Apollo 17 was the last U.S.-sponsored lunar voyage -- or was it? Hours of found footage, classified for decades, point to a subsequent moon mission -- Apollo 18 -- that ended very badly. Astronauts John Grey (Ryan Robbins), Nathan Walker (Lloyd Owen) and Benjamin Anderson (Warren Christie), on a mission to install radar scanners, discover a Soviet space capsule nearby. The men also discover a dead cosmonaut, and unfortunately for them, learn how he died.

Critics Consensus

A boring, suspense-free Paranormal Activity rip-off that feels long even at just 90 minutes.

3/5

A simple sci-fi horror with just enough scares to keep you interested.

2.5/5

Apollo 18 is an intriguing, if never enthralling, fusion of period space-flight procedural, conspiracy theory, and monster movie.

1/4

Watching people land on the moon isn't all that interesting or photogenic, especially when we know it's pretend.

2/4

Strong characters and rewarding narratives are rarely developed in “found footage” movies, so when the shocks and gross-out moments occur, the audience can’t be blamed for feeling uninvolved.

3.5/5

I found “Apollo 18” to be a fun little movie that uses and incorporates the found footage style in a slick and fresh fashion. It does have some issues but it also has some great moments wrapped into its tight 88 minute running time.

The only thing worse than an inept filmmaker is a lazy one.

"The Blair Witch Project" meets "Alien" mixture proved to be effectively suspenseful with enough efforts to make this a conspiratorial erasure mostly a satisfying entertainment, especially when taking the found footage genre into the B movie radar. (B) (Full review TBD)

This is blair witch in space. This film is not bad, it is only different from what no brain peoples eat usualy. And it is why they hate it.

Space. The final frontier.

Loved it, a bit nasty and a lovely kind of odd threat... Total dogma. of course nothing for the modern stressed up non stop action junkie. it´takes it slow in an old school way, BUT still... pure action compared to... well, 2001.

I feel like every one had a problem with this movie because they couldn't handle a low budget film, but it's actually really good writing.
