A look at the origins, history and conspiracies behind the "Majestic 12", a clandestine group of military and corporate figureheads charged with reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology.
Above Majestic is a conspiracy documentary exploring the alleged Majestic 12 secret government group and extraterrestrial reverse-engineering. It synthesizes a wide range of fringe claims into a reasonably compelling narrative for its audience, giving it some plot coherence as a documentary. However, the production quality is modest, the talking-head interviews are unremarkable, and the cinematography is typical of low-budget conspiracy docs. While the subject matter has a dedicated following, the film largely recycles well-worn UFO and deep-state conspiracy tropes familiar to the genre, limiting its novelty. The ending offers little resolution or new insight, wrapping up without a strong payoff.
