Review of Area 51 (2015) by David B — 19 Jun 2017
Area 51 is the perfect example of how not to make a found footage film. The first half of the film is needlessly spend watching the group preparing for their trip to Area 51. This could easily have been done in 15 minutes so quite how it was dragged out to 45 minutes is beyond me as nothing happens at all.
The next 20-25 minutes of tedium are spent with the group finally entering and looking around an incredibly poorly secured Area 51 all whilst showing the viewer nothing of interest. Things finally kick-off in the last 20-25 minutes but the camera is so shaky that it's not that easy to tell what is actually happening.
