This film is awful. I could only stomach the first 45 minutes of this 2 hour epic. The same information is available in much greater detail on the internet for free, and you get the availability of hearing both sides of the issue.

Not only is the film boring and ridiculously cheesy, but the arguments are weak. At one point, David Percy shows a video from Apollo 16 showing the jump salute. His argument is that a flap hanging loose from the PLSS backpack is visible in the still photos of the event but not in the video. It would be a good argument if the flap wasn't plainly visible in the video. They show the video multiple times and the flap is clearly flopping around during the jump. If you didn't catch it the first time, they give you another chance.

At another point, they reference the "anomalous" shadow directions in the lunar photographs by showing a photograph of a row of trees and their "correctly aligned" shadows. Big honking white lines are drawn on top of the picture to show the shadow angle. Too bad one of the trees directly to the right of the big honking line has a shadow that appears horizontal in comparison to the line and the rest of the shadows. They used a picture showing diverging shadow angles to try and prove that shadow angles do not diverge under a single light source.

Finally (at least to the point that I could handle watching), they show the famous photo of Buzz Aldrin standing next to the leg of the LM. They claim that the center fiducial is significantly below the center of the frame. They also claim that they are using high quality duplicates from the original master prints. They are as bold as to say that the photo must have been manipulated in nefarious ways. They are correct. The photo has been manipulated but it wasn't by NASA. People epxerienced with the Apollo record know that the top of Buzz's PLSS backpack is cut off by the top of the frame in that famous shot, but in their copy they place the top of the frame well above the backpack and to compensate they cut off a similar amount at the bottom to keep the dimensions correct. Percy and his crew either deliberately recropped the photograph themselves or are lying about their source of the photo.

When the makers of this film aren't unintentionally showing us the mistakes in their arguments they are creating the anomalies themselves. They are hacks and this film is the proof.

I don't care what the liar Sibrel says. The verdict is in. You can not refute absolute proof. There are pictures on the moon of 3 lunar landers, three lunar rovers, the American flag and hundreds and hundreds of footprints. These pictures were taken by a Japanese probe with the finest of cameras.
Never mind that there are a MILLION people who had work to do on Apollo.
I think I will announce this on the evening news.
You can find the Japanese pictures on the internet.

WOW!! Do you REALLY THINK THAT A million PEOPLE WORLDWIDE WOULD LIE?
iF SO, you are an idiot.

Junk science in it's most venal incarnation. Do not waste your money, in my opinion this expose only reveals the willingness of the producers to distort the facts for monetary gain. I am convinced the Dr David Groves presented in this video does not actually exist. A seriously flawed film. It might provide a chuckle or two if you are an engineer or scientist, otherwise only of interest to tinfoil hat wearers.

I am an Armature Astronomer and have a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering so I was a little sceptical when I sat down to watch this documentary. I have seen other material debunking NASA Apollo missions to the Moon before, and I was not convinced then. However the evidence presented in this double DVD is of an entirely different order. After having watched all 4 hours (a bit of a challenge, as its quite a low budget DVD, and kind of reminded me of the Open University videos you used to get in the 80's on the BBC) I am now completely convinced that most of the Apollo Moon mission footage (video and photo's) was shot in a very large purpose built studio. I am AMAZED. Once you've seen these DVD's there is no going back, the photo's and video's which NASA say were taken at the same time, clearly are not. They're lying! It boggles the mind. Anyone taking the time to watch these DVD's I believe would have to come to the same conclusion.

Now whether most people can focus for 4 hours, watching this low budget, boring analytical delivery (albeit explosive material) is another question. But, if you can get past the boring delivery and pay attention to the content, this is mind blowing stuff.

There is a lot of content here; covering analysis of... video's, photo's, film studio production techniques, NASA statements, history of rocket development from the 1940's to now (very interesting), effects of solar radiation on human health and photographic film and Van Allen radiation belts.

A must see!

Let's move beyond the rolling Coke bottle B.S., shall we? There are just far, far, too many anomalies uncovered by a variety of researchers to dismiss the fact that the Apollo missions were not what they seemed. Hey, I loved NASA and the whole gang when I was a kid, so reading and seeing things over the years that pointed toward fraud and deception really stung, but I got beyond the rage and the shock. The Van Allen Belts, all the dubious photos exhibiting a variety of issues, the total lack of film fogging, strange comments and actions from many "sponsors" such as Kodak and Omega, the rehearsed videos meant to deceive, the truly bizarre behaviour of the astronauts in subsequent interviews, and on and on. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water here. The Coke bottle and the "flag waving issue" aside, there is a massive deception going on and this video sheds some light on it. Fair enough. Now let's have some intelligent discussion on it.

