| Rating |  | | Date | July 29, 2005 | | Summary | "Travis, get in the truck!" | Content
 | One of the best UFO movies ever done to this point. This film has scenes of true terror. The charactor of Travis is played near flawlessly by D.B. Sweeney. His alien abduction is unlike any other thats been put on film. Robert Patricks' role as the concerned friend is a remarkably expressed down to Earth portrayal. James Garner plays an outstanding ultra suspicious investigator. The rural setting adds an understandable skepticism about the bizzare UFO story. The aliens look fakeish, but that doesn't take away from their cold, heartless actions and the otherworldly image they give off. With the same content this movie could easily have been a back shelf bomb. However, careful analysis of thoughts and ideas prevailed. It is based on a supposedly true story and handles it well. The movie also deals with friendship, and the layers it has. The film is different because it deals with two seperate issues:Whats happening on Earth/Whats happening with the abducted. Good Sci-Fi all around. The dvd is quality is very good. Turn it up. |

| If you wanted to see what the Travis Walton case was all about, this movie seems to bring home the real issues of abduction cases. |
| Rating | | | Date | January 29, 2005 | | Summary | Great Story For Believers and Non-Believers | Content
| Looks at the claimed abduction of Travis Walton. Shows how people react to claims of the UFO. Great human responses in the movie. It allows the viewer the ability to determine if they believe or not. Focuses on the impact of the incident more than the incident itself, allowing the viewer to almost visualize more than shown. |
| Rating | | | Date | December 21, 2004 | | Summary | Creepily effective, you judge if it's true | Content
| Based on the supposedly true account of alien abductee Travis Walton, Fire in the Sky is creepily effective in it's storytelling and presentation. D.B. Sweeney plays the logger who, along with his co-workers, witnesses bizarre lights hovering in the sky. Travis attempts to get a closer look, and is seemingly beamed aboard and never seen again until five days later. While the events in the film differ from Walton's own account, Fire in the Sky manages to get under your skin once Travis has a flashback of the events that transpired aboard the spaceship. The alien beings are surprisingly well designed, and the ordeal Travis goes through will make your skin crawl despite the film's PG-13 rating. It's not perfect, but the cast (including T2's Robert Patrick, Peter Berg, Craig Sheffer, and James Garner) makes it work. All in all, if you are one of the many people who zone out to the X-Files and UFO phenomina, give this a look. |
