Good acting but very very dull
Mori68 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Annoyingly good acting and locations could have made this movie excellent and much more gripping. Unfortunately it's extremely drawn out with excessive dialogue and pretty much nothing at all else. Like a very boring history lecture with nothing but talking for over 2 hours in various time frames.

There is the finest bit of external terrestrial footage at the end and its merely a human looking form speaking about our planet. A shame because the history of this subject has been a source of conspiracy and fascination for decades so a cool idea. If you don't mind nothing but speaking you'll likely enjoy it. But if you need more action give this a miss you'll be very bored!

Dreadful

When hate and fear and disinformation are the order of the day, you get this. An acid trip gone bad.

Slow boring and aggravating
stevewarner-tmi27 December 2023
I'm not sure who gave this film more than 3 stars but I have a nagging suspicion it's the cast & crew. This is a slow, boring and aggravating film that says from the outset that it's based on fact but builds it's entire narrative on wild speculation about President Obama having conversations with dead people and aliens.

The film's narrative revolves around the death of a high ranking military general who has inside information about the government's involvement with UFOs and his grown son who runs a left-leaning "truth" blog who gains access to this information after his father's passing.

Along the way, we learn that the son is good friends with President Obama who is painted here with the type of reverence typically reserved for saints. The film gushes over Obama, making sure we know that he's a Valliant warrior against the deep state and that he's trying desperately to crack open the vault of secret info so the common man can learn the truth about alien visitors.

How does Obama have access to this info? Well, you see he listens to new age music which puts him in a trance where he speaks with dead president's and dead aliens who tell him what he needs to know.

There's a painful scene where we learn that the aliens have evolved into the Oneness consciousness and that it's imperative that we move humanity away from our destructive tendencies so that we'll be worthy of the aliens be stowing their advanced techno is. Barf.

Theres no mystery here. No real drama. Not even any really truth or attempt to share truth. Just a slow, plodding story with wooden acting, weak cinematography and really bad CGI. Seriously. The CGI from Unsolved Mysteries in the 90s was better.

Its really hard to find redeeming quality to this film. I suppose if you worship Obama and have fantasies that he is the savior of the world, then you might like this? I don't know. Maybe if you think people bad aliens good you might like this? Hard to say.

In summary, if you like UFO lore and are looking for an interesting film, this is not it. If you have an unhealthy obsession with Obama, don't watch this film. Seek help and then go watch something better than this garbage.

Watch It More Than Once
ostrichfarm9 September 2020
This is a dense, cerebral motion picture. It is not a crowd-pleaser, not the latest Netflix original. It will, however, reward your attentive and undistracted viewing. Devastating but hopeful, well-crafted with strong performances, this film tackles an important subject that merits serious attention.

Thoroughly Entertaining!
acn-349675 August 2020
I just sat and watched this extraordinary and thoroughly entertaining movie. What an amazing job. The actors were wonderful. Ike came alive for me through his frisky relationship with Mamie and his warm friendship with his valet Moaney.

All of the old patriotic guys and the black and white footage were such a joy to watch. The production itself was beautifully done. Everything looked so good.

But most of all the underlining understanding and intelligence for humanity comes through in the writing. It is such a huge movie that looks at the dark forces and power. There was a lot of intrigue, complexity and research.

The Obama character was fabulous and Forrestal, when I saw the dedication at the end I sobbed. I think about my father who parachuted onto the bridge too far and that generation of men, some of whom were destroyed and some who had to decide what to do with the power they won. It is an epic tale of humanity and what we choose next.

A psychedelic fever dream for the US history buff
ok_ok_ok_ok4 August 2020
The 11th Green begins understated: A passive reaction to a fantastical sighting; a monotone news report about preposterous technology. But audience beware: like a frog in a pot of slowly heated water, you won't know what hit you until you are boiling alive in the multi-faceted, technicolor time warp of auteur Christopher Munch's making. It's beautifully shot - some great desert frames and lasting images stick out as calming amongst the intellectual chaos. The briefly seen low budget CGI doesn't take away from the story - there's no time to unsuspend your disbelief when you're wrapping your head around outlandish hypotheticals intertwined with true to life historical figures, places, and events. The performances are acutely fun for the historically attuned. A psychedelic fever dream for the US history buff - or an active rejection of recent human history as we know it - you decide. This movie is the definition of what Sundance used to be for.

Fascinating unexplored history
russell-762 September 2020
The 11th Green is an unexpected and surprising look at untold history. I loved the choice to interweave different time periods which is executed gracefully and provocatively throughout the film. The story will challenge you to question many of your beliefs about aliens and the history of energy production. Truly eye-opening. Definitely a must see.

This movie is incredibly interesting and overflowing with talented actors and attributes! I've watched it 2 times so far. I'm looking forward to viewing it again and I truly hope it will be available to purchase on dvd.

Just discovered this movie - hidden gem?
roryrory-327812 April 2024
From what I can see, this film had a very limited release when it came out during the pandemic in 2020. I heard about it from a Project Unity podcast. I recommend it to anyone interested in the enigma of UFOs, even if you don't agree with all the details. And I didn't (for example, the possibility that elements of the government or military may be holding back breakthrough tech gleaned from UFOs). But, interestingly, other aspects of the movie wound up being supported by David Grusch's Congressional testimony in 2023, the Loose Threads document from 2022, etc. What the film lacks in big budget stuff, it makes up for in a wild, provocative story and good acting.
