Annoying lead geek actor and people are too hyper active even for 1960s


did you find the lead actor annoying? his face expressions. whenever the dork looked to camera in amazement, i could just slap him, it was so irritating :D

and the rest of crew - they are way too hasty, always jumping around, talkative - as i see in movies and media, people in 1960s were not like that, people back then were more reserved, slow and more silent than in this movie.
why look at the tape when oswald was shot, people around him didn't react with drama queen reactions, not much in shock at all. ok, that may be because secret police knew it will happen but still... :D

and people back then didn't swear that much - it happened after vietnam war, along with cursing ban when it was lifted in movies.

so the movie showed fake moon landing and movie itself was a fake 1960s
:D

Agree totally. Could not finish the movie, is he the director ? Would not be surprised, he was in every shot.

I agree, th lead guy was annoying as hell, and yes the level of excitability doesn't fit the times. Back then people in general were much more reserved even when excited or anxious, lol. He was acting like a typical present-day guy. Very modern behavior.

I found him annoying in the very beginning mostly. Kinda grew on me, though your observations are correct, I just didn't find it to deter my enjoyment that much. I expected this movie to suck, but it was pretty good and the retro effects were pretty good overall. A bit like MoonFakers but less slapstick.
