Verdict on Watch the Skies
Recap
The movie follows a determined teenager who wants answers about her father’s death. She joins forces with a UFO research team that could provide connections to what happened. However, the government are looking to keep things quiet and will do anything to make sure it happens.
Best Parts
The movie does a great job of showing the divide between people who know the truth and want to keep secrets and people stuck living with the unknown. However, deep down, it is more about discovering what could be out there and what could be visiting. It is interesting seeing the earlier, calmer study into the unexplainable events.
Worst Parts
Some of the side characters are questionable and don’t fit the positions they are in. They don’t believe their causes, making them dangerous for no reason to everyone else around them.
Final Thoughts –Watch the Skies is a great dive into the possibilities.
