The movie is more domestic psychodrama than sci-fi. Unsatisfactory by any standard.

I found it enjoyable for Christopher Walken's acting, due to his trademark pauses, but aside from that none of it was particularly enthralling. That depicting of alien abductions seemed silly, rather than scary, and the closing speeches at the end just sounded goofy rather than any sort of revelation. Plus it's got a terribly dated 80's soundtrack. I can't recommend this unless you're a huge Walken fan.

Walken plays peekaboo with aliens and then has a mental breakdown. It's pretty entertaining stuff.

"Take a UFO abduction story allegedly based on reality, add a muddled screenplay and random pseudo-philosophical statements, inject a few strange, surreal encounters involving several types of funny looking aliens, some of which dance and high-five, or produce human clones that perform magic, and on top of all this, add Christopher Walken at his most weird and eccentric trying to pass off as a family man, and you have one very odd, cult flick."

A silly movie based on a silly book and carried only by Christopher Walken being awesome as always.

Not bad film made better by Mr Walken.

Dull and silly movie based on a "nonfiction" account that I don't believe the least little bit

maybe walken's best performance, easily the best abducted by aliens movie

This movie isn't actually worth a 60, but I'm giving it extra points because it took me YEARS to get over that scene where Walken sees the face look around the corner. Oh my god, did I hate corners after that.
