Summary: BAD REVIEWS ARE MISINFORMATION
Review: SOMEONE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS FILM! HAVE THE PEOPLE RIDICULING THIS VIDEO EVEN SEEN IT? THE NEWLY DISCOVERED UNEDITED FOOTAGE IT CONTAINS WAS NOT IN THE FOX SPECIAL AND WOULD PROVE THE FRAUD IN COURT! THIS DOCUMENTARY IS PROFOUND! MANY OF THE BAD REVIEWS WERE WRITTEN EVEN BEFORE THE FILM'S RELEASE AND SOME OF THE UNINFORMED COMMENTS CLEARLY PROVE THEY HAVE NOT EVEN VIEWED IT! PEOPLE ARE PROTESTING THE CONCEPT, NOT THE FILM, AND ARE BURNING A BOOK THEY HAVEN'T READ! THIS FILM SHOWS NEIL ARSTRONG, ON CAMERA, BEHIND THE SCENES, RIGGING PART OF THE MISSION PHOTOGRAPHY 3 DAYS INTO THE FLIGHT! THIS IS WELL WORTH THE COST OF THE VIDEO. I DID NOT WANT TO BELIEVE IT, NEVERTHELESS, IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE! THE GOVERNMENT LIED! WHAT A SURPRISE! IT WAS ALL ABOUT PRIDE! THE U.S. BIT OFF MORE THAN IT COULD CHEW AND WAS NOT WILLING TO ADMIT IT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS LATER! THIS IS A MUST SEE! GET IT BEFORE IT IS BANNED!

Summary: A Complete Waste of Time and Money
Review: There is no way to adequately describe how utterly worthless this video is.

First, other than the "newly discovered" video, there is no new evidence of a hoax. As a matter of fact most of the show is spent discussing the Cold War. There really isn't that much covering the Apollo missions. Sibrel (the man behind the scam) brings up the same tired old arguments, all discredited; the Van Allen Belt, no stars in the photos, diverging shadows, etc.

Next, there is a supposedly 'newly discovered' video clip that shows the astronauts still in orbit when they should have been nearing the moon. The video takes pains to point out how the astronauts used a piece of cardboard, cut into a circle, to mask the earth in a window so it would look like it was small, and, therfore, far away, when it actually filled the window (because he claims they were still in orbit).

But honestly, I could NEVER see what they were talking about. The earth is obviously shown fully in the clip, because you can easily make out the continents and cloud cover. Also, if you look at the earth from orbit, you see it moving quite rapidly below you. But the shots this video shows are completely still.

Give it a few months, and this video clip will be all over the internet. It is, after all, NASA's. Then make up your mind. But do not waste your money on this video.

Summary: We Never Went To The Moon
Review: I have studied this subject of the Apollo Hoax for quite some time now. I have been truly convinced that the Apollo was a Hoax for about 6 months now. If you would like some information, links, or want to argue about the Apollo Hoax, you can contact me at "[e-mail]" ... I check my mail like 15 times a day, and I am usually online if you want to IM me. I would be happy to share with you where I stand as to what I believe was faked. If you believe that we did indeed go to the moon, well then you are essentially "green" ... but I would be glad to argue with you my points, so my e-mail address again is [e-mail], and you can IM me at "Jons4God", I would be happy to hear from many of you!

Summary: A funny thing happened on the way to the moon
Review: I was very disappointed in this video. With 47 minutes of play time, this video spent most of it talking about the history of the space program. Any kind of hoax theory that might have made it interesting was only, at the most, 10 minutes. Granted there were a few things that made it interesting but I felt that this tape used the title to sell old NASA footage and avoided the hoax portion.

Summary: What the tape is REALLY about!
Review: I also saw the Fox show and was highly distressed that our government would pull such a hoax. Because the claims seem so valid, you want to believe them. I don't know that we really went to the moon or not, but this tape is just bad. If you look on the box cover, it shows a picture taken from the movie Capricorn 1 but the assumption is that this is the 'staged' lunar surface. A good portion of the tape is not about the 'hoax', but about our involvement in Vietnam, the Kennedy Assisination, and world hunger. When I first put the tape in the VCR I thought somebody had made a mistake and I got a mislabled tape. There are no 'expert' witnesses-only an annoying lady doing the commentary. There whole theory of the hoax is based on the Van Allen radiation belts would have turned our boys into crispy kritters, but no witness is presented to say this is so. Also, they claim that because Neil Armstrong does not give interviews, he must be hiding something. Even if you liked the TV show, you wont like this. P.S. Dont listen to the Brits who gave the review five stars because, well, they are Brits.

