Not the movie I was hoping fro, but still looks interesting.
by Playkins
Damn, hoping more for some big "secret on the moon" cerebral sort of thing , this kinda just looks like the old "paranoia-in-space" sub-genre. Looks intriguing nonetheless.
-
I couldn't even make it through the trailer. So very very dumb.
-
Why do they keep making this garbage? I feel like I've seen this movie already. Next.

This looks effing GODAWFUL, like Moon for idiots who liked Paranormal Activity
by golden tribw
Yes, idiots who liked Paranormal Activity, like AICN's Capone, who gave it a glowing review and then when it sucked more balls than Elton John temporarily inhabiting the body of Zac Efron he actually had the nerve, no the utterly offensive arrogance, to accuse those same people of, QUOTE, 'buying into the hype!' What an embarrassment to your site! Anyway, this movie looks like shit. Somebody saw the Transformers 3 movie and MOON (which was great!) and then decided that because they were a big fan of Paranormal Activity -- and hey, THAT was made by some average joe moron for 500 bucks, right?? -- they'd whip up their own derivative crapfest in 24 hours!! And here we go!! This movie can piss off.
-
in space maybe? Or is it gonna turn out to be some sort of malevolent virus that can somehow cllimb into yer helmet and make ya crazy? either way seems kinda ...meh
-
... because for 30 seconds I almost thought this was an accidental repost of that
-
Will I be able to follow this movie, or will it be too confusing?

Something grabbed ahold of my hand, I didn’t know what had my hand
by Keats
but that’s when all my troubles began.
-
Isn’t it really a preview?
-
they used to come after the movie
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_%28film%29
-
i hope theres a giant golf ball there
-
substitute Black Bolt's face for the robot and you have your Inhumans movie.
-
I believe the footage is real...NASA coverup...aliens do exist
-
Thanks. Maybe the term should be updated, then?
-
...genre as far as setting goes. The story beats and pacing look to be very familiar though. I hope they can mix it up enough to make it feel fresh. A clever idea alone isn't enough.
-
Maybe I'll watch it on DVD
-
Looks weak.
-
Deeply silly.
-
New Radiohead? Is it on Deadairspace?
-
Yeah, I agree that it's not the movie I was hoping for. I think I was looking for a more traditional creepy as fuck grey alien skulking around as opposed to a Star Trek TNG infectious alien organism type thing.
-
You can't explain that?
-
Did they even study the Nasa films. They're supposed to hop a lot on the moon and move slower. The film Moon got it wrong too. That makes me despise the movie and I boycott it.
-
i'm drunk
-
Interesting plot...but a quieter more professional film directed by a worthy filmmaker could probably have made a masterpiece out of this mediocrity.
-
Like others here I wanted something slower and creepier rather than "oh shit it's coming!" With that said, I like how they use a 4:3 aspect ratio. I eat found footage films for dinner and I expect I'll see this one.
-
Paranormal Activity in space with alien spiders instead of following demons. Could be good, but that trailer... They took what sounded like an awesome concept and turned it into the most generic haunted house film they possibly could. *sigh*
-
Its this kind of shit that makes potentially cool sci fi films get trashed. Danny Boyles Sunshine comes to mind. Or some of the Mars flicks... Why the bugs and or evil aliens bs... why not make it more a mystery of modern mythos of ancient civilisations or some such... Wouldnt it be cool if the moon had evidence not just of one past terrestrial civilisation but many? Spanning millions nof years? Different species? Maybe some interacted or co existed? And maybe one or more are still around keeping an eye on us? And maybe the watchers themselves are being watched? No, its gotta be another bughunt... how do I get me out of this chicken outfit...

Goddammit I was really hoping it would be RUSSIANS they find on the moon
by zillabeast
That woulda been boss
-
I'd watch it.
-
Do you want to install/update this thing that takes over your PC's media preferences and you can never fully install? Yes/No/Aw Fuck Me I'll Wait For Youtube!
-
Did I imagine it or did I see a quick shot of the moon lander the Russians planned on sending before too many setbacks and fatalities forced them to give up on the moon? That's an interesting twist if so.
-
http://ironsky.net/ This thing looks epic as hell.
-
Yeah, I think that is the Russian lander at 2:08 into the trailer. Cool.
-
While a spoiler the movie can have potentially lots to make up for it... that is if it doesnt waste 60-80% of screen time in bughunt\survival action. If I wanted that Id rewatch the awesome Aliens which I do regularly. Sadly Ap18 seems to be the case. x-P~
-
Just...not the baddies. Maybe they're responsible for unleashing the baddies.
-
apollo 17 crew had a party up there but apparently there was no atmosphere!

watch the new INSIDIOUS trailer now if you are DONE with lost footage style horror
by TaLoNe
Sorry fellas, but I'm completely DONE with mockumentary found footage style horror. It's in overkill mode now. I'm shocked AICN has not posted the new trailer for INSIDIOUS. Look it up on youtube. Now that looks like a real return to a actual horror movie without the found footage element...Check it out!!!!