Many people that review these types of Films....are angry that they exist. Read how they choose words. Harsh to be sure. Facts need to be discussed often and without rage. Many people don't want to believe the unbelievable. But to simply think, observe and pause...a rare trait indeed.

There are too many conflicting facts in the so-called Moon event not to think, observe and pause. One thing for sure. Money went to NASA. And they are trying it again in the next 15 years. Money flows again!

No, I do not believe we went to the moon and came back perfectly 5 times....or how many there were. No, I do not belive Building 7 just happened to be prepared to implode the same day as the big one. No, I do not believe LHO killed JKF. Why?

I think, observe, pause and make my choices....without rage.

This DVD is fantastic. It is based on the book I read. "Dark Mooon". Did these people get $20 billion to write it? No. NASA will surely get triple that their next venture into space.

Let's hear it for those that think, observe, pause and do not rage on others simply because they thought, observed, paused and stated their views.

This DVD is an accompaniment to the book Dark Moon: Apollo And The Whistle-Blowers by Mary Bennett & David S. Percy. The DVD is split into 3 main sections:
1. Deals with the demonstrably false lunar photography.
2. The dangers of space radiation and the lunacy of those who insist that space is a benign environment.
3. The evolution of the rockets involved and the problems encountered - and never solved - during research.

For anyone who doubts there are any major flaws to be found in 1., try this simple test. Go to the Apollo Image Atlas at h[...], select 70mm Hasselblad, Apollo 11, Magazine S, image number AS11-40-5930. At the bottom of the page click on the link to see the Hi Resolution Image(s), then save the image to your PC. Open the image in Windows in Paint Shop Pro or PhotoShop or similar, or open it in Linux with Gimp. Create a negative of the image, then zoom in to the rocks in the right and the left of the image. You will see indisputably, especially clearly in negative as the shadow shows up as stark white, that in the left of the image the shadows are on the right side of the rocks, and on the right side of the image the shadows are indisputably on the left of the rocks. In the foreground they go from south to north. Additionally, there is a very obvious "hot spot" around the astronaut shadow's head, which again can be more clearly seen in negative. This is indicative of multiple light sources, as in a studio set; if the sun is the only source of light then ALL shadows should run parallel and there should be no hotspots.

Another major flaw with the imagery is to be found in the very first magazine from Apollo 11. As you scroll down the images showing the earth getting ever further away, how strange then that the images between AS11-36-5382 & AS11-36-5399 all show bright BLUE light coming through the windows? This is only possible if the craft is in LEO. The list goes on. The DVD lists a large number of related anomalies which show beyond any doubt that the public record of the Apollo missions is not a true and accurate record of those missions.

For those who insist upon perpetrating the idiocy that, as far as radiation goes, space is a benign environment, the DVD also shows that this is sheer lunacy. Again this is laid out in far more detail in the book. NASA has consistently lied about the true state of the radiation belts, including the newly-created artificial belt, that encircle the planet since their own criminal folly in 1962 - exploding nuclear weapons into the belts to try to blast a passage through them during Operations Argus & Starfish Prime - and has even went to the lengths of revising the extent of the Van Allen belts (with no good reason given) to a THIRD of the size established by Dr. James Van Allen in order to minimise the perceived radiation exposure risk to the astronauts. That the Apollo astronauts displayed average daily radiation doserates lower than astronauts on low earth orbit Skylab missions is in and of itself proof that these astronauts did not go through the belts, and deep space, and walk on the moon (the surface of which itself is now thought to be highly radioactive! according to NASA itself), then return through deep space and the radioactive belts again.

The third part of the DVD looks at the development, or, more correctly, the lack of development, of the US rockets and documents the high-level collaboration between the supposedly implacable enemies via the ever-accommodating United Kingdom, often in the shape of Jodrell Bank.

The DVD does not go as far as the book. The central thesis of the book is that we DID go to the moon, just not as described. The DVD does not go into this in any detail, but in its own right it conclusively demonstrates that the public record of the Apollo missions is false. For anyone who insists it is some kind of heresy to make such a suggestion, please explain how it is possible to see shadows from opposite directions when there is supposed to be only one source of light, and also how is it possible to see blue light out of ALL the windows when allegedly halfway to the moon? If you cannot answer these things simply and logically then you need to watch the video.

