Capricorn One

Perfect idea, great realization. I have an affection for movies about conspiracies and the astronautic background is added value (for me). The work of NASA gets an entirely new dimension. :) I’m curious if Americans (here in the real world) will ever make it to Mars. Do you really think that I’m enjoying this? (14/10/2011)

This is pure joy for lovers of all conspiracy theories like the moon landing was a hoax and the skyscrapers blew up on 9/11 with charges prepared well in advance. Hyams' film is based mainly on a paranoid atmosphere, in which the long-established characters of the protagonists move with surprising ease, and on a fast pace that doesn't let up until the end. It's easy to guess what happens, but I kind of wished well on the protagonists. It’s a great film that may hold some unexpected truths... but then I’d have to go back to the beginning of this comment. :) (23/01/2009)

A beautiful example of how mystification can work. Here, you will realize that what you see on television is definitely not what is actually happening. It is well-paced and works both as an action film and a suspenseful thriller, in which the film primarily changes in the second half. James Brolin is not as strong of a character here, the primary focus is on the idea and how it is captured. And that is truly terrifying. (30/12/2014)

Capricorn One pleased and amused me, although it occasionally suffered from a lack of logic, and the special effects were not always convincing. I am not a fan of conspiracy theories, but I am not completely deaf to the fact that Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin played in a completely different sandbox, and I have a valid reason for that. It will soon be forty-five years since the Apollo 11 mission, and you still can't go to a McDonald's or KFC on the Moon. And that is so un-American that it makes you skeptical. / Lesson learned: Do you want to walk on the Moon? Start by buying some white sand. (19/03/2023)

A very decent parallel to Apollo 11. I’m almost surprised that Capricorn One went under my radar for so long. Maybe the Zionist pro-American missionaries did everything in their power to keep me from seeing this movie so that I couldn’t wonder about the truth about the Moon landing. (05/07/2019)