I wanna check out Radiohead...what album should I start with?
by 3D-Man
Oh, and the trailer was disappointing. But I still wanna see the film.
-
That Face Hugger looking thing??? WTF? So the Moon has nasty life on it or the russians bought it along??
-
Planet Houston's in some deep shit now.
-
That's a tough question man. Start with Ok Computer and Kid A. If you like both of those you're a Radiohead fan. If you like more alt rock then check out The Bends before you give up on them. From there go to In Rainbows, Hail to the Thief, then Insomniac for Kid A V-2.0
-
I wrote this entire story a year and a half ago-- didn't try to publish it but idea was there-- why we stopped going, it's been 30 years and it's odd etc.. why stop technology that was going great etc... and then we find out why..... and it was that the last mission to Moon we found something that made us never go back !!!!! and it was dangerous life, etc...

Did anyone else feel like they saw the whole movie in that 2 minute trailer?
by RedBull_Werewolf
Like seriously a more elusive marketingcampaign is what a movie like this needs, that trailer just gave me all i needed to see and now i don't have to see the film
-
...that the astronauts seem to be treating this as any other Apollo mission. That can't be the case, because they would have to know that it was an entirely covert mission from the start since even the launch was secret. So I don't understand why the trailer seems to show them minding their own business before being ambushed by someone and attacked by space bugs.
-
No, it's a bug. And it's in my suit! AAAGH moon bugs!
-

3d-man: Get The Bends first, to ease into it, then OK Computer, then Kid A.

The rest of their albums are not as good as those three.

i still like the "found footage" films when they're done well...
by soup74
but that trailer kinda made "apollo 18" looks like it fits in the lame column with "paranormal activity" now, "The Troll Hunter".. thats a fun little found footage film, well worth your time.
-
The Blair Witch Paranormal trip to the Moon Alice......meh..
-
Yeah I know dude, but it's a sneaky bastard. It inevitably finds a way to mess something up down the line. I've just kept it off this PC.
-
Dumb dumb dumb.
-
or a piece of the SONY SPACE STATION

-- The Cars just put out a new single!

between Superman and Nuclear Man. That was the shit. So realistic. jk

Darnit, I was hoping this was a film adaptation of the TMBG album.
by Rob
The Fingertips scene would have been epic.
-
As for Radiohead, All you need is The Bends, OK Computer, and Kid A, and Amnesiac. The other albums' contents are half great/half mediocre. (ie, Pablo Honey, Hail To The Thief, In Rainbows, and the brand new one, The King Of Limbs Already downloaded The King Of Limbs, and listened 4 times start to finish. It's just okay. Trying to absorb it, but it's a little bit underwhelming.
-
How knew making this trailer would be such a bad idea. It looks so bad you could not pay ME to see it........ever!!!

Look how easy it is to fake being on the moon
by TheNipplesofGodReturns
Makes me wonder if we really went at all
-
Use the word derivative, when describing a movie you don't like. Wanna know how to sound like a snobby asshole? Call people you don't know pretentious. There I got it out of the way, but seriously it's not easy to use that word without sounding like someone trying to sound smarter than he is. also found footage movies, not the best, maybe If it wasn't just" something out there is doing something, better believe me, cause I can't get it on camera for some reason."
-
I hate it when they stray too far from the source material. Squid NASA rocket that looks like Sperm Whale as Lunar Lander escapes. It isn't that hard.
-
I find it difficult to feel any kind of buy-in for this movie and i think the reason is that had there been an Appolo 18 every fucker on the planet would have known about it at least before it got into trouble. This film starts from a premise that they would have hidden the existence of an 18th mission which doesn't fit unless I suppose the story will suggest that NASA secretly found a signal and launched 18 out of everyones site. If so OK but its not exactly an original idea and I agree that its paranormal activity on the moon. Not only that but Transformers: Dark of the Moon has a similar premise really tho with A11 not 18 and with Robots..
-
What an awful trailer, the guy's that made it have probably just cost APOLLO 18 a few million in lost ticket sales.<p> It's too long. It shows way too much of the movie (in a chronological way which makes you feel like you've seen the whole thing in abridged form). And it contains some big spoilers, like the Russian moon lander.<p> Imagine how much cooler an impressionistic trailer for this might have seemed. At half the length with some Pink Floyd playing over the top.<p> They blew it... as others have said this trailer makes the movie look like straight to DVD cobblers.
-
Is this the contest to be the most outspoken hater of a film? Seems so.. You saw 2 mins of a 90+ min film, sure the trailer wasn't overly brilliant but it gave you an idea of what its about. Quite how from 2 mins you can call the film a steaming pile of shit I have no idea. Unless you have the ability to time travel then unless you want to sound stupid then judge just the trailer and not the unseen final product.
-
God damnit. Why can't this fucking worthless shit die already? I want crisp, clear high definition footage when i watch movies not this low budged shit.
-
When the chief selling point of your film is 'mystery' don't show the whole fucking film in the trailer!! Idiots. The audience sure as fuck aint turning up for the 'big name' stars or the amazing fx cos you couldnt afford any.<p> And the whole, 'alien insect body-snatches man' is so played out. Fuck, Dr McCoy got body snatched at least four times in the original Star Trek tv series.

