Professor Hendricks has her 'aha' moment and focuses her attention on Derek. A brillaint movie and kudos to the writer and director. I would be so pleased if their was a sequel at the 10 year mark!!! As Picard would say...'make it so!'
I'm very impressed. Well researched, well written, smart script. Cinematography and music are great. Excellent cast and direction. A good story well told, with engaging characters well drawn. It doesn't try to do too much. Movies like this prove it's still the quality of storytelling that matters most. This is very intelligent film-making. Well done!
copy that...
miss the xfiles...
Me too!
Do you want to know about the alien spaceship? Then, I will you the truth and nothing but the truth. They are far more advanced than humans The alien spaceship is totally perfectly a disc type. Semi-dome, flat belly with big one light on the center with 7 or 8 round lights on the edge of the belly, aluminum or platinum composition, It hovered without sound with ease. Maybe 40 meters in diameter and zoomed into space in a blink of an eye. wow, speed of light. I can't forget what I experienced. I will never forget this beautiful 15-minute encounter until my last breath. This is true and nothing but the truth.
Wait till you see what I saw, one late evening and it was raining, two types of light engaging almost like a war was going on because how unlinier they were moving. The crazy part is it is not near like an airplane, but more near than the stars at the back.
While my mom had witness a long light like fluorescent lamp, bright than the moon, but motionless. Dissappear once the sun rise.
Both we saw at the horizon. And it is always in the area where the military training space, both in different times and places. Me at my 90s and my mom at her 60s to early 70s.
OMGOSH, this was a great movie! And I do love Gillian Anderson. I was a huge X-Files fan. I feel that no-show has come close to being as good as X-Files was. This movie was one of the best I’ve seen in a very long time.
I gotta say, I'm blown away with how a film made in 2018 and uploaded to RUclips in the last month of 2023 can manage to not only cap out at 480p, but very much appears to have been sourced from a file that may have been even smaller in resolution and crushed to death by compression. An incredible feat when seeing that the thumbnail looks better than the actual video. Just a bit more bit crushing and the intro text would have barely been legible. Truly, an experience that perfectly compliments the director's vision in a film where large vistas of the sparkling mystery of space gets reduced to blocky cobweb chunks of digital noise squirm against each other like breaks in a greasy film formed over top a thin soup that's sat a bit too long in the bowl 🥰
This movie made my brain happy. And I really liked how the professor strongly implied that trivial does not equal unimportant.
Trivial does mean unimportant though. No?
@largemarge3506 Generally yes, however assigning the label 'trivial' to something doesn't mean it actually is.
Trivial can also mean 'extremely simple', or even 'esoteric'
Once again, Gillian Anderson turns a rather confusing and full movie into a thing of depth and beauty. I think she is highly underrated, like Glen Close. Brilliant women far ahead of their times. So brilliant, they scare the producers and directors around them.
Unfortunately Gilliam still mumbles her lines. Ugg………..
lol she is hot
I thought she did a wonderful job. She was perfect for the part. I didn’t have any problems understanding her and my hearing isn’t that good either.
I didn't think the movie was confusing at all. Gillian Anderson is a great actress and the X-Files were good but I think your are inflating her impact on the movie.
@@davidpatmagee7743 - "Inflating her impact"?? Well, of course!! She's Dana Scully. 😊😊😊
I really loved this movie. So smart. Whoever did the math for them deserves an Emmy for intellect alone. Will watch again.
What a refreshing breath of fresh air in such a well-done movie. Renews my faith - hell, the actors in this had all the right stuff! Bravo.
In October 2009, I was listening to Radio Canada through the internet when I was in Cyprus. The radio animator asked the people to stop calling the Montreal police for reporting a UFO sighting over the airport as this was overloading the 911 system. He even mentioned that the three triangular shaped objects that were hovering over the West Island disrupting airport operations did not seem aggressive and that there was no reason to worry. I never heard about this story again.
Sometime around February of 1978, in Tucson, Arizona, while I was walking home from work in the early twilight, I saw 4 brilliant lights hanging low, maybe 15 degrees above the horizon, in a perfectly straight line, completely motionless. Two of the lights were brilliant white, two were brilliant blue, alternately in the row. I watched them for maybe ten minutes before I had to board a bus which took me around a corner, putting the lights out of sight. Weird as this was, I was too tired to think much about it-- it just resisted thought, it was so baffling. The next morning at breakfast, I saw a tiny article in the back pages of the newspaper: hundreds of people had called in to the city police reporting these lights hanging low in the sky west of town. The article said that the police had called the commander of the Airforce base that is next to Tucson, asking if they knew anything about these lights. The Airforce said that they knew nothing about them, and that they were not anything that the Airforce had anything to do with. Readers should note that there was no drone technology at that time that could produce such a phenomenon. Nor could they be explained as tethered balloons, as they were absolutely motionless. Also, they would have had to have a pretty hefty power source, as they were so brilliant. They presented no form or characteristics beyond just being dazzling points of light. Like yours, this was a story that I have never heard about again.
Wow, Gillian looming like she did in X-files! I got super into the X-files when it started in 1993, great series and Gillian was amazing! She was perfect in every episode, I still love to see stuff she's in!
Try: The House of Mirth (2000)
You’ve seen Hannibal I presume. She is great in that. Still gorgeous.
Gillian is like a fine bottle of wine, only gets better with age.
Yes, I've seen Hannibal and House of Mirth.

