Review of Capsule

Capsule (2015)
7/10
An Alternative Space History Tale of the Cold War
10 March 2017
I had a hard time tracking this movie down: it didn't get a theater release in the New York area as far as I know. I finally saw it on cable. It's hard to sell to most people a movie that has only one actor on-screen for probably 75% of the movie. That said, Edmund Kingsley does a yeoman job of keeping it interesting. I don't want to get into spoilers here: I will as I always advise that viewers actually WATCH THE MOVIE since there are nuances and mentions that require you to think that may otherwise be missed. There is also a running joke regarding the phrase "cutting edge British technology" which is risible to anyone who has experienced British cars and motorcycles of the period. The technology referenced in the movie is all appropriate and mostly correct, and the story is a good one with real-world roots. I like space movies and I liked this one. But if you're looking for a Michael Bay feature, go elsewhere.
