Roswell (1994)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Please don't spend money on this.

i must have seen a different film!!

How sad is this?

On the surface Roswell may looked like a science fiction TV movie but it is actually based on actual events from eyewitness accounts of what went on in Roswell in 1947. This TV movie intercuts between the present day of the late 1970s and the immediate aftermath of that certain event in 1947.Kyle MacLachlan played the real-life Jesse Marcel, a retired major who was there in Roswell in 1947 who is trying to piece together of what went on in Roswell back then and he plays very well with extreme sincerity. The flashbacks of the eyewitness accounts were very fascinating and made for thrilling viewing especially the account of what happened to Defence Secretary James V Forrestral. This account of what really account in Roswell was very fascinating and a gripping movie to watch.

This was a decently made movie, and payed homage to the LEGEND.If as much money was spent investigating the actual events, we might actually learn something.The movie was along to lines of the disinformation that Martin Sheen's character threw at the main character.IF the son was the recipient of alien materials, as the movie suggests, where is he now, and where is that interview? IF the mother witnessed was she was supposed to have witnessed that night the main character brought the debris home, did she give an interview, where is that for the public? etc, etc, etc....UNTIL we are no longer influenced by the engineers of controlled thought, those who spin, who are bought, who are PROFESSIONALS at portraying information, then movies like this are as significant as (insert irrelevant BS here).Or, maybe we are really alone.

i'm not sure about the other versions of incident at Roswell already reviewed here. I have a different version which has an exclusive. contains extra alien footage never seen before..be advised...viewers may find contents disturbing!. The whole documentary was quite interesting but what fascinated me was this extra footage at the end. Was it real or was it a very very very good hoax. I mean how do you fake an autopsy on an alien and at the same time make it look pretty genuine. The copy i have MER 1023. MER standing for Merlin Home Entertnainment. It is copyrighted 1995 Channel 4 Television Corporation. Production Company: Union Pictures/Big World for Channel Four Television Producer: John Purdie Director: Tim ShawcrossThe Roswell Incident is marketed by MASTERvision Limited. Running Time: 75 Min's (approx) E Exempt from classification.I can't understand the rating considering the warning on the front of the VHS box 'viewers may find disturbing'. also additional footage supposedly of debris taken from crashed spacecraft. I particularly liked the piece that looks like it says V I D E O on it. This is supposed to be where we got the word video from. I mean what does Video stand for. My guess is Vertically, Interlaced, Dynamic or Digital, Encoded, O ? O ? what on earth does O stand for. Does anyone know.

Having been privy to many of the related details in this fine made-for-tv movie, i feel that 'Roswell' is probably the most well-researched film dealing with the subject of close encounters and linked government conspiracies that one can find, and i recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone interested in this subject. Further, allow me to direct interested viewers to the similar, if largely dramatized, 1980 film 'Hangar 18'.
