I have seen this movie like 4 times in the past week. I feel like there is a lot I can say about this movie. I dont know how much you know about the movie, but the gist is that there is this town in Alaska (only accessible by plane) that has had some strange occurrences. A psychologist undergo....you know what? I am just going to copy and past the summery and then continue with the blog:
....The movie stars Milla Jovovich, Elias Kosteas in a Fact-based thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover up.
It’s over 30 years since Steven Spielberg brought us Close Encounters of the Third kind and this movie goes on the next stage of encountering aliens, mmm looks good.
The featurette provides a look at aliens Abductions along with the different classes of the encounters with Aliens. Movie is out November 6th in UK/Ireland as well as USA...
I enjoy original scary movies. I think this one was pretty scary. I enjoyed it. The way the movie is put together is very interesting. What they do is use actors and actresses to portray the "real" characters. Then at certain times they use "actual audio or video" in place of the actual movie. Now...of course...you can research and drawl your own conclusion of whether or not you think the actual audio or video is real. However, even if it is fake, you can find facts of strange "happenings" in Nome Alaska. None the less, the first time i watched it, it freaked me out.
Now.
There is one solid conclusion I can make after watching this movie. People who dont believe in the existence of God can explain weird occurrences by blaming it on Aliens. People who understand spiritual warfare understand the demons and dark forces exist. Personally, that is my opinion on the "happenings" in Nome Alaska.
I remember the first time I encountered spiritual warfare. I had taken a group of men to summer camp in Rockbridge VA. After each night, there was a talk that essentially worked through the Gospel, including a need for Christ, sin, the cross, and the resurrection. After the cross-talk, our cabin went back to our room and had our "cabin-time." Then went to sleep. Our room in the cabin was one of the rooms that extended off the main building, therefore, our room was surrounded on 3 sides by windows. I woke up in the middle of the night, all of our windows were open and curtains pulled back - which was normal, the nights were hot, this allowed cold air to move in. I dont know why, but I was alert, like my mind had been thinking or processing something. I then looked outside. What I saw was hard to explain, but what I felt was harder. There was one light post on in the middle of camp that seemed to light up the entire camp. It was dark out, like really dark. But the ground was covered by a solid and consistent thick fog. What I remember feeling was a presence. Both good and evil. It overcame me in a way that is hard to explain. Terrifying, but at the same time comforting, like i wasnt alone. I couldnt help but think that a spiritual war was happening before my eyes. That eternal lives were changing and there was a war for each of us. Eventually, i got up, closed all the windows, shut the blinds and tried to sleep. I didnt work, i layed there untill morning trying to process what I thought was going on.