For anyone who is interested, the book actually suggests, backed up by some very compelling evidence, that there WAS a manned lunar mission. But only one. The authors suggest this was a joint US-Soviet mission with a Soviet Soyuz providing the transport and returning to earth, and with the American astronaut essentially on a suicide mission in his one-man LEM. The Soviet cosmonaut who drove the Soyuz was supposed to be Pavel Ivanovich Belyayev. Note that this very link-up was announced publicly in the late 1960s and was to happen by 1975; the authors merely suggest it happened a few years earlier than the USA & Soviet Union publicly say it did.

A strange tale, that of Pavel Ivanovich Belyayev. According to Wikipedia, Belyayev was selected for the space programme in 1960 after nearly fifteen years' experience in the Soviet air force and navy. He was originally to fly the Vostok 8 mission into Earth's Van Allen radiation belt, but this was cancelled. He died in 1970 from peritonitis that resulted from an operation on a stomach ulcer and is buried in the Novodevichy convent in Moscow.

How strange it is then, when one looks at the grave of Pavel Ivanovich Belyayev, that this man who apparently did nothing at all out of the ordinary has the most splendid grave out of ALL of the cosmonauts in Moscow's most prestigious cemetery, with a magnificent statue evocative of someone who has done something truly special. Also strange is the fact that, contrary to custom he was not cremated but was buried with full honours. And for what exactly was Pavel Belyayev awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union, Order of Lenin, Order of the Red Star, numerous medals and foreign orders for? He also bore the title of the Hero of Socialist Labor of Bulgaria, Hero of Vietnam, and Hero of Mongolia, and had a minor planet, 2030 Belyaev discovered in 1969 by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Chernykh, named after him.

There appears to be no record of the US astronaut who in all probability died on the moon.

To find out the full details and the historical context of all that, read Dark Moon: Apollo & The Whistle-Blowers. To see all the proof you will ever need that the Apollo missions were faked, and badly faked, watch the DVD.

This 5.5 hour video presentation spread out over 2 DVD discs is an absolute must see. It takes the position that the Apollo lunar landings were a hoax, and it backs up its position with massive evidence. To the incredulous, who simply cannot believe that the Apollo moon landings could be hoaxed, I suggest that they watch this video presentation carefully several times. It presents a mountain of evidence to back up its claims, and it is very thorough and scholarly. The first disc, which takes 3 hours, is mostly devoted to photographic evidence. Unless you have a considerable background in photography, you will need to watch it several times. The second disc, which takes 2.5 hours, is devoted to scientific evidence and is much easier for the layman to follow. Go for it!

THE PROBLEM IS THIS: 40+ YEARS (AND MILLIONS OF HOURS) OF MEDIA SAYING THE MOON LANDINGS WERE REAL, AND ONLY A FEW YEARS ARGUING AGAINST THEM.

So everyone coming to this film has had years of being told the official line. That's a lot to compete with and a lot to flush out of the brain.


Just imagine if the USSR (Russia) had carried out the moon landing.
Imagine the dent in US national pride. Well if this film had then come along and accused the USSR of faking the landing.
The US support would have been in the majority - 'of course Russia did not land on the moon' everyone would have chorused.

The problem is that most people see such an historic event, an event that has come to be seen as 'man's' greatest achievement, through political filters.

No if Russia had done it, becuase we don't WANT them to have done,
or YES if the US did it, beacuse we'd WANT that.

Looking at the evidence presented in the films, and looking at the official responses, and debunking, the case for a faked moon landing is over the 1/2 way mark - so its more likely that it was faked than real.

I suggest you watch his films for yourself, and decide for yourself, and try not to let any preconcieved ideas filter what you see.


An interesting fact: When the Soviets managed to build a system that could track rockets from the earth to the moon, the remaining 3 Apollo missions were all suddenley cancelled.

I believed with ALL my mind and soul, we traveled to the moon--that America had done what other countries could NOT do. After watching this video, and going to the respective associated internet site, I now do NOT know what to believe. I'm not saying "we didn't go to the moon" but what I AM saying is "Maybe, we didn't go to the moon in the time frame everybody thought we could." I have a undergraduate degree in Chemistry and a minor in Physics--the video is reviewed by an Optics Professor and "contrary" perspective is given by a Ph.D. in Physics. I believe, sadly, we may have been bluffed. This video is well done, well supported, and is NOT of the quality of the cheaper, "conspiracy-theory" videos that exist. This video IS a class act, well done, well-documented, and well supported by physics and optics. You WILL think twice.
