Chariots of the Gods

Ever questioned how we got here?
Chariots of the Gods has changed my life. It has opened my eyes as an inhabitant of this planet. I always wondered about the gap between our ancestors who supposedly had just learned how to refine metals and the Megalithic era. Just as we start to explore the solar system with our own space craft do we begin to appreciate the possibilities of our own beginnings as a species. Only now, in our modern era can we understand with all our advances over the last 50 years or so, how this documentary makes so much sense to the human journey and all our questions regarding our early beginnings as a race. Once you watch it, and then again and again as I did to really absorb some of the singular facts in it, it is impossible to forget, much less the realisation that the way we view our short, finite time on this blue and green ball has changed for ever. Buy it.

A Real Gem and Fun to Watch!
A film that makes you go 'Hmmmm'.

I first saw Chariots of the Gods in a theater as a kid when it was re-released back in the mid Seventies. I remember having trouble going to sleep that night! Since then I have attained a degree in science, and still think that it has much merit.

Sadly, this is a film that few people seem to be able to see anymore, at least I haven't noticed it making the rounds on mainstream television or cable in the last twenty five years or so.

The transfer was excellent and made from a well-preserved print. I noticed few flaws in this thirty-five or so year old film. There is an extra of pictures, but there are only like eight pictures? Why bother? That part was like a carnival sideshow ripoff. Also, the bio on von Daniken is a short text of one page and was not informative at all. There are scene selections and true to their word a movie trailer.

The film is an interesting whirlwind of exotic location shots...

YES!
Eric is a very interesting man to say the least! I know that it may seem as though he RAMBLES on and maybe he does, BUT, it make you THINK! and REALLY is that not the point when all is said and done? I think he is a very interesting person above all else and his work is EXCELLENT!
