Let's start with the pros:

The staging of the video is very good -- excellent art direction and
special effects work. The video could be convincing in itself if
viewed without the surrounding fog issuing forth from Merlin
Enterprises (Santilli & Co.).

The cons:

Camera work is inexcusably sloppy -- so bad it's obviously intended to
obscure rather than reveal.

EVERY CLAIM made by the promoters of the AA "film" has vaporized into
the ether -- from the dating of the film to who did the film-to-video
transfer has proved to be a lie. All responses from the Santilli
organization have been either evasions or distortions. To date, the
only truthful statement from Santilli is that he's "only in it for the
money."

My question is: How can *anybody* take these guys seriously?
It's the credibility death penalty, as far as I'm concerned. Caught in
one lie and their credibility is dead forever.

Regards,

Vince
