Movies: Area Q

"Area Q" is movie that was released in 2011 and is Portuguese and English. It takes place in the northeastern Brazilian towns of Quixada, Quixere, Quixelo, and Quixeramobim that have been alien hot spots for centuries. The area is rich in uranium which is one explanation that locales have for UFOs stopping by.
The first character we are introduced too is a man known as Joao Batista , a local farmer, who was abducted in 1980. Since his abduction the locals now something is different with him, some believe he is crazy and others see him as a miracle worker. Eventually he disappears leaving his wife and child behind.

Decades later the story picks up with Thomas Mathhews a reporter who recently lost his son. His son, Peter, was kidnapped in Los Angeles with no leads. The investigation is ongoing, but Thomas believes it was the work of a child predator. Eventually Thomas has to get back to work and he is assigned to cover a story i Brazil involving recent cases of UFO and Aliens. When he arrives there he is met by Eliosvaldo who will act as his guide while touring the towns and gathering information. Two most well known and recent cases are Maria and Josias. Josias claims that a UFO touched down on his property and burned an area into the ground. The dirt there has some unusual properties as their is a 20 degree difference from the surrounding dirt. Maria case is an alien abduction in which she was cured from ovarian cancer and became healthy. She was even able to become pregnant. A curious scar was left on her hand that resembled "1110". Rosas and her family believe it is a miracle from God, and it is true because of the smell of jasmine left in the air.

During this time there is another investigation going on by a local news crew and Thomas becomes acquainted with Valquaria. She is running a story trying to debunk the areas recent activity as a hoax. Thomas begins to see some patterns as a mountain by Josias is identical to the one his son drew on the day he disappeared. During the night he goes off and investigate Josias property alone and Joao appears and talks about his son, and soon disappears as soon as Valquaria arrives. A day later he and Eliosvaldo go visit Batista's family after Thomas identifies the man he met at night as Joao. While there he discovers that Joao son drew the same exact mountain that Peter did when his dad disappeared. As he is trying to make sense of things, he gets a call from the LAPD detective handling his son's cases which reveals some confusing evidence. They managed to catch the child predator and found a video that shows what happened to Peter. Apparently a golden white light took Peter, he was there one minute and then disappeared. Thomas tries to get back to Los Angeles as he found a lead, but is confused by his experiences. He encounters Valquaria again and opens up to here. He eventually sleeps with her, but has an odd dream which he is told he will see his soon again. That night he goes back to Josias property and again encounters Joao. Apparently Joao was taken to be a spokesperson for these aliens and begins to tell Thomas the reasons for the abduction and what needs to be done. Thomas is confused and angry, knowing what the aliens are doing is wrong and that we are just being used. Thomas just wants Peter back. Thomas returns to town to go home, but finds that a whole year has passed. He experience a severe case of missing time, luckily the hotel's son and Eliosvaldo is there to explain to him that indeed he was missing for a year.  

As he heads home, he needs to go back to Josias property one more time in hopes to see his son. There he does encounter a UFO, but also Valquaria. We fid out she is working for the government and is trying to protect us from them. She intends to kill Thomas so no one will hear his story. The aliens intervene and teleport her mile away. Since then Valquaria has done her best to discredit Thomas and bringer greater suspicion to his case with his missing son. Unbeknownst to all, the aliens did tell Thomas that he would get his soon back on 1/1/2011 at certain coordinates which happened to be in Sierre Lione, Africa. There he finds a women in childbirth and helps delivers the baby. It is a boy with a marking on him of 1111, and his mother dies. Thomas has his son back.

My Opinion:

You never see an Alien in this movie. What we do see are energy beings that are able to assume the shape of humans that have the ability to bend space and time. We see a lot of orange orbs, but are not sure if these are aliens or just part of the energy field. What is also interesting is that the manifestation of these crafts match the older sightings in which they were often mistaken for the the sun. Regardless, there is something still insidious about the fact we are being used against are will.
