Three people - two guys, one girl - go into a forest looking for gold. On their adventure, they film their quest. Yes, this is a found-footage film, which is filmed through camcorders. Ugh! Annoying. Anyway, as they get deeper into the forest, they happen upon an area where they find several odd floating objects in the clouds which can mean only one thing - someone severed the ropes that keep the airheaded politicians grounded. Just kidding. There are UFOs. However, they seem to be UFOs of the bad kind, because they knock what looks like an apache helicopter out of the sky.
I gave this a 4-star rating. Some of the things going against this were the grainy video. I'm not a fan of camcorders or cell phone cameras taking the place of real studio cameras. Also, I HATE when at the very beginning of the movie, they say something like "this footage was found, but nobody in the video was ever heard from again." That's code for, they're all dead, so don't get attached to any of them.
The things going in favor of the movie were the actors. They did a very good job. I think we'll see Abbie Salt again for sure. They all expressed what looked like real fear. I can't say the setting's original. As I said earlier, it takes place in the forest. I'm not against movies taking place in the forest, because the forest is like the ocean - a world unto itself. Still, it's a bit of a cliché setting for these types of movies.
There is nudity in the movie, but virtually none. Towards the end, there's a scene of a nude woman lying on a table with some...things growing out of her body. You see one of her breasts, but due to the graininess of the video, it's hard to see much. I can't say I'd recommend the movie, because I'm not the biggest fan of found-footage films, especially when they - once again - basically say they all die at the beginning of the movie. Ugh! I saw this once. I wouldn't watch it again. There were many parts of this were I was simply bored because of the continuous walking through the forest and the base with not much dialogue.
