Cosmos is a cinematic exploration of humanity's obsession with dream science, conspiracy theories, and the fragile line between fact and fiction in a post-truth world. Building on Erich von Däniken’s controversial Chariots of the Gods?, which claims that ancient civilizations were created by extraterrestrials and the result of cross-breeding with early humans, the film investigates the mysterious allure of these visions. Von Däniken's book sales suggest that his version of ancient human history might be the most widely accepted by the literate people of this planet. Although archaeologists have critiqued his arguments, they are often stunned to find that the public overlooks or forgives these shortcomings. From ancient cosmonauts and Vedic flying machines to Pleiadian body snatchers and genetic engineering in Hindu mythology, Cosmos unravels the interconnected web of fantastical beliefs that shape modern culture. Recontextualizing archival material—Cold War experiments, UFO sightings, hypnotism, LSD trials, and archaeological records—Cosmos draws on the spirit of 1970s speculative documentaries, blending lost educational films with a wholly AI-derived script generated from the rules of Surrealist automatism, like ChatGPT programmed by Apollinaire. The result is a disorienting, dreamlike spiral of collapsing conspiracies, where ancient aliens merge with new-age spirituality, and the very core of our existence—our origin, our purpose, our end—shatters under the weight of competing narratives. In a world dominated by misinformation, algorithm-driven echo chambers, and the resurgence of anti-science beliefs, Cosmos exposes the strange crisis of meaning we face today. It presents an alternate history so fractured and bizarre that it leaves us questioning not only what we can trust, but whether we can trust anything at all.
