Capricorn One
- Vincent Reggiannini11 juli 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.
- sixx847 maj 2026Somewhat dated but a fantastic watch. Packed full of stars some of whom I’ve not seen in ages. Great story which at the time and the state of technology would not be too difficult to pull off. Give it a go, look pst the faults and enjoy.
- Peter Bickford10 juni 2025It's not a classic, but it's better than the "They faked the moon (actually Mars) landing!" summary it gets in pop culture. The cast seems game enough to roll with the premise, and OJ's pre-murder acting never disappoints.
- Loperator1322 juli 2025Fantastic! Found it very compelling and enjoyable.
- Scott Seven19 juni 2025Great movie! Ends too soon
- Mark White16 november 2024Feels like an early Speilberg movie. The bi-plane and desert scenes are reminiscent of North By Northwest. Action, sci-fi, political thriller, great actors and spattered with comedic cameos with 70s sensibility and humour. If you haven't seen this you need to watch this now.
