I have one question: Why was this film categorized as a documentary on Prime? I was initially suspicious when it was announced that the footage had never been revealed to the public before. Given its placement in the documentary section, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and watch it. As the movie progressed, however, my suspicions only grew. I wanted to believe it was a genuine documentary, but then the appearance of the creature behind the tree made it clear-it took me a while, but I realized I had been ignoring all the clues. It turns out, it's a sci-fi horror film, yet Prime had it listed under documentaries. I gave it two stars because it started off quite convincingly, and the meteors were impressive.
