First off, I am not a Christian, so this is not a critique from that perspective, however, the first scene I felt was highly manipulative. There is somebody reading to a group of children and drawing parallels between phenomena described in the bible and UFOs by asking leading questions to the children. Children are highly suggestable, credulous, and (frankly) a pretty stupid bunch so to open your documentary with that seems to me to be wildly distateful. It seems manipulative and like more modern evidence and descriptions would be more appropriate to set the tone for your documentary.
At its face, I felt like this documentary was going to treat me like those children: it would present to me specious logic in a flashy manner and hope I’m credulous and incurious enough to accept it at face value.
Am I wrong? Is it just that scene? Am I overreacting to that scene? What do you think?
