This is not a documentary, this dvd is a lecture by Colin Andrews, leading expert in the crop circle field, who throughout the lecture gives us a history lesson on the phenomena. A few interesting stories are also told for the first time. There are hundreds of images and film footage shown throughout the lecture, this is a must for crop circle enthusiasts. This lecture looks like its from the late 90's. Very annoying that there is no mention on the back cover that this dvd is a lecture, Waterfall home entertainment, shame on you.

The transfer is very grainy when you see Colin in the lecture theatre, but when it switches to images or film footage, the transfer is very good. I think this is one of the reasons why there is so many photos of crop circles throughout this program. Audio is PCM stereo. Plain menu screen, extras, there is a photo gallery which has 39 photos of crop circles. Running time 64 minutes. Transfer 2/5, audio 3/5, extras 2/5.

I was hoping for an objective documentary to learn about crop circles. The marketing from Waterfall Home Entertainment is deceptive, they neglect to mention that this DVD is an old lecture by Colin Andrews, there are no other people interviewed.

I cannot tell how old this tape was, I am guessing 2000 or so.
Waterfall Home Entertainment does not volunteer any details on the front or back covers.

The recording quality is poor. The video is grainy, the audio is muffled. The collection of crop circle photographs are beautiful and intriguing. About 15 minutes into the lecture I became absorbed in the experiences of Mr. Andrews.

The DVD was worthwhile. It gave me a background on the crop circle investigation in the early years. It has prompted me to purchase Colin's recent book to get more details and up to date news.
