Patient Seventeen

Such a fantastic documentary. I love the way he brings all the evidence to the viewer and leaves us to make those conclusions. Loved it, sad parts, scary parts, more more !!

Fascinating Stuff! Very very curious... we need a sequel. More testing needs to be done! Loved it.

Don't watch it. If you have a geniune interest in ufos, this movie undermines actual efforts to conduct credible research and investigation. The movie amounts to a few scenes that construct a vague narrative with no resolution. There's no coherent thesis or question, because there's no detail. Rambling nonsensical narration and a cast of unnamed characters making grandiose unverifiable claims with unspecificed qualifications further delegitmize any sense of seriousness. The movie attempts to create a sense of importance and urgency around it's presumptions and pretensions, but it's just unbalanced insistence. The narrator meaninglessly states twice a desire to weaponize the viewer's curiousity, what does that mean? One of the final scenes is three guys sitting around couches in a living room reading results of a lab test and earnestly guessing about what it could mean. One of them reveals that he was patient 16 and he takes this issue so seriously his marriage ended, circumstances which create conflict of interest and bias. In the same scene, this character also acknowledges that the test results they are reviewing are not reliable as they would have to be reproduced "hundreds of times" and may simply be a fluke.

What was a 1hr long movie could have been 30min MAX. Seems that they tried to make a documentary out of nothing, and that exactly what you will “learn”.

This film ends before any payoff. Perhaps it was made before the tale was ready to tell? The narrator was particularly windy. Remember when they released a version of Blade Runner without narration? Maybe this film would be improved in the same way.

The doc showed real potential to lead one to “believe”. Though when the surgical “evidence” just disappears when needed for further investigation. This overly very super short moment drops the whole story into the waste bin. So where’s the beef, Corbell?

They say they find what they think is an alien tracker in a man but the item consists only of elements like zinc and metals. There's no research done to showcase any signs of technology. It's 67 minutes long and feels like it was finished because they had enough to incite those who believe in UFOs. Weak journalism.

Earnest and overly poetic film maker strives mightily to make a mountain out of a molehill. Spend an hour watching people talk about a small chunk of metal ... not techie metal, just junk metal ... not an iPod or beacon or transmitter but a literally a tiny fleck of rusted iron ... out of the skin of some poor guy’s knee. Why in the world would aliens “tag” someone there with something like that? It’s not like they found a homing device. He probably got it mowing his lawn. What an incredible waste of time. Glad it was only a 99 cent rental. Only for the exceptionally gullible.

Corbell has a clear, pragmatic vision and execution for his craft and it shows. I’m a fan of the weird and unexplained and this film is what I hope the future holds for this field. We’ve all been sucked into the endless YouTube rabbit holes and that could be either good or bad depending on your BS meter. There’s an authentically to Corbell’s work and he manages to ask the questions that the viewers are screaming at the screen. Keep creating your art, this is the wheat.

Personality and wit. Cinematography. Intriguing characters with real lives (and deaths). This movie races by, and makes me wish the average UFO documentary approached this one in tone and quality.
