The Alternative Energy Zone has an aluminet FAQ:

which gives their experiences using aluminet on the playa. Some downsides: traps and collects dust; you can sunburn through it; tears easily if snagged on rebar or other sharps.

Is aluminet the same material used for movie shoots to de/reflect light?

I'm sorry to say I have no idea what they use in movies.

Motion picture/still shoots usually use aluminized cloth or mylar reflectors- They're SOLID, and therefore reflect light better, unlike Aluminet which is more of a mesh. Still reflects light, but allows air/moisture through. Less kite action.
