Reviews

xplaneten Before I write my review I suggest you ignore the folks that take the movie too personal. Their feelings just got hurt.The movie started out setting up an exciting story which kept me interested throughout. It had its climax but in my opinion it left the end a bit too open for my taste. Would've loved to see more questions answered. Script was OK and quite consistent, the found footage perspective suited the movie with the 60s camera effect and the occasional black and white also adding to it. Overall an exciting movie about a topic in human history which we all are opinionated about. Can't think of any recent movies about the moon landing so that's definitely a plus. Definitely worth the watch.
carlson_7 This film is exactly what I thought of the moon landing when I saw it on TV while at camp on the dining room TV.I thought it was a hoax and still do for there were no surprises.I was also once in a very primitive television studio at university.I was amazed how reality can be changed with unsophisticated equipment.
WatchedAllMovies To be honest I am only reviewing the first ten minutes of the movie, because I couldn't stand watching it after ten minutes.It's really a pity. After I read the introduction on the back cover of the DVD, I was really intrigued and wanted to watch it.Unfortunately the movie is low budget and poorly edited. The camera is shaky. It's not that costly to get a steadycam to stablize the camera. I don't know about you, but it's painful to watch a shaky movie. They may have thought that since some shaky movies were successful, let's save some money and hire a cheap cameraman and editor. But the novelty has worn out for me.If they have a good story, then somebody please re-make it into a higher quality movie. Otherwise it's like cooking up a good dish and then pour hot pepper into it to make it "better" and end up making it unedible.
EvilDeadChainsaws Just seen this, and reading some of the poor reviews the film is getting here on IMDb, I just had to chip in.I've seen my fair share of 'found footage' films, and many are indeed quite horrendous. Most feel the need to really push the 'found footage' angle by waving the camera around to sell the hand-held aspect, which just tends to lead to motion sickness on my part. This is far more subtle, while believably conveying the director's intent. I think this film is a well thought out and decently executed picture with much to recommend. For the most part, the stock footage and new footage blend pretty well, as do the period set pieces.As an amateur film-maker myself, I know how much of a slog it is to get a low budget picture made, and it's very easy to casually criticize someone else's work. No, it's not a nicely edited package running from start to finish, with all the questions answered by the end, and I never assumed it was meant to be.As a side note, I work at Shepperton Film Studios, featured briefly here. It was interesting to note that beyond not showing any cars, the studios you see here, looks identcial in real life today. Knowing how busy the studios is, and the low-budget nature of the production, I'm assuming they were very limited in what they could do, and couldn't really make any period specific changes.If you liked 'Apollo 18', or the documentary 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', you'll likely get something from this film too.Top work!
