UFO Encounters (2019 Video)
6/10
I Just Got CGI'ed to Death!!!
31 October 2021
Audio & narration are excellent, the information is accurate but for a visual presentation this movie is a Chernobyl.

You can't hold an audience when 90% of your presentation consists of amateur CGI of cited events.

Except on rare occasions, images and video still rule human interest.

CGI does best as a supplement, not a means.

If a mistake was made in this effort, that's the one that was made with this particular movie.

The Internet is loaded with images and videos of most events in this movie. Why the producers didn't insert them is puzzling. Maybe they are concerned about copyright issues, I don't know.

Another "why haven't I seen this before?" flick

Great Movie. I love it.

Last 15min shows you what special FX were like in late 60s and they did a good job without CGI.

The space scenes are awesome -they have a special feel to them- but watch the blu-ray if you can do it.

Sadly, The final performance of Dan Duryea.

This movie to the best of my knowledge was NOT widely distributed on television in any markets I am aware of.

Many people on social media have also commented along these lines as well.

Russia, China, and UFO's are the main topic of this movie.

You don't see that in too many sci-fi movies of the era & releasing the movie during the tumultuous times of the late 1960s probably didn't help market possibilities.

This aside- It is definitely an entertaining movie with great 1960s talent like Dan Duryea, Lois Nettleton, Vincent Beck, Bernard Fox, and others.

Again, cool movie and fun to watch.