so true...
A good, well-wriiten, well-acted low-budget movie. Compliments to Ms. Anderson and Mr. Strathairn for appearing. Nicely done, all. Nicely done indeed.
Me being a science student, I enjoyed this movie to the fullest and shockingly, I could understand most of the narratives, formulas and even arguments discussed in the movie. This is a masterpiece. I totally recommend
Good movie. But for those people that didn't know this movie is based on a true event that actually happend
Got any proof of that being a true event? And don't come with that BS the so called experts are always saying. If you seen something, let's have it.
Right... except we have no evidence of any alien ever in recorded history...
@@eyeinthesky7336but evidence galore of UAPs.

If "they" haven't scrubbed it check out the UFO incident @ Chicago O'Hare Airport.
This movie exceeded my expectations. They say less is more, and this is one of those rare occasions where less is not enough.
Oh wow, someone uploaded this movie. I saw this movie over a year ago and I thought it was very thought provoking.
Wow! Probably THE BEST movie about UFO Phenomenon that can be taken seriously. I love how the young math student figures things out, won't just let it go. Most of the math is right, and not a bunch of BS from "actor-scientists" that makes no sense. Nice job on this movie, guys. Nice to have Gillian Anderson to give it a little bit of a credibility kick. Only glitch in my moind was her comment about "non-homogenous" differential equations - I remember these as "non-homogeneous" but I could be remembering it wrong - DiffEQ class was only 30 some-odd years ago, LoL. Really enjoyed this film.
This is just an awesome movie. Intelligent story, great acting and engages viewer in the story and makes you think. 10/10
That was a great flick! Well done. Gillian, Alex and especially David Strathairn are sensational. Bravo 🙌
As I watched this movie, I was struck by the fact that a large portion of the movie shows people Thinking!
I am in awe of people who are able to do high level calculations & think about bigger more intricate things, and, Understand them! You could see them thinking about the problems as they followed the clues. Really well done.
Same here. The math is definitely beyond my educational level, but the portrayal of intelligence is enticing.
A wonderfully subtle and unsensationalised film. Very enjoyable. Thank you for uploading.
Anything with Anderson or Strathairn in is worth a look, with both, its a must see. Excellent movie, couldn't stop watching.
I've been living with an event that took place over 50 years ago now. My friend Gary and I were 12 years old, we had snuck out of our houses after our parents had gone to bed. We were just walking around the neighborhood when night suddenly turned to day for about 2 seconds. Something happens to the mind when it encounters an event it can't comprehend. I still remember it but although Gary had the same reaction at the time, when I asked him about it later he denied that it happened. No explanation that I have ever come up with matches what happened. It was not a beam of light, it was daylight without the sun.
Someone else may have also seen that . . Be hard to find out now but worth a try
i am 62 and living with an event that happened when i was 12. my mother was holding open the screen door for me to run some paper trash out and burn it beside the woods behind our house, when i came back she was still frozen in place looking off into the sky. she spoke in a trance like state 'what is that..' i went back outside and studied the object as it slowly approached us, it went from about a mile away to 100 ft above us, floated there 5 minutes doing telepathy with me and then slowly floated away.
my mother refused to talk about it afterwards, i thought about it at least once a week all my life. it changed the course of my life and altered my personality and every aspect of my life... for the better i think.
I too have had similar experiences in the mid to late 1970's. My life has been without fear since. I was changed somehow.
@scottjohn. when something is too traumatic for a personn the brain will arise it. So, for your friend, instead of thinking like you "whaou ! What a wonderfull expérience this is", he was so scared that "he could not beleave his eyes" ( as we say in France) and so he did ! For him, it didn't happened. For some expériences you need to be "ready" to "accept" them and so they can "move you" for the better instead of scaring you and add no benefits. His choice, but you decide to welcome it. What a nice twelve years old child you were ! Aand what a heavy secret to carry alone too. You must feel releaf now they declassified files... You where and are so many experiencing the same things. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Hope life is sweet with you.
Watch John Travolta in the 1996 movie Phenomenon. You might see something there that interests you.

A fine film. Cerebral, without the histrionics of the coming alien apocalypse or global exterminations that plague most sci-fi. Alex Sharp reminded me of Russell Crowe's performance (as Dr. Nash) in A Beautiful Mind but without the mental illness. Give it a watch.
He doesn't have an illness. Correct. But neither does he have any understanding of the human mind. He is pretty much a calculator in a human body and that's it.

