A government bent on keeping the existence of and possible threats posed by “UFOs,” and the film presence of sci-fi fave Gillian Anderson made me wonder if this new movie was inspired by the 1970s British TV series about a secret planetary defense force fighting aliens right under the public’s noses.

It was another Gerry Anderson sci-fi project, lots of models.

I don’t see any evidence of that connection in Ryan Eslinger’s film.
