To me, the movie appeared to be a thinly veiled attempt to portray human beings as villainous antagonists in their dealings with alien visitors, to conjure empathy towards fictitious aliens who are supposedly held captive here, and to begin to acclimate the viewing audience to the appearance of tall, strange aliens with yellow eyes. The fact that the movie was framed as a pseudo-documentary makes it all the more gratuitous.
