im not sure what i expected this to be so i didnt really have high expectations beforehand: a found footage-like film about three stupid young adults raiding area 51? what could possibly go wrong.....
it is funny enough that the poorly designed cgi aliens literally look like the prior interviewed and stereotypical description "grey, tall, black eyes". why would you STILL choose to implement this unoriginal design when it got made fun of like half an hour into the film lol
to think that once they were in the facility they whispered so LOUDLY and stumbled and fell and RAN through the hallways didnt catch the attention of even one security guard??? which gets me to my next point because for some reason there werent even any guards except for when it was already too late wow
the ending MASSIVELY sucked but it is because of the found footage style ig...
what i enjoyed was the "horror" towards the last third when FINALLY something interesting started to happen (keyword: started...). the descend towards the cave combined with the horrible camera quality reminded me of some sections in the silent hill games (e.g. toluca prison/labyrinth/underpass)
sadly there was way too little actual horror compared to the amount of scifi for me to enjoy

Le concept est cool, mais le film est beaucoup trop long.
Par contre ils ont joué sur un truc de pas trop en montrer à la caméra et je trouve que ça marche bien justement
