Product: Communion (1989)
Rating: 3.0
Not all that convincing
Even though I read 30-odd pages of Communion before coming to the conclusion that it was just a little to far-fetched, I thought I'd see what the movie had to offer. Well, to be quite honest, it did nothing to convince me that my initial conclusion from the book is unjustified. Are we seriously supposed to believe that aliens who apparently have the ability to visit our planet from great distances have such impracticle body structures, and that they've come all this way simply to[...] probe Earthlings? I'm by no means a sceptic when it comes to this topic, and am willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt so long as their story isn't completely absurd--which is the case with Communion.The DVD contains a very short clip of the surgical removal of a supposed alien implant from some guy's arm. This may sound sensational, but it most certainly is not. Not surprsingly, we are not allowed a close-in look at this "alien implant" and, no less surprising, the clip ends with a statement to the effect that the nature of the "device" has yet to be determined. And I'm sure that it has since been "mysteriously" lost so we'll never know what it was. Isn't that just always the case?
