Featured Product About This Movie:

UFOs and God (Companion Book) by Derrick Warfel. You can find this book on Amazon!

IN A NUTSHELL:

What would you do or say if, one day, your spouse told you they had been abducted by aliens? That’s exactly what happened to the co-writers and co-directors of this intriguing documentary! Amanda Llewellyn shared her own contact experience with aliens when she was just a child. That began an exploration of these topics, which led to this film!

Directed by husband-and-wife duo Wes and Amanda Llewellyn, UFOs and God is a provocative and fast-moving documentary that explores the surging interest in unidentified aerial phenomena and extraterrestrials through the lens of Christian theology and biblical scripture. Rather than viewing UFOs as benevolent visitors from outer space coming to help humanity evolve, the film tackles the controversial perspective that these encounters are part of an ancient spiritual warfare described in the Bible.

With interviews spanning astrophysicists, theologians, pastors, and real “experiencers,” this film equips viewers with thoughtful answers to modern society’s biggest questions about the paranormal.

TIPS FOR PARENTS:

Eerie and scary images depicting aliens, paranormal entities, and demonic encounters.
Harrowing first-person descriptions of abduction experiences.
Brief alien nudity.
No profanity. Yay!
Recommended for mature tweens, teens, and adults due to the heavy and disturbing nature of abduction stories.

THEMES:

Faith vs. the unseen world
Spiritual discernment and testing claims
Spiritual warfare and ancient conflict
Science and Christian theology working hand-in-hand
Finding truth and transformation through Christ

THINGS I LIKED:

The film features a diverse panel of credible experts including astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross, Christian apologists Greg Koukl and Kenneth Samples, astronomer Dr. Jennifer Wiseman, and veteran researchers.
We’ve already seen a bunch of documentaries about alien encounters, right? This one is different! It offers a balanced and informative approach that does not resort to mere sensationalism or fear-mongering.
The excellent pacing keeps you hooked from start to finish while packing in tons of factual and biblical research. It’s grounded deeply in scripture, providing a solid framework for Christians struggling to navigate mainstream UFO news.
There’s an interesting conversation about how Hollywood has been pumping out UFO and alien movies for decades. The question is asked: “Is it their way of preparing us?” People have been talking about this very idea when the film Disclosure Day came out recently! Have you read my review of Disclosure Day?
I got a kick out of the reenactments, visually goofy moments, and sense of humor mixed with the serious conversations.
Can science and religion work together? I say YES! What say YOU?
The film shows the married hosts interviewing people on the streets to get the “everyday man” reaction to the question “Do you believe aliens exist?” A young teen said, “There’s gotta be something smarter than us!” ha ha
The religious conversations in the film are based on basic Christian beliefs, however, there are also insights into other religions and how they interpret alien encounters.

THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:

There are many theories tossed around during the movie. Some viewers may be frustrated that there isn’t a definitive answer to the alien question.

FUNNY LINES:

“Oh my gosh.”

INTERESTING LINES:

“People are being told these are visitors from other planets, advanced beings to help humanity evolve to the next level… But when examining the evidence alongside Scripture, you see it’s simply part of an ancient, invisible war continuing since the creation of mankind.” — Host & Co-Director Wes Llewellyn

* “What do we really know?” – host

“Spielberg’s film, Disclosure Day, asked, ‘What does this do to fundamental religious beliefs? Is our God only the God of this planet? Should we look to other sources for truth?’ Our documentary seeks to answer these and other questions for people of faith.” — Co-Director Amanda Llewellyn
“This isn’t about paranoia of the unknown.” — Executive Producer Derrick Warfel
“Test everything; hold fast what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (Quoted in the film)
“We have to ask: Is it possible?” – host
