Em honra de Hal Holbrook (1925 - 2021). Ele é bem interessante no início, construído a partir da teoria que rola há 50 anos que o pouso na lua era hoax, mas o filme perde a mão quando os astronautas "voltam" para a Terra e tudo se transforma num filme de ação. Teria sido brilhante se mostrasse os astronautas convivendo com a mentira no dia-a-dia. BlurayRip RARBG.

Not in the same league as The Parallax View, CO at least has a somewhat tongue in cheek approach to its subject, which helps when it becomes increasingly silly in its 3rd act. Hyams' script is loaded with overripe dialogue, his use of slo-mo is bad, even laughable, the acting is hit and miss, and it drags in the middle act, but it does just enough to keep your attention, and the scene with Savalas culminates in a very finely executed aerial chase

Nasa’nın uzay araştırmalarının aslında sadece bir tv şovu olduğuna dair keskin bir teori içeren oldukça dikkat çekici bir film.Film her nedense hak ettiği ilgiyi pek görememiştir.Belki de Amerika’nın en saygın kurumlarından birini yalancılıkla suçlayan bu film, kasıtlı olarak göz ardı edilmiştir. Film açıkçası oldukça akıcı bir senaryoya ve epey güçlü bir oyuncu kadrosuna sahip.

Good conspiracy movie and sci-fi, but there was virtually no character development and dialogue wasn't much.

I'll bet this makes a great book. It's also a great look back in time at the 70s. As a movie it takes a long time to get moving and even once it does all the real action surrounds one reporter doing his due diligence as his 70s thriller trope requires him to unveil the conspiracy. Gould is great, brolin underused thrown out in the desert for a meandering uninteresting amount of time. The aerial chase at the end is an improbable escape, but the camerawork for the sequence is impressive

It is striking that a good idea becomes a miserable script. Good start but afterwards is full of plot holes, inaccuracies and discontinuities.

Loved its conspiracy paranoia vibe when I was a kid, now it seems like enjoyable hokum. Some really great flying in the helicopter chase: proper old-school stunt stuff, no CGI.

Superficially pandering to conspiracy theorists, Hyam's straight-faced mockery of such theories is his film's greatest asset. The main conspiracy is comically overdone and a central speech directly references technology's role in the ubiquity of modern conspiracy theories - "you could get anyone to believe anything" indeed. However, there are major narrative issues - the comic relief is incredibly annoying and the entire subplot involving Elliot Gould's investigative journalist feels half-baked.