Very interesting movie reminding me Contact (1997). The story is very attractive (without CGI) and the actors are excellent (Gillian in particular). Many thanks for making the movie available on RUclips.
This is a beautiful movie, it goes way beyond and deeper than just another UFO movie. Fresh, intelligent, interesting. Thank you for this gem🙏👌🏻❤️
Bravo. Far better than most mainstream movies, without even trying. Excellent performances and a minimalist need for such extravagances wasted on bigger films. Very glad to have stumbled upon this one.
I wish there were more movies based on true ufo events like this movie. It doesn’t get all sci-if Hollywood or take too many liberties. It’s a down to earth somewhat accurate telling of the event.
Nice. I saw a UFO on 17 October 1973 around 10 or 11pm hovering over a spot where Beverly Glen Canyon crosses Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, California. Don't remember the exact time. I was with a friend. We were both clean and sober. It had one light, was noiseless, hovered for a few minutes, then took off at an astonishing rate of speed -- direction West and up. Still noiseless.
Brilliant movie. Everyone involved did a great job. You will warm to the characters, you will be absorbed in the storyline. Just shows you don't need big budget, special effects/cgi to make a movie that captures your attention. I wholeheartedly recommend you watch this.
I'm only halfway through but I'm loving this.
This movie came out in 2018 and has a grand total of... 0 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. How is that possible?
This is certainly a movie worth watching at any age. Now that the JWST is prompting a serious reconsideration of our current cosmological models and the age of deep data analytics and AI is at our doorstep, this movie is a great illustration of how mathematics is the only common language possible in a universe that challenges even our best and brightest minds.
thing is.. aliens,,tought us math.. farming, magnetic north, map of the solar system. time of precession. 24,000 yrs.. THEY, MADE, US,.
The reason why mathematics is the only, only perfect language is because it is of our perfect God.

Perfect god? Who made you blind for the imperfect and believe that there's a so called god?
This proofs, that you don't need a huge film budget or CGI that makes supercomputer brains smoke, but just a good story. Well done.
Absolutely brilliant film - caught and kept my attention from beginning to end. More please!!
The last scenes of this movie is thrilling. I didn’t really get the math jumbo but it didn’t matter. He found the next location of the UFO. Then the last lines….”do you know what this means….we’re not alone”.
Loved the math, the use of illustrations, and how a person solves the problem by thinking it out in their head, paper, computer, all tools to trying to solve the math. awesome.
Math should be precise. But in the film if trigonometry was used to determine the size of the object, it seemed there was no clear connection between size of a dime, at arms length, 200 feet below cloud cover yield 2700 feet, but where in the sky. Straight up, at 45 degrees. Unless there was a reference to what angle from the observer to the object you did not have the hypotenuse, and without that distance could not do a correlation using the dime and arm length to estimate size. Am I missing something . By the way an excellent movie. Well above benchmark.
Next to Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, this is the best UFO film I've seen - the pace, atmosphere, script & acting; really excellent. Thank you for making this available, it was a treat.
I'm a math and science nerd, and I know we're not alone, there's too much proof, and that's why I loved this movie 10/10 🤘👽🤘
Excellent movie. I didn't expect it to be so professional.
One of the really better "alien" movies I've seen. Definitely worth watching.
Absolutely worth watching... a calm and clever movie
Precisely . . . Was A Continuation Movie Made ?
I was ACCIDENTALLY involved in an investigation with top military, and government officials during the Challengers STS-51 recovery operation back in March/April of '86... I heard, and saw THINGS I STILL can't decipher to this day...to make matters worse, a group of us sailors witnessed SOMETHING...a space craft NOT of THIS world 🛸
svaler , that sounds interesting . @@user-zi8ux6fy2n
agree....
This was so much better than I expected. I was glued to it, not wanting to miss any of the story line, and with my adhd, it’s seldom that I can stay focused on a particular thing for longer than 15 minutes at a time, especially with my need to get up and move around doing something, for a little while, before I can sit back down and continue watching--Not this time. 🍿😳🥤. 👏👏👏
So, how long must I wait, for past 2🤷♀️???
Loved this! Right in my wheelhouse. Free YT movies are such a lottery, but i hit the jackpot here. Thanks for uploading.
Simple and good, rare you see a movie like this this days
Gillian Anderson is a beautiful enigma. She gets more and more beautiful every year.
Very fine science and math based movie with minimalist effects and intelligent dialog. Well acted, too, by both veteran and newcomer actors. Very rare indeed.
Are we alone? Really enjoyed this movie… thank you for uploading!
Something that makes this movie so intriguing is the use of real life facts, severe controversies, and the dramaturgy the government has been involved in to undermine anyone coming forward with information that no one can explain without causing a repercussion in conspiracy theories.
Great comment!
To mention....when the FBI was talking to his best scientist....the tension that they had no ideas to add to his questions put a lot of tension in the air!
There aren't any non real life facts. They're just facts. 😊
@@E-Kat Try to explain that to a politician....or anyone else that works for the government
@@qinelenleawatanabe2162 well pointed out! Thank you. 🤣
