Ancient Aliens Debunked Audience Reviews

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Phil Morgan Garbage. You cannot debunk Ancient Aliens, all you can do is disagree with them & only believe the mainstream theories that have been accepted for years, which is bullshit. Of course AA wants you to believe everything is Aliens, but anyone with half a brain can figure out what to take them serious on, and what not to. In many episodes,you can absolutely see there was Alien intervention, it's obvious, unless you are in denial. Not because they said so, but because there was real evidence long before AA existed. It must take someone with no life whatsoever, to waste time making this debunking film. These so called filmmakers are not intelligent. Get a life.
jakobjankamminga Watching Ancient Aliens Debunked, the 2012 response to the popular series about the "ancient astronaut theory", is like visiting a Wikipedia page for a paper. As actual scientific inquiry, it doesn't fully hold up, but the film does a really good job at supplying you with the proper resources and directions you need to do your own research, or entertain you if you just want to see some decent bashing of the popular series.As the latter, it's not that spectacular for the full three hours. It's a long sit, and although some sections hold up fine as pieces of documentary, watching the whole thing in one go does get pretty boring. It seems unfair to judge it for this, however, because unlike Ancient Aliens itself, it is nobly devoted to the truth, boring as it may be.What does seem fair to judge it on, is its bias towards some Christian beliefs, in the sections about ancient texts on great floods and the nephilim, and its making the same argumentative mistakes as Ancient Aliens itself. In these sections, producer and narrator Chris White spills a lot of the credibility he built up in the preceding hours. He compensates this well by encouraging viewers to do their own research and form their own opinions. As is stressed in the film, one should only accept authority if what the authority says is true can in principle be discovered to be true. This is what ultimately makes the project worthwhile, although showing from the continued existence (and popularity) of the Ancient Aliens series, much work remains to be done...
intrepidami To so methodically research and debunk many, many claims by Ancient Aliens and accuse them constantly of bait and switch, and leaps of faith and then spoil it all by throwing in his own debunked tenant belief that ancient Hebrew texts were meticulously handed down perfectly replicated, by offering one example as concrete proof? Don't you realize what you did there? It's their own contention that many of their thoughts, and theories might be wrong, but they just have to be right once to prove their whole point.You did the same thing! You need to go read Bart Ehrmans books on the MYTH that the Bible scrolls were handed down perfectly unaltered son. With over 10,000 known historic alterations/edits/changes before even being translated to paper! Nowadays practically every word has been substituted for another in somebodies translation, but those ancient scribes did plenty of edits themselves! I understand why you believe it, it's been a constant teaching in Christian fundamentalism that the Perfect Bible got handed down perfectly forever, but its just not true and been completely debunked.Shattered glass house.
Yggdrasil Ancient Aliens Debunked is for the most part a proper step-by-step debunking. The 'Ancient Aliens' History Channel show makes many ridiculous claims which are carefully taken apart and refuted.Although the film is rather long, at 3 hours, this is understandable as there is a lot of material to cover. It's clearly structured making it easy to watch the subject you're interested in.Be warned though. The director, Chris White, is a fundamentalist Christian and this unfortunately colors his perception on subjects related to biblical events. I was quite surprised to hear him suddenly make leaps of logic that would not have looked out of place on the 'Ancient Aliens' show. It boggles my mind how someone can analyze and debunk that show so logically and lucidly, while apparently being unable to apply that skill to his own beliefs.Still, I would say 90% of the material presented is worthwhile and interesting. Just don't take White too seriously when he deals with claims involving biblical events.
