Secret Space (2005)
1/10
Does it come with tinfoil for your hat?

This is typical conspiracy-theory bullshot that punches all the expected buttons: Illuminati shenanigans, Nazi references, Roswell, flying saucers, bug-eyed aliens, and more. I'm surpised Ickes didn't manage to get chem-trails and "birds aren't real" in there, but maybe he's saving those for later releases. Only the "human civilization living off-world" is even remotely original (especially since the film also claims we never went to the moon!) though no more plausible than the rest. Of course, as recommendations go, "more original delusion" is pretty piss-poor.

Of course there were Nazis were involved in our space program: you had to join the Nazi party to be in rocket research in Germany, and at the end of the war, most of Werner von Braun's team opted to defect to the west rather than be captured by advancing Soviet troops. It was these engineers who formed the backbone of the rocket developments that led to the Saturn V rocket that placed men on the moon. But to suggest anything more nefarious is delusional; Ickes hopes that simply throwing out the word "Nazi" will give his "documentary" some badly-needed credibility. Spoiler: it doesn't.

The remainder of this waste of time is even more completely useless, unless one opts to make a drinking game out of the over-liberal use of the word "secret" (warning: doing so risks the consumption of a fatal amount of alcohol.)

If you're even remotely interested in buying this film, do yourself a favor: spend the money instead to buy more tinfoil for your hats, and spend the time you'll save NOT watching to review your medication list. If you believe any of this crap, you may need to adjust your dosages.
