Don't believe a word of it.
I don't.
The premise is that we went to the moon, but in order to protect the technology, NASA asked Kubrick to stage fake moon landings. In exchange Kubrick would be able to make any movie he ever wanted to make.
It's hogwash of course. There is no real evidence. Its all speculation. On the other hand it's an intriguing premise.
The first half of the film is a weak attempt at saying that what we saw on the moon landing was faked because it mirrors the rear screening work in 2001. I don't see what they're getting at since it all seems random. I was ready to hang it up but then the second half kicked in and I was greatly amused.
The second half of the film purports to show that Kubrick laid out all hidden messages in the Shining that reveal he faked the moon landing. Its a head trip. It sounds great...the trouble is the links are so esoteric that there is no way that anyone is going to get all of the connections... or even one of the connections.
I don't believe a word of it...on the other hand it amused me to no end. I was so amused I handed it off to a couple of friends who were equally amused and appalled.
As a goof the film is worth it. On the other hand don't believe a word of it because short of some evidence, real evidence, this is just a glorified party game. That said I can't wait for the sequel which may go into the possible murder of Kubrick for revealing a murder of someone who knew too much in Eyes Wide Shut.
