Alien Autopsy (12A)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ant and Dec may be the princelings of prime-time TV but they're barely peasant-level in the big-screen stakes. They play a pair of chancers who come by some top-secret footage of the 1947 alien autopsy at Roswell, New Mexico. When the film proves unreliable, they decide to fake their own version. The story is told to an American director (Bill Pullman) via flashbacks, a complication that adds little in the way of texture and nothing in the way of laughs, the sole source of which is the collision of cackhanded DIY autopsy and the intrusive refreshments - Jammie Dodgers, sausages on sticks - provided by Dec's nan. Another British comedy for the slab.
