Sirius (2013)

Overrated

I wanted to but couldn't!

Great Film overall

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Sirius is a Documentary about Steve Greer trying to get the government to disclose there files on alien life and he has some type of small alien mummy....I think. I saw this movie on Netflix and I'm truly glad I didn't waste money on this film. It supposed to raise compelling questions for the U.S. government to address but what ends up happening is Steve Greer walks around for the entire running time. There are some interesting things in this film that are interesting however its all presented in an uninteresting way that make you want to take a nap and wake up in time to see the credits. If you like uninspired lame documentaries then this movies for you!!

I just caught this online and was very impressed with it. This film doesn't focus on blurry UFO footage or regurgitated testimonials from the 2001 disclosure project, it is in fact far bigger than that.Rather than focus on telling people that UFO's are real, they pin point the aspects on why the topic gets buried, and why disclosure must be taken into the hands of the people. How they do this, and the facts and figures shown are top notch for such a buried, ridiculed and (for some) downright terrifying subject.Blend the documentaries "IOUSA" and "Inside job" with Real UFO stuff and you'll be close in your expectations. However keep in mind their budget was minimal but on par with most documentaries of this kind.. (Greer gave up his $500,000/year emergency room surgeon job to do this stuff for peanuts, and has stated in interviews that they couldn't fit everything in that they wanted due to cost restrictions)If you don't know who Dr. Steven Greer is I suggest you do some research before watching the film. Greer is no joke and by far one of the most credible and hard working people in the extraterrestrial realm and this film does his name the justice that I was expecting. 9/10

"This is down the rabbit hole, fast. But that is the situation, my friends, when you're dealing with secrecy that is criminal and illegal".Steven Greer in 'Sirius' It goes without saying that the entire spectrum of subjects dealt with in this documentary are extremely controversial. Subjects ranging from the reality of an advanced intelligence visiting Earth throughout history - having escalated their presence since the first detonations of atomic bombs and the subsequent proliferation of nuclear weapons worldwide since the 1940s - to the reality of covert military operations and top secret technologies that are created using an advanced physics that is currently not taught (or even known about or acknowledged) in the mainstream scientific/academic establishment.This story, or compilation of stories, is as explosive as it gets. It is almost literally earth-shaking. Is it any wonder why many people, who have been taught in the mainstream scientific establishment, would be completely offended upon being suddenly confronted with this? The truth will set you free, but first it will p*** you off! Many sceptical people who are unfamiliar with this subject material will find it overwhelmingly challenging to their world-view. But their limited world-view is exactly what needs to change and is precisely what is wrong with the world as we have witnessed it in the past few decades. Western materialistic science does not have all of the answers - yet! But let's listen with an open mind to the many brave government and military witnesses and whistle-blowers assembled in 'Sirius' to broaden our scientific and technological horizons. We absolutely do have the solutions to the majority of our world's problems at our disposal, but it is an issue of geopolitical leadership and public awareness to deal with these very serious and profoundly urgent issues. It is entirely okay to be sceptical, but if it gets to the point of being irrational, then that scepticism only serves to cast further chaos and confusion on a topic that is already riddled with enigmas and disinformation.Many groundbreaking scientific discoveries have occurred over the past century, and this new documentary 'Sirius' does a brilliant job at showcasing the scientists, their ideas and their technologies, and just how and why these discoveries have been suppressed by very powerful interest groups. From Nikola Tesla to T. Townsend Brown to Thomas Henry Moray to Stanley Meyer. It is well-documented that Tesla's funders cut him off after he proposed his radical idea of generating wireless electricity towers in the EARLY 1900s! His scientific discoveries have benefited all of mankind, he was not crazy and he had solid plans on how this "free energy" could work over a hundred years ago. The man died penniless and many of his private notes were taken shortly after his death. Similar stories, but much more dramatic, have continued on since that time, and include deliberate confiscation of these types of threatening technologies, including an automatic blacklisting at the patent office if any technology is classified as "over-unity" and in violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. It has gone so far as to include several cases of mysterious deaths (obvious murders) of new energy scientists. If you don't think that the Military Industrial Complex and its ties to enormously wealthy corporations, including all of the major players in banking and Big Oil, have the power to squash anyone that might try to upset their nuclear applecart on steroids, then you are sadly misinformed and naive. But that is not to say that We the People cannot gather together and fight back - we can and we are!! The entire Occupy Movement of recent times has brought to the world's attention the problem of "the 1%" owning and controlling all of the wealth and power in the world. As highlighted in this revolutionary documentary - and by numerous other reputable sources - Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase & CitiBank are the richest companies and groups of people who own and run the Federal Reserve, and who are also in control of the biggest oil corporations in the world: Exxon, Chevron, Shell & BP. Now if an alternative source of energy production could be generated out of a new physics, something beyond the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that could provide the world with a clean and cheap renewable source of energy to power our homes and cars and businesses, what do you think that would do to the geopolitical domination that the aforementioned banks and corporations have on the entire planet? And how far do you think "they" can and will and have gone to make sure they keep their power and control? Operating in secrecy is unfortunately the most dangerous way to go about this task, and it is absolutely no joke when it is stated at the beginning of 'Sirius' that Dr. Steven Greer has a "Dead Man's Trigger" strategy in place, similar to Julian Assange and that of WikiLeaks. A cache of explosive and damaging information accumulated over the course of networking with military insiders that includes names and addresses and project names of the very people and companies involved with the clandestine and illegal operations we are talking about. Much of this information has already been released to the Congress and the general public in the form of transcribed and videotaped witness testimony that is available online. The documentary itself is based on Steven Greer's memoir 'Hidden Truth - Forbidden Knowledge'. If people could fully comprehend what this man has achieved, he would win something far more profound than the Nobel Peace Prize! On behalf of all of humanity, I thank Dr. Steven Greer, The Disclosure Project and Amardeep Kaleka for their immense efforts. 'Sirius' is a very serious and important achievement and I highly recommend watching it (with an open mind).

