Every now and again I sit down to watch a documentary, and I opted to do so here in 2022 when I stumbled upon the 2015 documentary "Ancient Alien Origins". Now, I hadn't ever heard about this documentary from writer and director Eklavya Sakpal, but of course I opted to give it a chance.
And talk about a biased documentary. It was just painful to sit through and listen to the "facts" that the documentary was spewing out, without ever dishing out an ounce of proof to substantiate all the preposterous claims presented in the documentary. And I use the word "documentary" mockingly here, because this was in no way looking objectively at anything.
And the narrator presenting the contents of "Ancient Alien Origins" was just poorly chosen, given the rather dull and monotonous tone of voice and speech patterns. It made the ordeal even less desirable to sit through, having to listen to the narrator drone on and on about biased things.
If you enjoy documentaries about aliens, or even believe in aliens for that matter, do yourself a big favor and stay well clear of this 2015 "documentary".
My rating of "Ancient Alien Origins" lands on a one out of ten stars.

Plot summary
Hidden from us by misunderstanding, mistranslation and clouded in mythology, the birth of religion on this planet was no mere accident. It was the result of a vast alien invasion that sparked the worship of the original ancient gods. Those gods are the oldest recorded figures of worship in any world history and extend much farther back in antiquity. They are the root of all the major world religions. They gave rise to the great powers of Egypt, Mesopotamia and more. They spread outwards around the world and were the genesis of a very real holy bloodline that remains with us today. They were also known as "the watchers," those who came to Earth as beings of light to teach and guide mankind. The aliens left Earth millennia ago but the signs are growing daily that the prophecy of their return is imminent. "Startling insight into our forbidden past." - OH Krill. "We're talking about a complete re-write on accepted history." - United Media Network. "History is a set of lies agreed upon." - Napoléon Bonaparte. "The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." - George Orwell.

Biased propaganda...
Aside from missing a few cues...
Nicely done audio piece, though the visual aspects aren't helpful. The connections between religion (numerous ideologies and historical aspects),religious histories (Bible, Vedas, Book of the Dead, Sutras, etc) and modern soon-to-be mainstream discovery of numerous off-planet civilizations are well done, though slightly misaligned. However, for the lay person who is beginning to peek beneath the curtain, this is a terrific place to start.
Blatant Religious Propaganda, and Badly Done, At That
VERY low budget Christian propaganda piece that clocks in at just under an hour, which is definitely long enough; unless you buy into what's being sold here, the first ten minutes will almost certainly be long enough.
I don't have a problem with religious propaganda, truly. To each his own - you don't have to tune in, folks, and you don't have to hate those who do. That said, I do resent a presentation of bizarre, made up garbage decorated as pseudo-science.
I rate this two stars because, for what it is, it's a below par, mediocre example that works hard to convince you that there cannot be aliens, unless you accept that 'aliens' = God.
For the rest of us, it's a timely reminder that modern society is leaving The Church by the thousands, and that this is a response to a difficult, ecumenical issue.
