Capricorn One Ratings & Reviews
- Vincent ReggianniniJuly 11, 2025A government conspiracy movie that I think bolstered the modern day Moon Lander Deniers. This is one of my favorite movies as a child. It has aged decently, especially with today’s over-abundance of conspiracy theory lunatics. Hal Holbrook is great as a man caught between a life-long friendship and a multi-billion dollar industry that NEEDS good news to continue. He’s not the main character, but I eat up every second he is on screen. OJ Simpson is here, too, before he was a wife-murdering, cop-eluding scofflaw. His appearance now causes many cringe moments, but he’s just a background character as one of a trio of astronauts caught in a government cover-up. The helicopter chase scene at the end is brilliant. No CGI here - real Hughes OH-6 "Loach" Model 500s portrayed almost as living beings as they hover, hunt and chase down their prey.
