I watched a fair number of Alex Jones’ documentary films recently, and the following is the list of documentary films that I watched with my reviews.
TerrorStorm:
TerrorStorm chronicles false flag operations in US history and in the history of a couple of other countries (e.g., UK) and argues that US government and its allies plan to create fascist governments by manipulating terrorised populations; the film also argues that these governments collaborate each other in order to create a unified oppressive fascist government eventually. Many of you probably think that these are outrageous claims, but these are sort of conspiracy theories that Alex Jones presents.
(By the way, if you do not know who Alex Jones is, he did “Man in Car with P.A.” in “Waking Life”; the clip is available at Google Video “Alex Jones in Waking Life“.)
TerrorStorm claims that 9/11 was an inside operation, that is, 9/11 was a false flag operation. If you watched a couple of documentaries and lectures on 9/11 such as Loose Change and Steven Jones’ lecture, then you would not be learning anything new. If not, and if you generally believe that the government is a violent entity not only toward the non-domestic population but also toward the domestic population, you’d probably find that video footages presented and arguments made rather intriguing. He did a good job of putting together this documentary. Alex Jones also claims that 7/7 London bombings was a false flag operation; he presents interesting video footages and makes interesting arguments also. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say this given the subject matter, but this documentary was pretty entertaining.
I don’t know if his analysis(?) on every single event is accurate or not; however, if you actually go look up evidences, then you’d probably find that TerrorStorm does not make a totally outrageous claim. Here are a couple of questions that you probably want to ask before you rush to judge the core message of TerrorStorm. Many people around the world are unhappy for good reasons, but are they so driven to learn to manage to acquire pretty sophisticated weapons, plan and execute number of sophisticated terror operations around the world? Can it be done? My guess is that there are terrorist groups around the world, but I am not so sure if any of them can carry a highly sophisticated terrorism operation such as 9/11. Also my guess is that a fair number of terrorism operations and military operations are planned and executed by western governments. If you agree with this or if you believe that it’s not impossible, then you’d probably find TerrorStorm rather intriguing. You can actually watch the film for free at the following URL.

In case that you’re wondering, this is a legal copy and Alex Jones acknowledges it.
911: The Road to Tyranny:
This documentary is … pretty intense. It’s pretty out there, and … I had to try pretty hard to suppress my laughter in order to keep watching this. Alex Jones argues that Bush Senior, Bush Junior, Clinton and all the rest are not only corrupt, but they orchestrated false flag operations such as Oklahoma Bombing and 9/11 to gradually create the police state called “United States of America”; he also argues that UN was created to create the global police state, and all politicians and so called world leaders have been actively structuring UN so that it will become the modern day international version of Nazi/Soviet. If you’re looking for some laugh Friday night, I recommend this one. It’s a good stress release.
That said, that said, … I can’t say that Alex Jones is totally overreacting, nor can I say that he is totally out of this world. This is a documentary film, and he’s making his case based on real events, interviews, news articles and research papers. There is a certain truth in what he argues in this documentary, and … it’s kind of educational (in my opinion anyway). I don’t think that you should start thinking that the sky is falling, but … you do want to remember that “911: The Road to Tyranny” isn’t exactly a made-up story if you have a chance to watch the film.
Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State:
The first half is actually pretty informative, though parts of it are a bit argumentative. The second half goes pretty crazy. The film argues that there is a secret society attempting to shape the world in a certain way; the film also argues that US is not only copying Nazi, but also Nazi survivors are actually instrumental in creating the forth Reich in US.
US has the highest prison population rate, which is roughly 700 per 100,000, and US also has the biggest absolute size of the prison population, which is roughly 2 million. Statistically speaking, there is a pretty good reason why US should be called a “Police State” or “Prison State.” This is a real serious social problem, and that is a fact; however, I can only recommend this documentary if you’re looking for something fun to watch. If you’re looking for a serious documentary about 9/11, I wouldn’t recommend this one. It’s not because the core message of the film “Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State” is totally outrageous but the way in which the message is presented is a bit over the top.
America Destroyed by Design:
The message in “America Destroyed by Design” is kind of anecdotal. He essentially argues that the world government is being created, and America is systematically being sold to the world government. His argument is rather weak unfortunately. However, if you’re looking to hear an alternative view, then this is one of documentary films that you might want to check out.
Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove:
“Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove” is a documentary film about Bohemian Grove. Alex Jones claims that a lot of top government officials around the world come visit Bohemian Grove once a year and they perform a bizarre ritual there. He manages to get into Bohemian Grove with a hidden camera and records a bizarre ritual performed. However, the camera is so shaky that you get headache as you watch the film. Also the entire image is blur, and you can’t really tell exactly what kind of ritual is performed. Alex Jones references books and explains what the ritual is about, but there is really no concrete video evidence at the end of the day. Also you have to wonder what the core message of the film is. It’s a pretty unimpressive film.
I’m guessing that Alex Jones tries to uncover dark secrets inside Bohemian Grove, but the fact of the matter is that he was unable to find any concrete evidence showing that there is a dark secret. I’m guessing that Alex Jones edited what he filmed anyway and created this documentary film, but the end result is nothing impressive. It’s pretty boring actually. I do not recommend this film; there is not much to watch in there.
Matrix Of Evil:
I like “TerrorStorm” and “911: The Road to Tyranny”, but all other films aren’t that impressive to be honest, and “Matrix Of Evil” is one of them (To be fair, “TerrorStorm” and “911: The Road to Tyranny” are two of more recent documentary films that Alex Jones made, so I suppose that his films are getting better). “Matrix Of Evil” has no cohesive message; it has some interesting video footages, but that’s about it. I wouldn’t say that I totally wasted my time watching this film. I did learn a few things, but I do not recommend this film.
The Masters of Terror:
I watch a fair number of films, and I feel like I need to watch at least several films directed and produced by Alex Jones to get an idea of what Alex Jones as a film maker has to offer, but that’s pretty much the only reason why I decided to watch “Alex Jones, The Masters of Terror”. I will watch one or two more films directed and produced by Alex Jones, but that’ll be it for now.
After I watched “The Masters of Terror”, I must admit that I was pretty disappointed. Alex Jones has directed and produced quite a few films, but he essentially recycles same video footages and same ideas over and over. There are a few films that I really like (”TerrorStorm” and “911: The Road to Tyranny”), and I also find that his radio shows are pretty entertaining and kind of informative; his radio shows are a bit different. However, I honestly do not regard him highly as a film maker. Too many of his films have no cohesive message. Too many of his films use same video footages. Too many of his films essentially throw same ideas (like how the world government is taking away our liberty and what have you) into those films. “The Masters of Terror” is one of them. If you have not watched any of him films yet and if “The Masters of Terror” is the first Alex Jones film that you watch, then you might be amused because Alex Jones does offer different viewpoints and include video footages that you typically do not see in TV and cable programs. However, if you have watched two or more films that he directed and produced already, you would probably not find anything new in “The Masters of Terror”. No revelation, no inspiration.
To sum up:
“TerrorStorm” is the first Alex Jones film that I ever watched, and I actually enjoyed watching the film. “911: The Road to Tyranny” is not a bad film, either. However, I felt a bit disappointed as I watched many more Alex Jones films. I do not mean to trash Alex Jones, but after I watched several films, I cannot say that I am a big Alex Jones (as a filmmaker) fan. If and when he makes a new film, I would probably give it a shot, but his earlier films are rather unimpressive. I appreciate the fact that he presents different viewpoints, but I cannot regard Alex Jones highly as a filmmaker at this point.
