  • I Want to Believe is one of the more compelling UFO documentaries that I've seen. I'm a bit of a skeptic still, but I like watching these films to see what they have to say and I Want to Believe definitely maintained my interest. The film presents well known UFOlogists, why they got into the field, and the most credible information about the subject. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, I think you're going to want to watch I Want to Believe.
  • Sadly just another repetitive UFO documentary which uses too much CGI and pointless or random unexplained imagery to spice up what is effectively a radio show style discussion.

    What was being said was fair enough, and well enough put, but for those who have followed the UFO story, it brings nothing new to the table.

    It's almost as though these CGI fest all talk with no visual substance documentaries are being made to bore the pants off of people who may otherwise have gained some interest.
  • I Want to Believe was truly an intriguing UFO film. All of the interviews were really compelling. Director J. Horton did an impressive job giving the audience an inside look in this continued phenomenon. This subject matter is one that has always peaked my interest. Hearing first hand from several experts who have worked in this field within several world governments helped to lend credibility to the film as well. The music, editing, camera work were all on point.

    There's been docs about UFO enthusiasts, and it's time for an update and this one does a good job of doing so, by not only relying on the accounts of regular people, but also actual government workers who were employed to track this kind of data. It was good to see the two camps juxtaposed and how they compare and contrast to each other. I have been around when people saw what was commonly described, but also don't feel like it's such a wild and crazy idea, or even that big a deal, so I tend to believe there are such unexplained aerial phenomena, anyway. So not sure this will change anyone's mind, but I did find this doc informative and engaging.
  • A well-produced doc on ufology, I was pleasantly impressed with the depth, quality and presentation. Though I'm a skeptic, I'm also a big sci-fi fan and am fascinated with the topic, and this film successfully kept me interested throughout. I felt most of the interviewees were each qualified to speak on the subject, and I was relieved that some had some new insights I hadn't heard before. What I was particularly impressed with was the balanced approach it took, not trying to force you to believe, but laying out the data and letting you decide. And the amount of data, personal accounts and theories will give you plenty of food for thought. Would highly recommend for the doubters!
  • I'm a sucker for anything UFO related. So of course I find myself watching a lot of crap! However, not this time!! This is one terrific UFO documentary. Director J. Horton does a great job of telling the story without lulling the viewer to sleep (which is often times the case). This is a wonderful UFO doc to watch for the skeptics. Skeptic or not, you will be entertained watching, I Want to Believe!!
  • I Want To Believe is a highly informative Documentary on UFO's and if you don't believe in them, you may after watching this Documentary. I believe in UFO's and have watched many specials on the subject and this Documentary gets two thumps up.

    I Want to Believe is a well-produced and compelling UFO documentary. Whether you already believe or not, this film does a great job at presenting evidence through interviews and footage with well-known "UFOlogists". I've seen a handful of documentaries about this subject and I Want to Believe is definitely one of the better ones! Totally worth checking out on Amazon prime!
  • I Want to Believe is a really immersive documentary about the never ending UFO fascination. All the interviewees are very knowledgeable and informative. I actually learned quite a bit that I didn't know before. The editing is fantastic, with good pacing and interesting archive material. Check it out!
  • Im fan of the show Ancient Aliens so this doc caught my attention. It takes a couple of the shows more credible, level headed contributors and lets them talk about recent sightings in a cohesive way without the crazy spin and jumping to conclusions that Ancient Aliens is famous for.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    It really distinguishes itself from some lesser UFO docs by having credible sources and experts and providing some intriguing details and compelling proof. A must watch for both UFO fans and sceptics alike !
  • So do you or don't you - believe in UFOs and life beyond earth? This documentary will take you into a world of research and information with a variety of perspectives so one can become more informed. Then it's up to you to decide if you believe or not. Many unusual non tangible events can be explained away, but if there is compelling repetitive information and data, such as presented in these interviews, you can to take a minute to consider if the skeptic in you is still valid or not.
  • Really decent documentary. I watch a lot of documentaries in this genre and no matter how many I watch I still get the same sense of wonder. The cases discussed might not be groundbreaking but the subject matter is just as engaging as ever. The sad truth of this genre is again there's no definitive answers here, but the questions as still so interesting!

    Whether you believe in aliens or not, this documnetary is thoroughly engaging. It provides a pulse on what is currently happening in the world of UFOlogy, and I even learned a new term - USO - unidentified submerged object. Definitely worth the watch!

    This doc does a great job of combining the best parts of the classic History Channel documentaries with current information and--ahem--disclosures. If you are at all intrigued by the UFO phenomenon this is well worth the watch. I leaned so much and appreciated the in depth interviews from sources I hadn't seen before
  • There is so much we can learn about other life on other planets. I Want to Believe is a nice in-depth film posing these questions that most of us want to know and interviews and answers by those who have first-hand experiences. A well put together documentary. It makes you keep pondering, learning, and exploring and that's a good thing.
  • Interesting doco with interviews from sincere (sounding) people....but what's with the lighting?!?!?!

    Either do it right or fix it in post!
  • This divisive topic is mired in controversy. As a life long skeptic I found the testimonies interesting-some more credible than others, all very passionate.

    I want to believe is basically wanting to believe people who have seen UFO and I will probably never know but I documentaries like this make you want to believe.
  • I Want To Believe explore's humanity's curiosity in extra-terrestrial life. The interviews are compelling and informative. It is well worth your time.
  • I'm a sucker for UFO documentaries and this one did not disappoint. The production has gathered some really great people to interview and the result is a very insightful and straightforward investigation into quite a few relevant mysteries. Highly recommended for followers of the unknown.
  • If you're a fan of the show "Ancient Aliens" you will probably enjoy watching this. This documentary goes a little more into detail about what people like Nick Pope believes & they look more into stuff that's happened around the world. To the person that says Nick Pope & Nick Redfern were given more time, obviously doesn't have a clue who these people are. Nick Pope worked for the British Ministry of Defense & actually studied these phenomenon. He's also been in MANY documentaries along with Nick Redfern & Mike Bara who were also in the series Ancient Aliens on the History Channel. They are highly qualified & very well versed in UFOlogy.
  • Very well-done and rational documentary on the phenomenon of UFOs and alien encounters, told through interviews of military experts, researchers and truth-seekers. J. Horton does a really good job putting the issues around UFOs in historical perspective (WW2, Cold War) and showing the complexities behind it, without making his interviewees sound like charlatans or weird conspiracy theorists. For a lay person like me, I would love to find out more about some of the specific cases evoked, like one famous abduction instance mentioned. Maybe in another series of documentaries?
  • I'm very interested in UFO's and if you have even a passing interest in this phenomena then this doco is a great watch. Experts in UFOlogy (is that a word?!) discuss famous cases and lesser known stories. All of them fascinating. A great introduction to the world of UFO's. Are we alone in the universe? Are UFO's extraterrestrial? That is for you to decide. The documentary takes a measured unbiased approach allowing you to draw your own conclusions. Regardless of where you stand, this is a great doco that is well worth your time.
