Review of Sirius

Sirius (2013)
10/10
A compelling, somewhat clumsy stab at the truth

Warning: Spoilers
This film is catching massive amounts of flack across the internet, with the common claim being that it is solely a vehicle for the monstrous ego of Dr. Steven Greer. The 'alien' body has been debunked as human, and conspiracy theorists are skewering it for containing little to no new information. However, they are missing the fundamental point of Sirius: this is a film for the general masses on an incredibly unorthodox subject.

The documentary opens in a fashion that seems geared towards yielding itself up for ridicule. Steven Greer is presented as a tireless fighter for truth in the midst of the most substantial lie ever perpetrated. He speaks openly about the vast conspiracy wreathing the human race, and strives to shear away the faintest doubt of the existence of aliens, instead taking their presence as solid fact. The beginning of the film shows him secluded in the desert with other seekers intent on summoning UFOs with the power of meditative projection. Opening the film with this sequence does present a stumbling block to the average viewer, as it delves into the spiritual aspect of contact before revealing the subsequent hour and a half of witness testimony, information on alternative energy sources, and the analysis of the Atacama humanoid. Why it was chosen to present up-front the aspect of Greer's research most likely to draw skepticism is baffling, and it does hinder the progression of the film, especially to skeptical minds. However, this sequence is accompanied with numerous images of UFOs summoned by the meditative process, including an incident where the resultant craft is hounded by a military jet. The videos are beautiful and intensely compelling.

The film also deals with the breakdown of the military industrial complex, which it does with aplomb. Greer is quick to point out the vested interest of oil companies in sculpting reality, and his revelations of the interconnectedness between Big Oil and Big Banks are without reproach. Similarly, his explanation of how off-the-books black projects are able to siphon up taxpayer money to support their secret work is succinct.

The free energy segments have been dismissed around the web as pseudo-science, a predictable response. There is a massive resistance in the human psyche to change, especially amongst the hallowed halls of High Science, which is quickly supplanting organized religion as the chief means of restricting minds. The outright dismissal of the claims of the inventors is jarring when one considers the bevy of evidence presented in Sirius concerning various pioneers who, over the course of the last century, have devised working, testable free energy devices only to be silenced by either death or humiliation, their inventions confiscated by the government or destroyed in strange accidents. Mocking the fringes of science marks the death of scientific inquiry; thankfully, several top geneticists work with the film crew to decode the DNA of the Atacama humanoid, and I can assure you that, despite rampant reports to the contrary, the results of these tests are truly astounding.

Greer has also gathered together a cast of high-level witnesses to UFOs, exposing the web of secrecy surrounding what we are encouraged by the dominate culture to dismiss as hoaxes, hallucinations, or balls of extremely hyper swamp gas. Again, conspiracy theorists are complaining bitterly about the fact that many of these interviews were available in previous form, but this is a documentary made for the largely uninitiated mind. If you've spent your life digging through leaked government documents and watching every single scrap of UFO-related media, you will probably be unsurprised by what you find here. However, I found the witness testimonies to be riveting; these people are adamant in their claims, and I see no reason to disbelieve them. Amidst all the scorn directed at Dr. Steven Greer, one must remember that he has been working towards disclosure for twenty years, over which time he has gathered together hundreds of incredibly high-level witnesses that support his claims. This is not a mere isolated crackpot bent on gathering a cult of personality.

Finally, on to the alien body itself. Greer does go out of his way to refer to the body as alien in origin, and the film was presented as containing irrefutable proof via DNA testing of the existence of ETs. Taking this into consideration, I understand why the revelation that the body is to some degree human would cause great consternation and dismissal of the project as a fraud, but it isn't that simple. The body does contain human DNA, but does NOT suffer from any of the genetic disorders commonly associated with its deformations. The being lived to at least be six years of age, which considering its 6-inch size is phenomenal in its own right. As for the humanness of the specimen, the geneticist speaks about a large amount of 'junk' DNA that his analytical programs disregarded in seeking the creature's classification. He ultimately refuses to state the absolute nature of the body, ending his report by saying that, "I'd like to say more, but I'm worried about opening myself up to attack." He is currently combing through the extraneous DNA for further clues as to the body's origin and species, and is looking to publish a comprehensive paper on the subject. As such, internet-wide dismissals of the body as 'simply human' are incorrect, and betray the shocking dualism of widespread/mainstream thought. There are subtleties to the creature's DNA that need to be further explored, and thankfully it seems that this research is under way.

In all, Sirius is a somewhat clumsily made product that nonetheless collates a massive amount of revolutionary information. Those inclined to mock Dr. Steven Greer will find ample cause; however, one of the greatest tools of mental control is convincing the masses to mock baldfaced revelation. The rigidity of modern thought has certainly been on display in the mass response to this film, which I can assure the potential viewer is worth thorough viewing.
