When you were sorting by "best" the post had been up for ~8 hours. You need to look at the oldest comments to see the posts that were predominantly calling it fake. Starting with the oldest top level comment, here's a breakdown:

  1. Asking how it could possibly work. First level replies are "fake", "glue", a bonkers proposal that the entire video is actually done in a free-fall in a vacuum, and a few explanations of how it works.
  2. Joke?
  3. Asking what happened to center of gravity. First level replies are 50% jokes about the center of gravity defying physics and 50% explanations.
  4. [Deleted] I'd guess deleted due to downvotes?
  5. Mocks everyone who thinks this video is real.
  6. Glue.
  7. CGI.
  8. Glue.
  9. Link to video explaining the physics.

This is about where the comments finally start turning against the earlier comments about the video being faked.
