Area 51: The Alien Interview Audience Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
lweber86 This video is definitely entertaining. I enjoyed watching it and the video of the interview is somewhat convincing the alien, to me, looks real.But, I believe that the entire thing is a huge fake. Not the just the video itself, but everything. Rocket Pictures is (was) a real company, but that's the only real part. The whole story is fake. It isn't like someone faked the video and then this Victor guy is acting like he worked at Area 51 and trying to fool Rocket pictures. My theory is that "Victor" doesn't exist. He is an actor. His answers to the questions aren't consistent. And if you watch the version that has the second interview with Victor, he is an entirely different person- meaning the way he acts is entirely different (obviously you don't know if it is or isn't because his identity is concealed). He is much more opinionated and discloses all sorts of information that really doesn't have anything to do with the original interview with the Alien. It all just seemed very theatrical to me. Also the supposed owner of Rocket pictures is not a good actor. He is clearly lying about Victor. He won't hold eye contact with the camera for longer than a fraction of a second. And the story about when Victor first approached him over the phone about the tape he thought it was his brother playing a prank on him just seems a little cheesy and fabricated. The video of the interview itself is pretty neat. Ill admit it had me going for a while, but there are holes there too. Why so dark? Because the alien is sensitive to light but then the "doctors" fix the supposed seizure by shining a light in his eyes and wiping his mouth? And I'm not a video expert but it seems to me that you could change the voices on the tape like they did with victors instead of just deleting them. All in all its pretty entertaining, if nothing else, watch it to decide for yourself. I would love for a real alien video to someday make it out, so I'm not a "skeptic" per say. This isn't it though.
travis-s-barnes This is a fake. Why would any interview or interrogation be conducted in darkness? I have never seen medics manhandle a patient the way these guys handle the "ALIEN." They just run and and wave their flashlights around. They don't seem to examine him at all. Also, the "ALIEN's" head doesn't move with any fluidity, like most animals. It seems to jerk unnaturally and move stiffly like a puppet. This is obviously a hoax to try and make money off of a large group of people who want to believe in something fantastic. Don't waste your money. You can see just the video on YouTube. ooh ooh IOU OR ooh ooh coo ooh ooh OR OR IOU IOU ooh Ohio
Max_Doobermin Now, I am a person who believes the stories about the EBE and the reverse engineering of crafts, and alien intervention in human evolution. I believe those kinds of wild things. But there is just something about this interview for me that doesn't hold up. The director is doing "Night of the Living Dead 3D." The supposed production company in the movie doesn't even exist as far as i can tell (Rocket Pictures). In the IMDb company credits for this movie there is a company whose sound stage was used. The company also did the animatronics for Star Kid. Star Kid is a sci-fi family adventure with a strange looking robot like alien. However, the basic design of the animatronic face is eerily similar to that of the EBE in this interview. Perhaps Broadstreet and Benson had a cool concept of creating an elaborate mockumentary based on all the information they had heard about aliens. Or perhaps they were even paid to put on such a hoax to provide disinformation. Vega 7 produced this movie and only this movie. Is it not possible that this animatronics company created EBE and used their sound stage to record this infamous footage? I am not saying for sure whether or not this is real. I am just saying that this image could easily be achieved through puppetry and animatronics. But then again...this could be the only known footage of a real live alien being. I guess ultimately it's your call.
HannibaltheGreat Has been 9 years since the release of this film and to all intensive purposes it's dropped off the radar, even the producers (Rocket films) have deleted the disc from release. This fact does not dilute the impact of the footage. You either accept this person 'Victor' as genuine or not. If you think he's fraudster then you won't give a shred of credence to the alien interview footage he presents. If however you're open minded enough to entertain the possibility that 'Victor' is for real and he has covertly acquired something incredible from the Nevada Groom Lake facility then the footage becomes serious food for thought. IMO the footage is at the very least impressive. Considering it was delivered to the film company in 1996 (before CGI was widespread in Hollywood) the 'interviewee' looks very real and solid. It moves oddly, in a jerky (non puppet) out of time way. I have never seen that movement depicted in any other Hollywood sci-fi flick. The glass partition between interviewer and his subject also made me think this could be real. I doubt fraudsters would have thought of adding this – especially as its so subtle on the film. Overall, I rate this tape much higher than the Santini 'autopsy' from 97. I feel the 'Victor' footage was tainted by that obvious fraud and for that reason has been largely forgotten about. Now we're approaching ten years since this tape was put into the arena I think its time 'Victor' came clean on his identity and told the entire truth. What has he got to lose? Failing that, the mere chance that this footage is not fake is enough to make it highly compelling for some time to come. I recommend this film to anyone who can find a copy to make there own mind up
