Featured review
Yes its a waste of time.
We are at a strange time in entertainment. We know have nonsense TV shows which make up facts and stories but are being presented as the truth. Unfortunately some people don't have the education or reasoning skills to identify whats simply garbage opinions and what is real scientific evidence.
These people talk about science yet do not understand what it actually is or how it works and in the same breath talk about their rights to believe what they want. This sums up what A Field Full of Secrets is all about.
It follows two men who have a belief that crop circles are made by aliens. There is zero evidence they are and lots of evidence they are made by people. In fact the people who make them are quite open about this. This illustrates how wrongheaded these people are. They ignore actual evidence in favour of their fantasies simply because they prefer them. That one is openly smoking cannabis should tell you something. Also the false belief issues leak into other areas of their lives, one is a biological male who says he is a female. Do you see the pattern?
Based on these false beliefs the guys in the show decide to make a model of a UFO based on their dreams about crop circles. This is a process which will cost thousands of dollars and take up many years and guess what, it didn't work.
The reason this is not a spoiler is that in order for a dreamed up flying machine to actually fly, using technology which doesn't exist, which defies the laws of physics and to be built by people who aren't specialised engineers takes would take a miracle.
So the moral is that you can decide to believe what you want however reality doesn't care about your beliefs when they fly in the face of common sense.
What is laughable however is that it ends with the incorrect conclusion that "science" isn't a waste of time, which is basically the guys in the movie using their mental gymnastics to protect their egos from the reality they wasted so much time and money on nothing. Its a great example of what drives this kind of thinking. Its done to self soothe.
They actually compare themselves to Edison and The Wright Brothers in terms of being scientists which just proves how ignorant they are. Edison and The Wright Brothers were actual scientists who tested hypothesis within their chosen discipline which had a body of evidence to support their work. The guys in this have done the opposite. They based their work on their own beliefs which run counter to all thats known about physics and flight.
In short they are science deniers and ended up wasting huge amounts of time and money which could have been spent on real science which could have improved the lives of others.
This documentary is a waste of time and pushes an anti science selfish agenda which is believe what you want and call it what you want and out anti science beliefs are just as important as real science. Oh and give us money so we can waste it on our vanity projects because we think the worlds wrong but we are right.
The only people who believe this sort of nonsense are conspiracy theorists and we all know how out of touch they are...
Two stars if simply for the production value which was adequate.
