"lost footage", ah...found where?, on the moon? :rolleyes:
Looks like total garbage.

Sad Professor

The Blair Witch Project: still inspiring crap 12 years later.

Looks interesting.

stoneill

A montage of official NASA footage from several Apollo missions interleaved with studio directed footage.
The story is a bit cliché, secret military mission to investigate something or other and then the something or other kills everyone, but could make for an interesting horror/thriller.
Still - it could be an interesting and entertaining film, the details of lunar landing hardware seem very good, it even has the proposed Russian design of lander at about 2mins.

recyclops

My annoyance would be mainly about how they managed to take off a rocket without anyone noticing, big plot gap if ya ask me

Galvasean

Could be a decent premise for a movie without the whole 'lost footage' angle.

Hank Scorpio

think this is hitting the cinemas atm, seen an add for it today. hopefully its decent

Roar

Seems like I missed Apollo 14,15,16 and 17 then, they worth watching?

foxyboxer

Yeah, episode on each of those missions from the mini-series "From the earth to the moon"

I'm a sucker for these movies though. Or a wimp..........No 'sucker' is better. I just prefer the tension in this sort of horror as opposed to the likes of Insidious (which was a pile of crap).

Kind of agree, Paranormal Activity for all it's flaws and gimickery genuinely creeped me out in a way no conventional horror film ever has. Rec too to a lesser extent.

Skinfull

I dont mind found footage movies as long as the footage that was "found" is watchable. Too much shaky cam annoys the crap outta me and my inertia.

This looks fun though, if a little predictable. next week I think when its on general release?

Fysh

It looks shlocky, but it could be fun. The "found footage" thing can be very annoying when done badly, but films like [REC] or The Tunnel show just how effective the technique can be when used well.

Warper

If you like watching 90 mins of absolutely nothing, then this looks the film for you. Even better go watch The Tree of Life, that lasts for 2 1/2 hours.

Peter Walczak

Does anyone know where it's been showing? I'm looking at websites of few cinemas and there is absolutely no mention of that movie being released on Friday... :-/

The Black Oil

It's mentioned on Cineworld's site, though with 'TBC' written next to it. Screenings start at 10:30am.

ArtSmart

Was thinking of going late show tonight.

Anyone seen it yet?

ArtSmart

Seen late showing of this monstrosity. dreadful. utter bollix.

constitutionus

it looks beyond shyte.

but i was kinda hoping that may just be down to sod all money for the marketing.

seems its keeping true to my first impressions.

Midnight_EG

Watched it just now, alright movie for time-wasting to be honest...other than that it's shite

Zombienosh

a bit ****e really, wouldn't be happy paying to see this at all.

Reamer Fanny

This film is pants, but conspiracy theorists will lap it up. At the end your told to visit lunartruth.com but I can't access it, spooky

I am a sucker for these type of movies, but not this one - rubbish!

FreeOSCAR

Saw this the other night in a double bill with Fright Night.

It is absoloute garbage.
Avoid at all costs.

dan1895

Absolute muck. Considered walking out but there wasnt long left so said i'd stick it out. Terrible, predictable and not scary at all.

jumpjack

how much blood and how many badwords are in this movie?
Looking at trailer I guess it's made for children (an horror/sci-fi version of Goonies ? :-) ), but I can't say untill I'll see it.
And "being for children" does not mean "silly" (unless you think ET was silly ;-) )

I'm pretty sure you're talking about Super 8, not Apollo 18.

Right, I had both thread open at same time... :rolleyes:

Ghost Train

Seemed pretty short, look of it was okay but story was never going to great. Two slightly scary scenes if I remember right. Did like one or two aspects of it but overall bit not worth seeing

Helix

awful movie with nothing about it at all

Laserface

film is good for about 30 mins.. but then gets bad quickly.

if they stretched the intro out more it would have been better

Galvasean

Times like this I'm glad I have a Cineworld card so technically did not pay specifically to see this. What a load of dull and uninspired tosh.
Also accompanied by the trailer to Paranormal Activity 3 :rolleyes:

Sasquatch76

Seriously,

fracking moon crabs???

Garbage.

moon crabs that morph into rocks ;-)

Anyone else find it weird how when the guys were messing about outside on the moon gravity seemed to be just like Earth gravity for most of the film?

JennyBurke101

Worst film ever I was so bored ...Like literally I was about to stand up and leave ...there was a really cute old couple eating ice-cream beside me ...so I stayed to watch that heartwarming event ...It had nothing to do with the film what so ever!!!

rain on

I loved it! Seems I'm in quite the minority there though

JennyBurke101

How though...it was so long and drawn out ..they could of made it brilliant a real scary ...heart racing film ...but instead it was pretty meh....

rain on

It wasn't even that long, 86 minutes according to IMDB, I was expecting it to be a good twenty minutes longer. It scared the pants off me in some bits, and the ending made me really sad .. the whole film stayed with me for days. Myself and the OH both really enjoyed it.

JennyBurke101

tut tut I wanted to feel the way you did ...sadly it just wasnt happening for me!!! Glad somebody enjoyed it though ...maybe I will appreciate it more on dvd!!

Cork boy 55

cannot wait for apollo 19

JennyBurke101

Cool follow ups dont have full numbers ...it will be Apollo 18 AND A HALF!

Yeah spotted that. Ruined the feel of the film for me. That and the pace. I would've liked to have seen what resulted when

the infection took over, if he turned.

The biggest plot hole was that it's portrayed as a found footage flick. How the hell did they

find the footage if no one made it back?

Morlar

I thought it was ok, reasonable plot that fit nicely into the 70's conspiracy mood. Also how the plot lined up with several real life facts, e.g, the actual moon rocks that have gone missing all over the planet, the sudden total stop to moon landings etc. Nicely put together 70's style conspiracy sci-fi horror. It's not at the same production levels of something like 'Sunshine' or something like that but it's definitely watchable.

Brendog

The most retarded film I've ever seen!

The aliens attacking the astronauts are moon rocks.

Like the moon landing the footage they filmed would've been streamed live back to earth. Nasa just would've kept the reels.

Just realised they stole it from the 3rd Pirates of the Carribbean. When Jack Sparrow is in davey jones locker, the rocks turn into crabs and carry the black pearl.


2011 has been a terrible year for films

Myrddin

It kills me to bump this, but I simply must vent how bad this film is;

It's a disjointed, hard to watch, & utter mess of a film. Shockingly bad infact, & is a contender for the worst film I've seen in recent times.

texidub

Sheesh. Tough crowd. It wasn't THAT bad. Bit of bias setting in on this thread.

I'm pretty hard to disappoint when it comes to films, & I'll give anything a fair chance provided its the type of film I like.

Actually tbh, usually when people are slating a film it means I'll probably half like it in a weird way...that's how easy going I am judging them.

This film deserves every negative post though, its abysmal, truly abysmal

Rabidlamb

I must have seen a different film to the rest of you, I thought it was fine as far as these found footage films go.
Like the bit where they found the

cosmonaut

, thought they used that bit well.
The moon

rock/crabs

were odd but Star Trek has done worse.

Overall, 6/10.

I should note however that I had just watched Melancholia which had lowered my bar slightly considering I rate it one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Thank F i turned this film off after 25 mins..
Not bothering with any more so called horror films. Think I better off letting the missus choose from now on.
