Apollo 18
September. 02,2011 PG-13Officially, Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later in 1973, three American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.

Pretty Good
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I do not know why this got a 5.2. It is not scary at all. The story line is awful. This is another found footage movie. Were they do not think they need a good story line. Or good acting. They just tell you that it is real. And that will scary you. I do not believe there are giant spiders on the moon. And I could like a movie about giant spiders on the moon. If it has good story line and a better ending. The ending to this movie is awful. This is not a 5.2. This is a 1. 5.2 does this mean people are scared by this movie. L.O.L. If you are do not see Plan 9 from outer space it will make you pooh in your pants. But if you really want to see scary movie. Do not see this one. See Predator if you really want to see real scary movie.
Excellent film, one of the best science fiction movies without a big budget. Very well done, set in the time of the Apollo missions, a magnificent subject that leaves open in our minds the mystery of the interruption of the Apollo missions. This is a movie to see more than one time.
Apollo 18 (2011): Dir: Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego / Cast: Warren Christie, Lloyd Owen, Ryan Robbins, Andrew Airlie, Michael Kopsa: This is pretty much as low as a film can get for a horror film payoff. It is a pathetic piece of trash devoid of cinematic value. Warren Christie, Lloyd Owen and Ryan Robbins are shot into space where they find some troublesome rocks that turns into spider like creatures. They discover a Russian spacecraft where tragedy has already struck. And all is left is for these three human targets to get killed. What is truly disturbing here is the ugly visions of the American NASA. In Apollo 13 they did everything possible to bring back three lives that were caught in space. Their loved ones wait patiently in hopes of a safe return and that film delivered triumphantly. Not so in this junk. We have a captain who becomes infected by some creature substance. We have a father and husband who will never see his family again. We have another fellow whose final scenes regard crashing. They are given the "you did a great service for their country" bullshit that would never happen in reality. Only in pathetic space horror films can American government be made more repulsive. Director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego can be credited for taking a relatively low budget and making it look larger than life but its purpose is just a plain stupid excuse for a faulty horror film that contains perhaps the worst ending for any film all year. My recommendation is to watch the wonderful Apollo 13 where the astronauts were cared for, and toss this horror film is a trash compactor. Score: 2 / 10
The movie had potential but the camera work throughout the movie was distracting. I understand that the camera work was on purpose but it was just too much distortion to make it easy to follow. Not the same as the "lost footage" from The Blair Witch Project. The concept was sound, though. With more mainstream camera work it would have been more entertaining. Still, I liked it. The actors certainly held the movie together. Spoiler alert: They did a good job acting the slow deterioration into madness. Aliens, paranoia, and secrets. A cool mix! The idea of the plot taking place on the moon was adhered to throughout the movie. I almost felt claustrophobic watching it!
