LATE DATE UP-DATE DOCUMENTARY...REHASHES & REINFORCES BOB LAZAR'S TRUE-LIFE STORY

When Scientist Bob Lazar made the Whistle-Blowing UFO/Flying Saucer/Area 51 Scene in the Early 90's with an Initial Incognito Interview with Las Vegas TV Newsman George Knapp, it caused Ripples in Ufology that are Still being Felt Today.

Eventually coming out from Obscurity and Identifying Himself, the Skeptics and Debunkers Descended on Lazar's Credibility and Gravitas that He is still Deflecting to this Day. Witness this New Documentary.

Some things in Bob Lazar's Past are Ambiguous with Personal and Employment Records Vanishing and other Inconvenient Inconsistencies. There still Remains a First Hand Eye-Witness, Hands-On Account of Things that are Not Easily Dismissed.

Lazar comes across as Sincere and Knowledgeable, with very Little to Gain from the Notoriety and Publicity then or even after all these Years.

There are some in the Aviation Community that Back-Up His Story, Like John Lear, son of the Inventor of the "Lear Jet" and Holder of Numerous Flight Records. Journalist Knapp that Broke the Story and Stands by His Man to this Day.

Bob Lazar's Story has been Told and Retold, Probed and Prodded, Torn Apart and Meticulously Scrutinized for Decades on Late Night Talk Radio, like Art Bell, and His many Imitators, and in Books and Articles.

The "Truth" is still Out There Somewhere and most likely has been with Us all along. Whether You Believe Lazar's Story (working with Hands-On Alien Saucers at Area 51) or Dismiss it as Bunk, will most Likely Depend on a Personal Bias.

He has Never Backed Down or Retracted Any of it in over 30 Years. This is an Update for Newbies and a Refresher for Ufologists and Stalwarts.

No point to this movie

Nothing about this weird sci fi flick made much sense. It documented the claims of Bob Lazar and how he worked for some time in a facility that tested and tried to replicate alien flying saucers. But the show is just a mix of old tv footage from when the story first broke in 1989 and now as bob talks about it. The documentary doesn't try to prove anything, or add any new information. Just bob reiterating his statements from 1989 and claiming that he has told the truth. The footage is mostly talking about the events and whether or not the director and reporter believe bobs claims . Then to make things weird they intermittently disperse flashes of aliens and cartoons with a voice over talking philosophically.

The whole point of this is just lost on me, I don't get what the director wants us to walk away with? Frankly, I don't believe bobs story, he doesn't offer up any specifics and speaks in generalities... his drawing of the ufo?! Cmon!

reality and doubt

Greetings again from the darkness. "This story is extraordinary - especially if it's true." This is just one of many incredulous statements from the film's narrator, Mickey Rourke. And let's face it, when trying to establish credibility for a story that's been in doubt for 30 years, who better to lean on than Mickey Rourke? In defense of filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, there is no proving or disproving the story of Bob Lazar. It's more like a Ripley's Believe it or Not entry than a forensic study with conclusive results. One either chooses to believe Mr. Lazar, or not ... and there is no way to prove which side is "right".

In 1989, Bob Lazar was interviewed anonymously (in shadows with altered voice),claiming that he worked at S-4, a facility adjacent to Area 51, and that his job was to reverse engineer the propulsion system on alien spacecraft - one of 9 being studied. His anonymity didn't last long, and the one fact in the film that is beyond debate is that his decision to go public with this story altered his life forever. When Mr. Corbell catches up with Mr. Lazar, we find that he doesn't come across as a crackpot, and we certainly believe that he believes his story. It's impressive that he's gone to great lengths over the years to prove his honesty - hypnosis and polygraphs included.

With input from investigative reporter George Knapp, we learn of FBI raids and numerous attempts at character assassination. There seem to be no records confirming Lazar's employment or education (Cal Tech, MIT) claims, though we do have photos of one of the raids. And we learn from his mother than he was always conducting experiments, even as a kid. Another gem from narrator Rourke, "Can we be made whole if we aren't believed?" might have made for a better focus as a (shorter) documentary. Since his story can't be proven, perhaps a more personal study of the man could be insightful.

We bounce between Nevada, California and Michigan, and director Corbell seems to buy into "The X-Files" claim that 'the truth is out there'. His choices of the electronic warbles as a score and the ridiculous script for Mr. Rourke to narrate notwithstanding, we do find Corbell and Lazar to be forthright in the presentation, even if their story is never able to "weaponize our curiosity" as initially promised. Proclaiming "reality isn't what it used to be" doesn't make it so. One must prove something so, for the doubt to be removed.
