Capricorn One

Dewey

Has anyone seen this film. Its brilliant, it was made in 1975 and i was wondering if its on DVD??

Elliott Gould is in it and its a great film about a Mission To Mars that the USA is doing but its all a hoax and Elliott Gould is a reporter who knows something isnt right.

Amazon is your friend. So is Google.

1978 it was released. Saw it many years back, a great concept for a film but it became kinda formulaic after a while as it turned into a chase thriller. If I remember rightly they forgot to take account of the time delay (if they had been on Mars it would take 20 mins for the signal to get back to earth so no chance of a quick chat!)

It was on ITV last Saturday night so I watched it. Hadn't seen it in quite a few years so I'd forgotten the ending. Which is just as well because the ending feels cut off. I like the premise, hell I love the premise but just like Wag The Dog, the execution isn't as good as it might be. And then there's the ending...

At least the Juice doesn't get many lines and it's a better movie for it. Gould is good but he's playing that crinkly forehead slightly annoyed in a curious way guy he's best at. Despite my misgivings, it's well-worth watching at least once. I've probably seen it three times and I'll watch it again in about a decade (which in itself must mean I think it's better than 90% of the fodder out there)

Great concept for a movie though. Sellable. Just like Wag The Dog. I tend to like high concept movies if done even reasonably well even if as a rule they tend to be no-brainer A-list actor with vague personal problems solving a big problem movies with the usual chick or family subplot in the background (oddly enough Capricorn One is one of the few that doesn't fall into this box).

I saw it last Saturday night for the first time (I'm only 16 - and all my Saturday night friends were at oxegen - boo hoo hoo). Anyway, I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed it - great movie, and it seems to be enduring the test of time admirably enough...

Funnily enough, I went on Amazon later that night with a view to buying it . It now resides in my shopping cart ... as soon as I have enough money, I'm gonna buy a lot of these movies!
