About
You may enjoy this if you like found-footage UFO mysteries and can wait for the tension to ramp up; Not for you if you hate shaky handheld style, slow pacing, or want constant scares like Phoenix Forgotten.
Pros: intriguing Area 51 premise; tense late payoff; some fun effects | Cons: very slow build; lots of filler chatter; shaky, hard to follow
