“Demonstrates that there's still plenty of room left within the found-footage format to craft fresh, high-concept projects.”~Variety

Aroview: Impressively staged mock documentary that goes behind the scenes of one of the great conspiracy myths - that the moon landing was faked for the television cameras. Clearly satirical, it mirthfully deconstructs many of the established details that were captured during the "staging" of the 1968 landmark event.

3 stars (Good Enough) Pretty great period reconstruction for a budget indie film - & check out the POV car chase! But it spends a lot of time getting to where it was obviously going. Matt Johnson's performance is delightful. ~Toby Dammit

0 star (Not rated) Not so impressively staged mock documentary... I guess I was hoping for something a bit more believable. Now we have "Alternative truth", I wanted to come away thinking "Yip, quite possible", instead I thought, "That was a bit silly" ~rat1512
