EXTRAORDINARY: The Stan Romanek Story (2014)
currently airing on Netflix.
Stumbled upon this and was immediately sucked in, it appeals that primal "I Want To Believe" part of me.
Stan Romanek, possibility the most documented UFO/Alien experiencer in the world. At the time of this film, he had documented over 195 encounters.
Whether the story presented is real or fake, it was very compelling.
It certainly is not a balanced or investigative documentary. This is made clear from the opening title cards. This is a film with an agenda. This a movie by believers for believers. All the "witnesses" are from Romanek's inner circle or active members of the UFO community.
And yet, I still found it thoroughly watchable. The amount of "evidence" presented is bold, ballsy and amazing... but is any of it real?
The film has it all...
--UFO sightings
--Visitations
--Abductions
--Mysterious Implants
--Hybrids
--Intruders
--Messages from Beyond
--Hypnosis/repressed memories
--Mysterious Deep Throat warnings
--Physical harassment and assault by mysterious Black Ops type individuals
--Conspiracy Cover Ups
Some of it seems plausible and hard to dismiss. Other things seem obviously staged. Though the video and pics of actual aliens and hybrids look pretty fake. But then what should an alien look like (in this case, classic Greys right out every sci-fi movie since Close Encounters) and how should it move/behave?
So is he a conman? Delusional? I dunno... and the twist ending doesn't help his credibility. Or does it? Let the conspiracy theories fly.
Either way, if you treat it like The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity, it is very entertaining.
And it might just make you wonder.... what if???
