WATCH THE SKIES Lands on Blu-ray September 23

Family-friendly sci-fi with a tech breakthrough—and just enough weird to keep it grounded

Following its summer run in theaters and digital platforms, the nostalgic sci-fi adventure WATCH THE SKIES (formerly UFO Sweden) is landing on Blu-ray September 23 via XYZ Films and Flawless—the tech company behind the film’s groundbreaking AI-powered visual dubbing.

If you missed it the first time around, now’s the time to catch up. And if you saw it already, this release gives you a closer look at what made this film a global first: Flawless’ visual dubbing technology, which lets Swedish actors appear to be speaking English, without losing their original performances.

The Story

The film centers on Denise, a rebellious teenage girl who refuses to accept the official story about her missing father. She believes he was abducted by aliens, and joins a ragtag UFO club full of lovable weirdos, conspiracy nerds, and true believers. What starts as a search becomes a chase—and eventually, a journey that challenges the laws of both man and nature.

It’s part Spielberg, part Stranger Things, and 100% earnest in its approach. The action is charming, the characters are unforgettable, and the whole thing leans into the kind of genre love that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Blu-ray Bonus Features

The Blu-ray release includes:

• Original Swedish-language version

• Theatrical trailer

• Filmmaker testimonial

• Flawless sizzle reel – highlighting the AI dubbing process

• “The Real UFO Sweden” – a featurette on the real group that inspired the film

For cinephiles, the inclusion of the original language version is a great bonus. You get to see how far the AI dubbing really goes—and how much was preserved.

A First for Film

This marks the first full-length feature to utilize Flawless’ visual dubbing AI for a theatrical release. Rather than relying on traditional voice dubbing, this tech allows the actors’ mouths and faces to match English dialogue, while keeping all original performances intact. It’s weird. It’s impressive. It kind of works—and it opens doors for global genre storytelling in a whole new way.
