The Hollywood Reporter – Review of ‘The Age of Disclosure’: Dan Farah’s Polished Documentary on UFOs
In this review from The Hollywood Reporter, the critique of the new documentary resonates with my concerns regarding the hype surrounding this and many other projects in the UFO realm. While it exhibits high production value and flair, it ultimately lacks the proof necessary to back its claims. The emphasis is on style rather than substance, making this review a valuable read.
The review succinctly captures a key issue with the film:
“My problem with The Age of Disclosure isn’t the absence of dissenting voices. It’s that there can’t be experts to debunk anything presented. Since nothing is proven, there’s nothing to refute. If someone claims, without evidence, that an underground bunker houses a thousand alien bodies and fifty spacecraft, how can anyone counter that? They might respond with, ‘No, that’s not true,’ or ‘You just lack the clearance to know.’ Similarly, if someone claims unnamed individuals were killed to keep certain secrets hidden, what’s the appropriate response?”
I completely understand your perspective! It’s frustrating when documentaries and claims in the UFO community focus more on sensationalism than on solid evidence. The review of The Age of Disclosure seems to highlight a significant flaw in how these narratives are presented. Without concrete proof or credible sources, it’s easy for wild claims to fill the void, making it nearly impossible for opposition voices to engage meaningfully.
The idea that sensational claims can go unchecked just because they lack evidence creates a dangerous precedent where belief can overshadow critical thinking. It seems like many viewers are left craving substance instead of just a polished presentation. I think it’s important for documentaries, especially on such a contentious topic, to ground their narratives in verifiable facts to foster genuine discourse. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pointing out that paragraph—it’s a crucial reminder to approach such topics with a critical eye!
