Review – Capricorn One

Conspiracy theories and O.J. Simpson? The fun never stops. The premise here is that NASA needs to fake a voyage to Mars, a thinly-veiled presentation of the old faked-moon-landing stuff. Fortunately for our three brave astronaut-heroes-turned-sound-stage-actors, the evil government decides not to kill them right away even after announcing to the world that they’ve been killed in a re-entry accident. The desert chase sequences that ensue are spectacularly dull. This picture gets at least a B for its premise, but the execution is a C- at best. Mildly amusing
