Are there any people on this board that believe this movie is real?


I don't care if you like the movie or not. I am just curious to see if anyone actually believes this happened.

This movie fails because appeals so damn hard to the audience that everything is real, it's just annoying, the "Real" footage look too fake, anyone who knows a little of video edition can see that.

The most disturbing thing about this movie was not that the producers were willing to lie, and perpetrate an actual fraud, was seeing the number of idiots who actually swallow this total nonsense.

It's easy to see how Obama got elected, given the level of gullibility in the U.S.

It was just the "Blair Witch Project Meets the Spacemen."

Pathetic.

The truly sad thing is that if Obama went on TV and said that we needed to reelect him so he could protect us from an alien invasion, a high percentage of the 18 to 30 voters would probably swallow it.

Really? You had to go anti-American & political?

It was interesting to me how the people who believed it was real, kept denying all the evidence that proved it wasn't. They had already made up their minds about it.
But I guess, I am the same. If I ever experienced aliens or demons, I would check myself into a psychiatric hospital. Or realize that I had taken too much Adrenochrome.

Personally I don't believe the movie itself is real, but I do believe alien abduction is real. And the events described have happened all over the world.
And in fact in Nome, in 2000, there were several disappearances that were credited to alien abduction and nine bodies still haven't been found.
So the movie might not be real but the events are and the phenomenon is in fact very real.

If there is anyone out there over the age of 13 that truly entertained that this film was 'real' they should castrate themselves immediately. It was a slice of enjoyable and rather mediocre fun, the sense of outrage and scorn certain people project onto the film makers in thinking they were 'conned' should be directed toward themselves, simply because they were dim enough to believe its mild pretentions in the first place.

In defense of Cinema though, it's encouraging that some still go to the pictures to find truths when they sit down to drink a litre of Coke and quaff popcorn for an hour and a half while expecting to be entertained at the same time.

At least when Orson Wells performed his radio broadcast of War of the Worlds people hadn't experienced such a thing before, you can at least forgive them for that.

I did not believe it at all. The "real" Dr Abby to me did not convince me. Also if the police department were uncooperative how the heck did they get the "real" footage of the house from the police car? Come on. Movie makers are trying so hard to put a "twist" ending on every film that the twist is now expected and never a surprise. Sure some creepy real life stories are out there but this movie was far too formulaic to convince me.

I thought the 'real' footage was real, since the acting in them seemed a lot more authentic compared to the 'movie' scenes. I actually had to look it up to see if this was based off of actual events or not.
