For 5 years I lived in Daytona Beach getting my Aerospace Engineering degree. The shuttle was clearly visible and audible from far away and the Saturn V rockets dwarfed the shuttle. Then there were the thousands of people involved with every launch. No way one could be done in secret.

Repeat after me:

It is only a movie - It is only a movie - It is only a movie.

And I'm pretty sure all gouverments do shit most people do not know about. A 1000 people knowing is nothing compared to the millions who live in one country. But there goes the ol' conspiricy theory again hehehe

I think the thing they say about the story is pretty cool (I'm sorry I don't know how this thing is called in english)
"The reason we never went back"

And yes it is Blair Witch and yes that idea has unfortunatly been beaten to death but can't we say that about every movie? From musical to western even
This is just another "let's try to scare people" movie, but I still think the setting and idea for the movie is cool.
I will not go watch it in the cinema because I think the handycam-movie just does not work on the big screen. I found The Blair Witch much scarier on normal TV then on the big screen. It gave a much "realer" feel to it because you watch handycam videos on a small screen.
