andrewcaniglia This movie is the best hybrid of Alien and the Blair Witch Project anyone could possibly imagine. Wow. It really says something that every critic panned it. I do not have bad taste, allow me to explain.This movie has a perfect runtime for a horror film: 1 hour and 15 minutes. That is really all it needs to give us a movie that has a great beginning, middle and end. Not a second is wasted.I can't believe some people say this movie is boring, because this movie would've been special even without the monsters. Just the whole concept of going to the moon on a secret mission is riveting. The setting sets it way apart from all the lost footage films that take place in the woods, or somebody's home. I'd say pacing wise it is way better than paranormal activity. While that movie dragged on, this movie gets right to the point. You don't have to wait till the end for scares. It also had a pretty great ending. For a low budget horror film, it delivers the goods and on a grander scale than most other offerings. This movie deserves so much more praise than it gets. You will not get disappointed from watching it.

jacobjohntaylor1 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.

Jordan_Haelend I don't know what to make of this film, except to say that it may be the silliest excuse for a sci-fiction/horror movie ever cobbled together. I got the feeling while I was watching it that the flick was made solely as a vehicle to showcase the three leads, and nothing else. In truth, I have never seen these guys in anything before.The film is a hash-fest of mistakes and blunders. I can't understand how they could make this, a science fiction movie, and yet do so little research so that they could get things right. The Apollo Program information isn't exactly classified.And then we get to the monsters: giant, anaerobic spiders with the ability to morph themselves into rocks, even though there isn't any evolutionary reason for them to possess this ability. They're just there, and that's that. I think it would fairly easy to create a much better monster.And then there is the fact that the spiders tore the Russian flag to bits, and later did the same to the U.S. flag. What, are the Moon creatures fascists who hate both nations?

gpeltz Apollo 18 (2011) Directed by Gonzalo Lopez Gallego, and written by Brian Miller, Is a clever concept, A mocumentary about the last unreported Lunar landing. Spoiler Alert ahead, I Intend to talk about the film, What I liked; It very much captured the technology of the period, the film ratio was pure period nostalgia. Did we detect Super 8 on some of the home movies? Nice attention to detail. All the footage at the start mimicked the images we recall, they were uncannily set up in the studio, so as to intimate that the original footage we recall, might have thus been staged as well, but I digress.No, there is a far more sinister plot about, The movie goes to great length to introduce us to the three Astronauts chosen for this top secret mission, Warren Christie, Lloyd Owen and Ryan Robbins play Ben, Nate and John. Good old, all American Team players. Ben and Nate would land on the Moon, and John would orbit in the return module. By the time we get to the first, "Wawazat?" The movie was already in decline.OK, there was some degree of originality in the nature of the threat. Here's that spoiler alert, Keyword; Moonrocks. A mineral,slash Biological organism that wants the moon for its own. For an alien race, it seemed to understand human biology, enough to invade and infect a person, Ben is infected, Nate won't abandon him. It's all a DOD cover up. And now we know why we don;t go to the Moon anymore.Worse yet, there may be many of these phony Rock impersonators running amok down here on Mother Earth. Downside of this movie; Standard Sci fi cliché's take one; Electronic surveillance cameras will go all static rather then reveal the monsters appearance.In truth, the monster here never fully reveals itself nor it's motive; Sometimes its just a pointy rock, other times it seems like a biological parasite, and to top off the confusion, It leaves rather odd looking footprints. So how does this film rate, Fair to average, a clever idea pushed further than they knew what to do with. Seven out of Ten "Moonrock" stones, I mean Stars.
