At last something true about aliens that surround the mankind since the primitive era of cave men, presented as TV mini-series based on Budd Hopkins's novel where he gathered on several sources and solid evidences to write this book, Michael Apted is one of executive producers lending credence to the project.
The storyline focuses in the four characters only, the skeptic psychiatrist Dr. Neil Chase (Richard Crenna), the housewife Mary Wilkes (Mare Winningham) from Nebraska who has been abducted since the tender age, Lesley Hahn (Daphine Ashbrook) from California has a sudden pregnancy managed by the aliens at spaceship, and finally Mary Wilkes's sister Leigh Holland (Susan Blakely) who was linked with Dr. Neil aimed to make a bridge with his half-hearted sister to applying the retrocognition process.
Also appears a whimsical Ufologist Addison Leach (Steve Berkoff) to introduce Dr. Neil in this new ground, aside the movie touch in hard subject that cause distrust in all scientific community, stays clear that US's government tries by all means cover-up such events, whereof it is common knowledge of the military.
Dealing a TV series this a overlong presentation, thus the screenplay was done to insert all major key scenes to got to whole picture, starting that point the picture slows down, some sequences were fully disposable, due I'd watched the shortest version on TV in 1996, actually the casting didn't help too much, Richard Creena seems so symphathetic somewhat bellitles the character, in other hand the aliens sequences is quite amazing and improving the presentation.
Thanks for reading.
