The Journey: The Anthony Woods UFO Story, directed by Graham W. Birdsall (Ufo Video, 2004) The Journey: The Anthony Woods UFO Story provides viewers with questionable footage and a boring presentation. As a true believer in UFOs and alien visitation of planet Earth, I hate to say it -- but this is the most boring UFO documentary I have ever seen. Anthony Woods and his brother-in-law seem like two regular blokes, but -- with the exception of a couple of interesting images -- their videos consist of shaky camcorder images of very distant dots in the sky. There is not even close to enough detail to even think about identifying the objects they filmed. The two most interesting images weren't very impressive to me, either -- one looks to me like a piece of black trash floating in the wind, while the "morphing" object could well be balloons. The vast majority of the documentary, though, shows you clip after clip of blurry white dots in the sky while annoying, elevator-like soft guitar plays in the background. It's a total snore fest. And what of Anthony Woods? From 1999 to 2002, he filmed "UFOs" flying over his backyard virtually every day, while no one else in the area ever reported seeing anything. That's fishy. The story gets even fishier when you learn that Woods disassociated himself from the makers of this documentary and from the whole subject of UFOs in 2004. His attempt to retract the right to use of his images gives the impression that he was after money all along. Thus, we're left with very questionable footage that failed to impress me in the first place. Unless you're battling insomnia, this documentary is not worth watching. |
