DVD Description
From the director of Shameless and Phoenix Nights (Jonny Campbell) comes the truth behind one of the biggest hoaxes the world has ever seen. In 1995 a piece of footage shook the world. With a bigger world-wide audience than Live Aid a piece of top-secret military film from Roswell in 1947 that showed the autopsy of an Alien being was broadcast around the globe. The film was brought to the attention of the world by best friends Ray (Declan Donnelly) and Gary (Anthony McPartlin). Media frenzy ensues which catapults Ray and Gary into the limelight, but the two of them have an even bigger secret and if the truth got out what would happen to them? Based on true events, Alien Autopsy is the story of two unlikely lads from London who became icons of UFOlogy.

Format:DVD
I love Ant and Dec and thought that they were amazing actors in this movie! I see them as being presenters, but when watching this you completely forget that and just think of them as 2 great actors. Their friendship shines through in this movie and they play the parts of Ray (Dec) and Gary (Ant) really well. The plot is really good and very funny! The DVD includes deleted scenes, outtakes and a small film of Ant and Dec explaining about how they made 'Alien Autopsy'. An excellent first movie for Ant and Dec...I just hope they do more!

Format:DVD
Based on the true story, this follows the story of two twenty-something surprisingly normal British lads, Ray Santilli and Gary Shoefield(portrayed by TV favourites, presenters Ant and Dec) who fly to America to buy footage of Elvis as part of a business scheme to copy and distribute the film back in Britain.
What Ray finds instead is a client called Harvey, who offers to sell him footage of something entirely different; an alleged authentic film from 1947 following the events of the Roswell incident, showing an Alien-being under autopsy.
Ray, believing he can use the video to amass a small fortune, brings the footage back to Britain to sell it, however, when he arrives back with the reel of footage, he finds that it's been damaged and is unwatchable.
Panicking, as he's already been paid for the footage that hasn't been provided to the threatening Laszlo Varos, a drug-dealer and fan of crop circles, Ray realises that he has little choice but to try and replicate the film. Bringing in a guy who shoots weddings on weekends, an undertaker and a butcher, Ray and his friend Gary start to re-enact what Ray claims he saw on the movie.
As time progresses what started out as a quick-fix money-making scheme escalates into an event that shook the world over and left people wondering for years whether their video was a hoax or authentic.
What's interesting, as I mentioned at the beginning of the review, this is based on true events, beal life or not, the movie has a lightheartedness about it, and isn't shot too much in a way that makes you feel as if you're watching a true story, it feels more like fiction which makes it far easier to enjoy. Ant and Dec's movie acting is also impressive considering their previous experience was only limited to roles in "Byker Grove" and a bit part in "Love Actually".
It's not as much of a flop as everyone had said, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think many people will.

Ant and Dec are in the film buisness! Alien Autopsy, starring the duo themselves, is about two best friends: Gary(Ant) and Ray(Dec).
In 1995, a mysterious piece of top secret black and white film footage, filmed during the Roswell incident of 1947. The film showed an autopsy - an autopsy of an ALIEN.
Ray and Gary were responsible for discovering this footage. It throws them into the very centre of a media frenzy that makes them global stars. But they have a bigger secret, and if anyone found out, what would happen?
Based on true events, Alien Autopsy is the story of two ordinary lads from London that became icons in UFOlogy.
I personally am quite interested in space but i don't really believe in aliens but watching this film has made me wonder - are we alone?

well.... it's not as bad as i thought it'd be. with a better, funnier script it could have really taken off. but it's a pleasant enough way to waste some time.

Better than expected
I'm not Ant & Decs biggest fan. Infact I wouldn't consider myself A fan. I did like the idea of this film though- two normal people fooling the world. Read more
