Wordiezett So much average

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

benjaminburt This is quite the film. If you, too, are fascinated with the Shining, and you want to hear extreme fans talk about their extreme fan theories, this is the movie for you. It's important to note that this film never claims to be the definitive interpretation of the Shining, but rather observations and personal interpretations. Some of my favorite observations include: The Shining is about the story of the Minotaur; The Shining is the foil of 2001: a Space Odyssey; and Kubrick was confessing he was involved in faking the moon landing footage. This final claim was backed up by the idea that the room number, 237, was chosen because the moon is 237,000 miles from the Earth (even though the real value is closer to 239,000). In the door to Room 237, there is a key that has a little flap with the words Room No. 237. The commentator stated that the only words that could be made using those same letters are Moon and Room, indicating a confession that Kubrick was involved in faking the footage. I suppose the commentator forgot the words or, on, moo, nor, mono, norm, morn, moor, or moron. So, take this film with a grain of salt (or several). If you're looking for "The Shining: explained," you're going to be woefully disappointed. If you're looking for a couple of fan theories that will tickle your brain and that you can kind of chuckle at, or if you're looking to make fun of fan obsession, there's something in this film for you. If you really want to learn more about The Shining, you can look up information on Youtube, or watch the film again and analyze it yourself!

keelhaul-80856 This was OK, but I had hoped for more. Perhaps because this is a more highly-known production on apps like hulu or netflix, they couldn't delve into as much.There are actually WAY better docs. on the moon-landing theory of the Shining on YOUTUBE!!! I have seen a couple of them that are quite long, but very interesting. When I first saw these, I thought like many people, "Oh man, what a bunch of nutty conspiracy crap. This is going to be stupid or hilarious." However, after a deep study of this film and of the moon landings, I am still questioning some things. The documentary I saw on Youtube brought up literally dozens of bizarre references to the Apollo mission and other cues that something was being conveyed subconsciously and directly about the faking of everything you watch on screen. I really don't know what to believe. 237 was mediocre, but other documentaries have actually heightened my curiosity about the moon landings. Another very possible theory is that, even if the initial moon trip wasn't faked, the govt. may have asked guys like Kubrick to film and photograph some faked sets for later photos and material, that would actually be exciting and viewable/audible for American audiences. His shots in 1969's Space Odyssey look absolutely incredible. It is hard to believe that they were shot in the 60s. I mean really awesome for the time period, shot on 70 mm film. It makes me wonder if the govt. WOULD INDEED go to a guy like Kubrick for help in some propaganda, technology, or news pieces they wanted done professionally. Who knows????It is very bizarre that the meticulous director would place so many references to the moon and the space program in a horror movie about a dude killing his family in a hotel. I mean, very strange. Every thing Kubrick did had a purpose, down to the last background and detail. Food for thought. Also, Kubrick died just as he was finishing Eyes Wide Shut, which was clearly a look at occult sex rings of the elite, similar to Rothschild mansion sex and masquerade affairs as photographed in the 70s. His films dealt with a lot of shady and occult or futuristic themes, and themes of the development and control of mankind. Nothing would surprise me at this point, so I remain open-minded and continue to research everything.Again, go check out some other works by Kubrick, and the Youtube specials on this theory, and you will get even more details than the 237 story.

qmtv Interesting for people obsessed with The Shining.Some of the theories are interesting. Others are a bit or completely far-fetched. Worth checking out for people studying the film and Kubrick's style of film making.Rating is a C or 6 stars.

lorcan-61881 Room 237 is not a horror film nor a film,it's a documentary about the millions of theory's in the horror film The Shining because when it was released,Kubrick left millions of scenes unexplained well now a bunch of fans tell there theory's about the film if it was about the moon landing,Indian burial ground's or something more fascinating..I watched this film only in April and when I watched it,it was so good and fascinating. People telling us loads of facts we didn't see in this masterpiece of a film like did Kubrick only make this to tell that the moon landing was not real. WHAT WAS IT ABOUT!!!. There were a lot of things in this documentary that left us shocked and confused..what was the shining really about.Please watch this film because if you love documentaries you'll love this mind blowing masterpiece!!