The concept grabbed my attention. The trailer convinced me not to care.
by Missing Dink
That's all.
-
I do not care for this lame "oh no an infectious organism turns people into murderous zombies" bullshit. It's boring. This needed to be done as a proper monster movie, but I guess they didn't have the budget for that.
-
It's appalling the shitheads who made this were funded. Hollywood is off its meds.
-
I think these found footage movies have a place in modern cinema. They make two or three every year, I enjoy at least one of them. Yeah I know it requiers the viewer to "play pretend" but I enjoy that. REC and Cloverfield were aces. Here, the conspiracy angle and the russian moonlander makes me hopeful that this is just misrepresented. But if it's paced like Blair Witch and Paranormal activity, then fuck this movie. I'll wait for the revies. Also: I don't really get the love for Moon. Tremendous acting, but to mention it in the same sentence as 2001 is batshit insane. If you don't care about the science of spaceflight i see how you can find 2001 boring, it spends a lot of time flashing out the details and does it in really wonderful way. In Moon fuck all happens and the science is all wrong. Yeah it's nice to have a thinking man's science fiction again, without explosions and CGI aliens, but it's only a pretty a good Outer Limits episode. It's good for a watch but not a great film. Now if they finally decided to make Ringworld - a thinking man's science fiction with cool ass visuals and crazy adventures... I think it could make Avatar numbers...
-
At least from the trailer, it looks like a pretty low-budget effort with some hammy acting. I was rather hoping it'd be something else. I'm also not sure that the "found footage" works for something like this. The genre is feeling very tired, and this seems a stretch.
-
is how the pitch to the studio went. This looks like all colours and flavours of shit rolled into 90 minutes. There is no chance of me forking out money to watch this dross.
-
I hope the aliens are not depicted rubbish , i want a decent film that depicts alien GREYS! Id love to see a dark r-rated film of men in black
-
...so stupid, I hope it BOMBS so hard, the roof flies off DIMENSION'S marketing department.
-
Quit being a sucker. You know this movie is going to suck, the trailer pretty much laid this out for you. You know it just like the rest of us. It's pretty easy now a days to see when a movie is going to suck based off the trailers alone. I'd go far as to say AICN talkbackers are right 9 times out of 10 when judging a movie by its trailer alone. Join the crowd and do some hatin'!
-
Not having it. We should hang our heads in shame that we never did go back if only because it enabled this schlock to get made.
-
Remember that bit in Signs where the alien is on that camera footage and everyone shits themselves? That's the kind of thing this movie needs. This movie looks like an X-Files pre-credits scene.
-
my liege, remember that bit in SIGNS when M Knight Shymalan cast himself as a good ol' boy farmer wearing a check shirt.<p> Yup, it kinda stood out didn't it.
-
casted himself as a doctor. Do your research before you post.
-
um.. M Knight cast himself as a doctor in SIXTH SENSE. In SIGNS he was just some random farmer guy who ran over Mel Gibson's wife*.<p> *later discovered to be a hit organised by Gibson himself to stop the bitch from releasing taped 'oven dodger' conversations.
-
Bruce Campbell and Walter Koenig at least know they're in a bad movie
-
So if it's a movie made with found footage, then it means that there was a Apollo 19 then? Or who else found that footage ON THE MOON?? Unless of course, they manage to leave the moon and get back to Earth... So many unanswered questions in that trailer!! Gahhh I will have to see the movie to know the answer...
-
Wrong again. DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH. He was a doctor, but Mel Gibsons character would call him about the animals.
-
No. FUCKING. Thank you.
-
And if this footage was on the moon and we never went back how was it 'found'? Looks pretty bad. I saw 'P.A.' at home and thought it was a nice little scary story. Clever and pretty well done. Certainly worth 90 minutes of my time.
-
Excellent (and hilarious) point devilman. "Apollo 19" would be a pretty hard sell if the public had no idea about the catasrophic Apollo 18 mission. I'm now genuinely curious to see who found this footage.
-
The moon simply makes them crazy; one is doing it to the other secretly and then by the end not secretly. Ho, hum.
-
Nothing is worse than applying the label 'derivative' to a movie you don't like, you say. What about those times when YOU DISLIKE A MOVIE BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING DERIVATIVE, YOU UTTER IDIOT???
-
...boring that trailer was. Can't imagine sitting through 90 minutes of that shit.