What was advertised as a scientific, peer-reviewed documentary promising to bring to light real UFO evidence and the DNA report of an allegedly alien body, is in practice 10% hard science and facts, and 90% new-age pseudo-science worthy of a street vendor selling healing crystals. What little factual evidence there is in this documentary mainly revolves around the suppression of alternative energy research throughout history, interviews with high ranking military and government personnel, and legitimate criticism of the US military industrial complex, which is properly documented and can be taken seriously. It would be very interesting were it not invalidated by Greer's bizarre spiritual ideas.How Steven Greer has the title of medical doctor I have no idea, maybe he bought it online, but to listen to a medical doctor who promises science and studies rationalizing that his dead wife's spirit lives on in a cosmic, universal consciousness and that he can summon UFOs by communicating through telepathy is both embarrassing and kind of sad in a pathetic way. Not only was the advertising of this movie misleading, but his 'alien body' is actually fraudulent. Greer claims his alien specimen has DNA of an 'unknown classification' and claims that Garry Nolan's analysis supports his theory, while in fact Nolan concluded, as stated in Greer's actual paper, that the specimen was unquestionably human and was the result of a combination of birth defects, all of which Greer fails to mention in his movie. There is hard science in this documentary, footage and evidence that could be taken seriously in a more serious context, but it's entirely unrelated to the overall spiritual, metaphysical theme and is drowned in an almost religious idiocy and metaphysical posturing. Rather than present any of this information in a lucid manner, Greer would rather talk at length about how remote viewing and meditation helps him feel at one with the universe, and how 'positive emotional energy' will encourage aliens to land and make contact, while the poor scientists he has roped into appearing in this travesty look on awkwardly, probably conscious by the point of filming that their careers will be negatively impacted by this.This movie is a glaring example of all the worst aspects of the disclosure/UFO movement rolled into one mess, and I think Steven Greer needs counseling or at least some kind of mental health assessment.
