Documentary filmmaker Ellie Thornton (Mel Hayward) has made the
Cornwall Ufologists the subject of her latest film, hoping to get a
somewhat sensationalist story out of them. Thing is, the four members of
the club - ex-RAF man and teamleader Percival (Derek Frood), serial alien
abductee Gorran (Steven Powell), wheelchair-bound David (Paul Henshall)
who thinks himself a genius bigger than Stephen Hawking, and Raun
"Starman" (Jason Gregg) - are anything but specialists in their
field and have little method to what they're doing, so their excursions
usually leave them empty-handed, their theories are usually ill-founded,
plus they lack the shred of an evidence for the existence of UFOs.
Given its subject matter, Ufologists is pretty much as
unspectacular as they come - and that's exactly what makes the film so
hilarious, it's just fun to see these guys trying and basically failing.
What makes this a good film though rather than just a series of jokes is
that its story has a lot of heart, and even though the four leads are all
slight idiots, they're also very relatable, likeable even, thanks to an
intelligent script and also a strong small ensemble cast. And the sum of
all of this is just great entertainment. ... and if this has
gotten you at all interested, you might want to watch Ufologists
