Roswell Trailers

Based on the book "UFO Crash at Roswell" by Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt, Roswell follows the attempts of Major Jesse Marcel to discover the truth about strange debris found on a local rancher's field in July of 1947. Told by his superiors that what he has found is nothing more than a downed weather balloon, Marcel maintains his military duty until the weight of the truth, however out of this world it may be, forces him to piece together what really occurred.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This was a decently made movie, and payed homage to the LEGEND.If as much money was spent investigating the actual events, we might actually learn something.The movie was along to lines of the disinformation that Martin Sheen's character threw at the main character.IF the son was the recipient of alien materials, as the movie suggests, where is he now, and where is that interview? IF the mother witnessed was she was supposed to have witnessed that night the main character brought the debris home, did she give an interview, where is that for the public? etc, etc, etc....UNTIL we are no longer influenced by the engineers of controlled thought, those who spin, who are bought, who are PROFESSIONALS at portraying information, then movies like this are as significant as (insert irrelevant BS here).Or, maybe we are really alone.

Kyle MacLachlan may be the star of this movie but Dwight Yoakam steals the show with his portrayal of Mac Brazel. If you're not familiar with the Roswell Incident (who isn't by now?) this movie will clue you in quickly and accurately without having to read your way through a stack of books on the subject. If you're already a believer, this movie will quickly become on of your favorites. It is a docu-drama. DOCU...DRAMA - of course some of the acting is melo-dramatic - it's a made-for-TV movie about the crash of an alien spaceship...hello.... That aside - the movie is true to its subject matter and the acting is not the horror show some have claimed. I went to film school (Columbia) and believe me, compared to what I've seen - this is A+++. They are also Hollyweird actors, not schlocks so how bad can it be? I won't restate the plot here but I wanted to refute the few 'this is horrible!' posts out there. It's not horrible and it's very informative. Unlike others, I also found it suspenseful. The suspense doesn't come directly from the action but from slowly uncovering what happened right along with Jesse himself.See it - you won't regret it.

i'm not sure about the other versions of incident at Roswell already reviewed here. I have a different version which has an exclusive. contains extra alien footage never seen before..be advised...viewers may find contents disturbing!. The whole documentary was quite interesting but what fascinated me was this extra footage at the end. Was it real or was it a very very very good hoax. I mean how do you fake an autopsy on an alien and at the same time make it look pretty genuine. The copy i have MER 1023. MER standing for Merlin Home Entertnainment. It is copyrighted 1995 Channel 4 Television Corporation. Production Company: Union Pictures/Big World for Channel Four Television Producer: John Purdie Director: Tim ShawcrossThe Roswell Incident is marketed by MASTERvision Limited. Running Time: 75 Min's (approx) E Exempt from classification.I can't understand the rating considering the warning on the front of the VHS box 'viewers may find disturbing'. also additional footage supposedly of debris taken from crashed spacecraft. I particularly liked the piece that looks like it says V I D E O on it. This is supposed to be where we got the word video from. I mean what does Video stand for. My guess is Vertically, Interlaced, Dynamic or Digital, Encoded, O ? O ? what on earth does O stand for. Does anyone know.

....I won't say much. This wasn't going to be a movie that was going to create havoc at the Oscars or break some mold at the box office but, let me just say, we had to watch this for school........it was used as an example of how NOT to make a film. Bad acting. (Martin Sheen, for shame! Hardly broke a sweat standing in the background for most of the duration) Bad direction. (Tried to be creative by having flashbacks in different styles, but may I ask, why the dramatic shots of paintings in the Political meeting? It was like Days Of Our Lives for Chrissake!) Bad BAD script. (classics from the main characters wife, like : "Dance time, dear" and "Your father's back, son".) And bad bad BAD make up! (throw some baby powder over Kyles face to make him look old, yeah, wow.) This film also has to win "most pathetic sick man portrayal" by Kyle Mac in the scene where he grabs one of the witnesses in his living room by the shoulders and coughs, jerking his head back and forth like a duck at a disco. (I tried the same move at a club last weekend, the bouncers almost booted me out). I wouldn't normally even think about watching something like this, but we had to. My God. Really bad. Half a Star. And thats coz it at least had an Alien in it that could'nt act either.
