extremely boring...

Found this found footage film on Netflix! As someone who enjoys every found footage film ever made no matter how terrible, I'm always thrilled to find one that isn't.

Good acting and terrific directing (the techniques used and the locations filmed truly gave this an authentic feel) made this one a real find for me. I liked it so much that being the only one who did doesn't bother me in the least.

Waste of time, luckily i "watched" it while i was cleaning the house.


Too many plot holes, for example [spoiler] if they all died, how we are supposed to see the footage? [/spoiler] They had a 1gbit upload live broadcast to the earth for all those HD cameras with fake film grain effect?


Then, the DoD knew the situation from the beginning, yet they didn't tell nothing to the guys? Just for fun? "Let's spend some billions just to see them [spoiler]die in an HD live streaming[/spoiler] "


Cameras: sometimes the same camera has old film effect, sometimes has electronic scanlines. Either is a film camera, either is electronic, it can't be both!


About cameras: multiple security cameras recording 24/7 for a whole week inside the ship. Where is supposed all those hours and hours of footage to be stored? They bring a ton of tape? Also, some security cameras had the old film effect, which is not possible.


In the end, extremely boring, predictable : they should have done a regular movie, not a Blair Witch project wannabe

Dreadfully bad. A found footage format where the movie makers couldn't even be bothered to research the film format of the day and/or vary the effects enough to prevent the digital footage from looking like processed effects.

In other words: color is too perfect. Film lacks grain. The attempt to "switch format" sizes is obnoxious rather than kitschy and genuine.

It's just annoying bad.

I won't even comment on the plot because I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes I was so fed up.

horrible. In my top 3 worst movie list.

claustrofobico e angustiante porem sem ritmo tornando-se monótono.

meh movie at best

Definitely not a keeper... Just didn't do much for me.

This movido sucks

Forgettable.

i think this would've been more enjoyable had it been more believably edited. there were parts that seemed genuinely like decades old found footage but too much of it didnt and that made it impossible to stay fully engrossed in the storyline.

that said i'm all for heinous little spider like aliens because they reinforce my belief that eight legs are Too Many legs.

>"There's just a lot at stake here, you know? We're talkin' nation versus nation, and the race is still on. There's lots to discover out there, man."

I feel like this has the visuals, an interesting premise, and yet, I kept zoning out while watching it. I see a lot of people calling it boring and I have to agree.

"Apollo 18" sets up a found footage premise and then executes it poorly. If I hadn't been so intrigued by the idea of finding something on the Moon, I'd probably have lost patience with it. Turns out, what they find isn't much of a threat as long as we don't go back again, which minimizes the impact to mankind and makes the movie about personal struggles.

The crew are the standard stiff but all-business astronauts and the cast of actors play them appropriately, whether intentional or not. There's nothing extraordinary about the special effects which might be due to the found footage aspect and the fact that the Moon doesn't exactly provide a wide ranging color palette.

There are better options out there if you need a Sci-Fi or Horror fix. Come to think of it, there are actually plenty of better Moon-based movies, too.
