For all the good the film does, it may not do enough to draw in a new audience. Things often grind to a halt and Moment to Contact is littered with odd choices. The subject is interesting, but the missteps along the way are hard to ignore.

Fox has once again delivered a thought-provoking work examining a taboo topic with staggering implications.

I think the film is being misclassified. It is an informative documentary that describes a real incident in Brazil that happened exactly as it was and there is no doubt about it! The problem is also that the people making the assessment are people who do not know the background or the course of events, with all the different witnesses who remained silent for a long time and who even today have to be dragged out of every single word!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I have extremely good human knowledge and can spot lies straight away. I'm 100% sure he paid all the people to lie. I really can't understand why 9 out of 10 people don't see this. The complete pathetic documentary is a fantasy story by Fox and he also gave Joe Rogan some money to boost his viewing figures for the documentary. Bob Lazar, on the other hand, I believe 100%

Absolutely a must see! Made an account here just to rate. This will open your eyes if they weren't and teach you that this guy is Mulder and the smoking man is real.

The documentary shed light on what was a very traumatic event for those witnesses in Brazil. James did a good job of pursuing the story and ensuring he was getting all the facts he could collect. Was engaged the whole time and I found the details to be fascinating. Surprised it's not on Netflix if it hasn't been before. Interesting accounts from witnesses provide a different perspective.
