Why so much hype?

Very best movie i ever watch

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting in this movie is really good.

If by some chance you haven't heard of or seen this "documentary", save yourself the trouble. It is merely a bunch of information presented in a biased and misleading way with the goal of convincing people that somehow, the Apollo moon missions of the late 1960's and early 1970's were faked for some mysterious reason. The "facts" presented in the documentary are all tired old clichés that have all been debunked many years ago, there's really not much to see. Bart Sibrel has no scientific credentials whatsoever, being an ex cab driver, ex TV cameraman, and part-time minister and radio host, and not a pilot, scientist, physicist, mathematician, or any other profession that would give his theories any weight at all. The fact is, he's wrong in his ideas, comically wrong, and this documentary is just an attempt to cash in on the craze for conspiracy theories in general, the theory being that persons amenable to one theory will be likely to listen and believe another, even if it's completely unrelated. It is not a mystery that so many of the people who buy into the moon landing hoax theories are also heavily invested in conspiracy theories involving JFK, 9/11, Oklahoma City, Area 51, or a host of others. The Apollo missions stand as some of the best documented events of the 20th century, as well as the greatest scientific achievements of that century, and this tawdry attempt to diminish their importance and the bravery of the men who flew on them is embarrassing at best, and insulting in any event.

A very good documentary tackling issues such as inconsistent video reels which show date/time when astronauts were still in orbit, and yet at the same time should have already been walking on the moon if original record is correct...Moon landing was definitely faked, if it was possible to send a man outside of low earth orbit then they would have done it since the cold war, but even Russians who were a decade ahead in space travel technology knew it was not possible.One day the truth will come out and people will learn, most likely when they try to send an astronaut outside of the Van Allan belt of radiation.

My boyfriend's room mate brought this movie home from his uncle's house and suggested we all watch it with him. At first, I didn't know what to expect, I mean how could the government POSSIBLY have staged a mission to the moon and a lunar landing! Think of all the people who would be involved and having to have them sworn to secrecy about the whole thing or else they may be eliminated? Sounds crazy, right? Well this movie is really fun to watch - it makes you re-think one of the greatest moments in American history. It gives your brain a workout and sparks some interesting debates as to whether or not Apollo 11 actually landed on the moon, let alone with people inside it who were able to walk out of the craft. It raises such topics as shadows on the videos, interesting never publicized video footage, interviews (or lack thereof), lighting on the space craft, photographs (or lack thereof), video *oops*'s, Russia, the cold war, China, future missions to the moon, staged conversations between the astronauts and mission control, the strength and construction of the space craft itself, and things of that nature. Definitely worth a viewing. Keep in mind it's a pretty cheaply made documentary so you can't expect much along the lines of video quality.

I watched "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon" after viewing Fox's "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" and was impressed with both of them.Really, the two documentaries should be viewed together; there's a lot of overlap of information, but the Sibrel film gets the nod for giving more details about the Van Allen belts, which I believe renders all other points moot.I would have given it a higher rating, but found the music and the narration annoying after a few minutes. Bart Sibrel should have narrated it himself.
