Review of Terrorstorm

Terrorstorm (2006 Video)
7/10
Conspiracy theories?
18 December 2006
First, I found this piece at times to be a bit too... well, propagandistic. I mean, I do genuinely agree with a lot of the interesting stuff that Alex Jones does bring up on the subject of government-sponsored terrorism, but at times, it feels like there's a lot of focus put on Alex himself, his speeches, activism and him as the first one to question the official truth about 9/11 and all. I won't judge the flick itself, but perhaps there's a bit too much glorification about the guy in the end, at least that was the feeling I got both during the flick as well as after the credits rolled.

For the facts and theories presented, I can't say else than that the material just confirms a lot of the so called cynical beliefs and theories I do have upon the subject of the attacks on 9/11. Though the piece presented some really interesting points that was new to me, I sometimes felt, during the roll of the flick, that I longed for a deeper explanation regarding some of the presented material. I also longed for mini-texts in the bottom-left of the screen explaining who the respective interviewed subject was and their position/relevance for the "conspiracy theories". I mean, if one weren't keeping 110% focus during some sections of the flick, I believe the director just could've interviewed more or less any random guy throwing their views upon the camera lens.

Anyhow, all-in-all, I liked the flick and I think people should at least try to see it once, though take it with a bit of salt. To me, the potential of this flick, is to let it act as a trigger - to start questioning the establishment and their statements. With that said above, I wouldn't consider it to be a great source of the most objective thoughts on the planet, as there is a subjective reason (of course) why Mr Jones made this film from the very beginning.

7/10 from me.
