A buddy film - a disappointing DVD........2004-07-10

I was seeking an objective documentary about crop circles. This is not it. This is a buddy-film.
Peter Robbins, noted UFO researcher and author interviews Colin Andrews, noted crop circle researcher and author about conspiracies and cover-ups and personal mistakes made. Chatty interview, not very informative. The only real value in the DVD is the photo gallery located in the "extras" section.

Paging Colin Andrews.......2004-04-12

Filmed just prior to the release of the movie "Signs", this documentary is essentially an interview with Colin Andrews interspersed with aerial photos and videos of crop circle formations. The film gives Andrews an opportunity to exonerate himself from the bad press he garnered when he was "set up" as a hoax by the mass media, to review his 20 year career as a circle investigator, and to ruminate about the significance of these phenomena. Included is the rarely seen footage of a crop circle being made in 10 or so seconds while balls of light swirl overhead.

The only serious drawback is the presentation of the circles themselves. The viewer is presented with galleries of circle formations that flash by too quickly to actually see much of anything. You have to slow the DVD speed to a virtual standstill (or better yet, pause) in order to linger over individual images.

Despite the fact that this film is as much about Andrews as it is about the phenomenon, anyone remotely interested in crop circles should view this documentary.

Amazing Photos & Footage......But Kind Of Boring.......2003-07-17

I purchased this DVD thinking it would be like the documentaries I see on Discovery, A&E, TLC, etc... But it's not quite a documentary, it's an interview along with some amazing photos of crop circles and footage of white orbs forming a crop circle. It lacks the flow of a documentary and information, and it has no plot. It got kind of boring besides the photos and footage. The music on the main menu was creepy which made us believe it would be a very entertaining DVD. But it wasn't that entertaining. Overall, it was an OK DVD, but I have seen better crop circle documentaries on TV.

A buddy video - disappointing.......2004-07-07

I have been seeking an objective documentary about the history of crop circles. This is a buddy video. Peter Robbins is a UFO author/researcher interviewing Colin Andrews on his experiences with crop circles. Lots of talk of cover-ups, conspiracies, mistakes made and the CIA. Not much worthwhile information in the DVD. Disappointing.
In the "extras" section there are some interesting photos.
This DVD is worth about $5.00

Signs from Space, what Signs?, not much info, or hype, here.......2003-03-14

The subtitle here is kind of a turn off because while some want UFO's everywhere, the program itself never really says anything to warrant such a title and in fact doesn't really profess to have any idea who or what in fact creates most of the genuine circles.
Colin Andrews tells us that most (80% of British crop circles within a two year period)are made by human hands but that a significant number are in fact genuine. I was disappointed with the way the real (and small amount of)information was presented in that while we are told some very important details in how to determine the origin of a circle, almost none of this information is actually shown. I wanted some close ups of the various bent down crops and descriptions of what did it, you'll also need to listen closely as the DVD has no subtitling.
The interview is kind of amatuerish, patched together, you'll likely be tempted to skip it although if you do sit through it you'll hear some little bits.
The gallery bits had most of the useful information in the program although they were lacking the closeups I wanted. There's one example of a fascinating formation done in a field near Stonehenge apparently within a 45 minute or less time period, no one saw a thing even though it was in broad daylight next to a highway.
In his interview Andrews says that the CIA tried to get him to pronounce the crop circle phenomenon a hoax, and it seems to me that he indicated that the press and the British Govt. also have had a hand in debunking attempts. In one of the gallery selections is of a fascinating video done of a crop circle formation actually being formed, I believe Mr. Andrews said that his group traced the photographer's origin down and had reason to believe that it wasn't real (or was it that the British Government had the ability to do these things?, I'm not sure which).
I've seen better crop circle programs.

To be fair, I only bought this DVD because it was cheap. I thought it was going to be one of those Discover fluff shows. Man, I was wrong. These guys get down to the nitty gritty. The two researchers in this DVD really know their stuff. The presented the facts and did so in a very "matter of fact" way. I really enjoyed it. Kudos to them for giving us evidence without talking down to us or making light of the subject. I highly reccomend this DVD. It will open your mind and make you question your beliefs. A winner!

Crop Circles!.......2003-01-09

Very well done DVD. No fluff here, just two professinals that have a wealth of knowledge on the topic examining the facts. I appreciated the depth of their topic knowledge. Not just another news footage edited together. The DVD included pictures and live video footage that I have never seen before. I highly reccomend it!

Fascinating Designs, Repetitive "Alien" Connections..............2002-09-10

I also saw SIGNS and even though I felt it lacked an actual plot, I loved the idea that these crop circles are popping up all over the world- and some are the most beautiful, intricate designs that make you question if there are really that many hoaxers out there with art degrees wasting their education on wheat & barley, or if unknown extra-terrestrial forces are responsible for these patterns. I enjoyed this video, but got tired of the repetitive "alien" connection theory. There has never been a logical explanation or proof of the connection between UFO's and crop cirlces, so to categorize this subject as an outerspace connection seems like such a cop-out. The History Channel did a 2-part special recently on crop circles, with interviews of the actors in the movie SIGNS, and they themselves poked fun at this phenomenon by having hoaxers create a large H in a field nearby as they did their "documentary"- deliberately showing how, within a few hours a design can be created with a board and a rope. I would like to think that Mother Nature is the one with the sense of humour and is responsible for these designs- and she is smiling down at us because instead of just enjoying these visual gifts and accepting them as such, we have to probe & question, and place blame.... Geesh! Ain't we humans a pain in the ... sometimes? : )
