DVD Reviews of Fire in the Sky
DVD Review: great
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with my purchase> Also happy with the quick shipment. Thank youDVD Review: Entertaining movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though this is supposed to be a fictionalized account of an actual event and adds Hollywood special effects where very little may actually exist in the real life drama, it is nonetheless an exceptionally entertaining and well done movie. The acting is top notch, the storytelling is captivating, the special effects are very effective. I saw this movie years ago, remembered it as being a movie worthy of owning, and wasn't disappointed when I picked it up and my wife & I watched it. A very entertaining movie... -kd5-DVD Review: Worth the time for search
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an older movie that my daughter had searched for in video houses and stores locally. I suggested Amazon.com as I have purchased and received unique gifts for family (we have 9 grandchildren). Sure enough you had it online and the cost was very reasonable.
The movie was very entertaining. I'll admit I'm a ET for many shows and movies.
DVD Review: live there in the summer
Summary: 3 Stars

Summary: 4 Stars
Remember this movie? Pretty damn cool, isn't it? Whether or not you believe the story being told, it still made for an entertaining movie. And admittedly, having the "Based On A True Story" line attached does tend to add a bit more creepiness to an often told Hollywood tale.
I remember this being marketed more as a science fiction film, but other than the premise and the sequence near the end of the film that shows Walton's experience aboard the ship, this is really more of a mystery/drama.
The film tells the tale of Travis Walton and his logger buddies who witness a UFO in the mountains one night in 1975 while driving back to town. Travis leaves the truck, is shot by a light from the ship and disappears. His buddies return to town to tell the story, but soon find themselves suspects in Walton's disappearance. But no matter how hard they try to convince friends, family and law officials of what they saw, they find the town turning against them and the whole thing turning into a media circus that nearly ruins their lives. When Travis is found alive five days later, it opens a whole new can of worms. Now no one is suspected of murder, but are now accused of trying to pull a huge hoax(ya just can't win when you get abducted, can ya?).
It's a fascinating movie that could have come off as corny, but ends up being rather effective. Good performances all around by a cast of mostly character and lesser known actors including Peter Berg(writer/director of Very Bad Things and star of Wes Craven's Shocker), Craig Sheffer(Nightbreed), Henry Thomas(E.T of course!!), D.B. Sweeney(The Cutting Edge and Spawn) and Robert Patrick(everyone's favorite liquid metal robot assassin). Sweeney may be the figure which the film revolves around, but a good chunk of the film belongs to Robert Patrick, who does a damn good job in a dramatic role. Sweeney does a fantastic job of showing sheer terror in the spacecraft scenes, as well as his post-traumatic state. I've always felt that both Sweeney and Patrick are horribly underused actors. The star power here is James Garner as the detective working on the case. He doesn't believe a damn word of their story-even when a polygraph test shows they are all telling the truth-and is hellbent on discrediting and exposing them as fakes.
The alien sequence at the end of the film is very effective and creepy. This sequence could have sunk the movie if handled wrong, but thankfully it works damn well. Granted it's been Hollywood-ized and differs from Walton's actual account of what happened to him, but movies have to be sensationalized, right?
If you didn't catch this one the first time around(I don't remember it making a huge splash at the box office), I'd highly suggest seeing it. Hell, I'd highly suggest seeing it even if you have seen it before. It just might make a believer out of ya.