Summary: A Funny Thing Happened in my VCR
Review: The footage shown in this video is the same as what I saw on the FOX special report. I'm guessing that this producer repackaged the sources used on Fox with some "exclusive" footage. Basically, IF you saw the FOX television special then you got all the basic information about the moon hoax.

However... The conclusions drawn in this video and on the Fox Special are seriously flawed. I won't elaborate on details here, but if your seriously interested in this hoax theory visit the enterprise mission website (enterprisemission.com) and look for the "Who Mourns for Apollo?" report.

I gave three stars because the video was well produced and it blazes a trail to uncover hidden truths, albeit flawed conclusions. The people presenting the hoax theories have every right to be suspicious, and there's a bigger truth out there.. if you care to look

Summary: "IMPRESSIVE" DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE!
Review: We have now viewed the DVD and found it amazing. 'Impressive' doesn't even come close. We will feature the title in a news report in our next edition (Mayfair Volume 36 Number 6 - on sale in the UK on 24th May 2001). The web address will be included in the review should our readers wish to order their own copies.

Summary: Geez... gimmie a break!
Review: Oh my God!! What has happened to education in America?? It's amazing how many people will believe anything put in front of them without any thought on their part at all. Let's look at some of the points of proof:

"Flag flapping in the wind" - The astronaut had his hand on the flag pole the entire time 'and' was moving around the whole time, probably using the pole to help steady himself. That would tend to shake a flimsy flag attached to a flimsy flag pole.

"Some shadows are pitch dark, but in others you can see an astronaut" - You get the same effect on Earth. Take a picture of your sunny back yard with a person in a small shadow, you probably won't see the person. Move in closer and take a close-up of the same person, from within the shadow... and you'll be able to see the person.

"Shadows at different angles" - Ever heard of a fisheye lens? They use them all the time. Those lenses make any object on the edge of the picture seem to be at different angles, even if you take a picture of parallel lines.

And is it any coincidence that the related web site has the directors video resume on it? Looks more and more like a self serving show based on anything that is scandalous to bring in the viewers.

Give these people your money if you want, but remember P.T. Barman's' words: "There's a sucker born every minute".

Summary: Please Dont waste your Money
Review: I too, after seeing the Fox Special, bought this Tape. Well, after viewing pretty much the same stuff and wasting my money on this stupid tape. You knew that once you went to the website they were trying to make money. If all this evidence is sooooo good why are they trying to sell it? Why dont they just go to Congress or someone instead of trying to make money off of it? These people that did this tape are just a bunch of conartists themselves...

Summary: Not Flawless, but definintely worth the money
Review: I saw the fox documentary before seeing this one. While both are very good, I think the Fox one was actually more effective at convincing a total skeptic. "A Funny thing Happened" is very well done, but slower paced than the fox documentary. I showed the Fox documentary to 3 skeptical friends and by the end, they were all convinced. Even with all of its cheesy editing and music, it still packs a punch simply because of the way it BOMBARDS you with good evidence for a straight hour. "A Funny thing happened" takes you on a somewhat labored journey. Most of the really convincing evidence doesn't come until midway through. Additionally, it omits some of the other argument- building facts that the Fox documentary includes, like the numerous mysterious deaths (including the Apollo fire on the launch pad). However, "A funny thing happened on the way to the Moon" does a much better job at laying out the motives and historical climate that lead up to the moon missions. Also, this leaked NASA footage of practiced staging is amazing! Seeing this alone is worth the price of the DVD. Bottom line: Folks, I am college educated and typically very conservative. I believe that the moon landing was faked. How does a flag wave on the moon when there is no air? How can shadows be cast in different directions when the sun is the only source of light? These pieces of evidence and more are sitting out in plain view for you to evaluate. Buy this DVD, and get your hands on the Fox special. Watch them both, alone, so you won't feel pressure to scoff in front of your peers. You can not call yourself an "open-minded" person if after viewing the evidence, you still will not allow yourself to believe that such a conspiracy is at least possible.
