Every now and again I sit down to watch a documentary, and I opted to do so here in 2022 when I stumbled upon the 2015 documentary "Ancient Alien Origins". Now, I hadn't ever heard about this documentary from writer and director Eklavya Sakpal, but of course I opted to give it a chance.

And talk about a biased documentary. It was just painful to sit through and listen to the "facts" that the documentary was spewing out, without ever dishing out an ounce of proof to substantiate all the preposterous claims presented in the documentary. And I use the word "documentary" mockingly here, because this was in no way looking objectively at anything.

And the narrator presenting the contents of "Ancient Alien Origins" was just poorly chosen, given the rather dull and monotonous tone of voice and speech patterns. It made the ordeal even less desirable to sit through, having to listen to the narrator drone on and on about biased things.

If you enjoy documentaries about aliens, or even believe in aliens for that matter, do yourself a big favor and stay well clear of this 2015 "documentary".

My rating of "Ancient Alien Origins" lands on a one out of ten stars.

Nicely done audio piece, though the visual aspects aren't helpful. The connections between religion (numerous ideologies and historical aspects),religious histories (Bible, Vedas, Book of the Dead, Sutras, etc) and modern soon-to-be mainstream discovery of numerous off-planet civilizations are well done, though slightly misaligned. However, for the lay person who is beginning to peek beneath the curtain, this is a terrific place to start.

VERY low budget Christian propaganda piece that clocks in at just under an hour, which is definitely long enough; unless you buy into what's being sold here, the first ten minutes will almost certainly be long enough.

I don't have a problem with religious propaganda, truly. To each his own - you don't have to tune in, folks, and you don't have to hate those who do. That said, I do resent a presentation of bizarre, made up garbage decorated as pseudo-science.

I rate this two stars because, for what it is, it's a below par, mediocre example that works hard to convince you that there cannot be aliens, unless you accept that 'aliens' = God.

For the rest of us, it's a timely reminder that modern society is leaving The Church by the thousands, and that this is a response to a difficult, ecumenical issue.
