Just watched Capricorn One. Loved it.
Here's my full review:
I have heard a lot of things about this movie when I was a kid. But only now did I get a chance to watch it.
I have to say I was impressed. I rarely see a movie that combines drama and humor so well. And frankly, I didn't expect a movie from the 1970's to be so well paced. I saw the back of the DVD, it said 123 minutes, frankly I was expecting it to drag on. But to my pleasure, the movie was incredibly well paced and equally entertaining all the way through.
The premise of the movie is that three astronauts who were supposed to be the first men on Mars, are instead taken to a studio and forced to film a fake landing, while NASA sends out an empty rocket ship. But when the ship crashes on its way down, fearing that the government will want to hill the astronauts in order to keep the secret and cover up the affair, the three escape the facility and separate to ensure the chances that one of them will escape. Meanwhile, a nosy reporter is following some leads to uncover the secret from the outside.
The movie is brilliantly written, and like I said, sometimes it was so suspenseful, I was sitting on the edge of my seat and biting my knuckles. Sometimes it was so hilarious, I was in stitches. Sometimes, both. The dialogue is written very well apart from the odd... What I can only perceive as censorship issues where I'm assuming they had to change a few swear words, and instead of rewriting the lines, they simply replaced the words, and made it sound really forced, like, "Go jump yourself." But apart from things like that, the dialogue itself is written very well.
As I've said before, the pacing was very well done. The wind up wasn't too long, and there were a lot of things that had to be covered in the movie, which means they didn't have time to drag out any scene.
The characters are all very well written, have very colorful personalities, and were expressed very well.
All in all, I was very entertained by this movie, that kept me very entertained. And if you feel like watching a movie about a government conspiracy that doesn't involve espionage and secret agents, or if you just feel like watching a very entertaining classic, check out Capricorn One.