Supposedly, Neil Armstrong...
by HarryKnowlesNonExistentInceptionReview
...who, rumor has it saw some very strange and huge alien devices on the moon, told a reporter that we "were warned off" the moon and after that, "there were no more plans for a moon base" and the subsequent Apollo missions became just grab-some-rocks-and-go missions.

Like new season of Survivor: good premise, poor execution
by Stormwatcher
I went into Survivor thinking, they won't tell anyone about redemption, and then when the merge happens its all the voted out players in one tribe vs the others...now that would be badass...... just like this movie, great idea, and now it sucks.
-
..even if the initial comments on a talkback dismiss it, but on this occasion I think the general vibe is right - this looks shit. Genre has been done to death now - so I`d expect Hollywood never to visit it again... right?
-
said there were giant menacing starships, a mining operation and more on the dark side. He said they were warned off the moon and after that there was no question of building a base or lunar city. That's what the first man who landed on the moon said in an interview. Look it the fuck up. Also NASA found tons of shit like a lunar facility with glowing domes and city structures that all have names assigned them by NASA -and went before congress with it only to have all relevant evidence disappear during the hearing. Look it the fuck up. Also Russian scientists and high level NASA techs that have come forward confirm Armstrong. The ruskies recorded all the communications too. So basically when you read up on who is saying these things- they're all people who invented the systems to control automated flights to the moon and shit. People with pedigrees
-
And requires a HUGE suspension of disbelief. That said, it could be cool, but the idea of an Apollo mission being a front to discover Transformers on the dark side of the moon is much much more believable.

How in the Hell are they gonna spread this out for 2 hours?
by Coughlins Laws
With only two guys and the restrictions of space suits and the rovers, it seems like this whole movie should only be 20 minutes...
-
Make a better movie. Seriously. The found footage genre is the least expensive film genre. Paranormal Activity was made for only $11000. I'm no math whiz,but that means 20 Talkbackers would only to have to pony up $550 each. Take a Flip cam, a few weekends, and voila! Movie magic. On every Talk Back there are an endless stream of rants on how it's done wrong. Well, I'd like to see what the collective minds here would do. Really, it would be an interesting experiment.
-
and fuck that quicktime site, it never fucking works. as if that trailer is worth seeing in hd, anyway.
-
v3d, nice 'challenge' I think what most of us are reacting to at this stage is how bad the 'trailer' is, not necessarily how bad the movie is.<p> If the challenge were to cut a better trailer, and I had access to all footage from the movie, then yes - I believe without a shadow of a doubt that I could do that.<p> I'd use the 'Great Gig In The Sky' music from Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and play up the mystery of the premise in a 90 second 'mood piece'.<p> Also funny to see the talkback so unanimous in negative opinion - the one guy that says he 'really liked' it is Nordling the guy that posted the article! And he's the one we trust for our movie reviews? Hhahahahhaha!!
-
Nordling, nobody cares what music you listen to. Nobody.

v3d, that's such a cop-out. The whole, "If you haven't done it yourself,
by Coughlins Laws
you can't criticize" yarn is REALLY old and tired. Look, I'm free to criticize anything I want. They want MY money. I don't like the look of this, the premise, OR the actors. I don't have to be in the movie business to tell you that. I don't have to a serial killer to say that the BTK killer became too cocky and his arrogance got him caught. I could've done better (i.e.-not gotten caught). It's a stupid tactic designed to shut down debate. I don't think the guy from RedLetterMedia can be a successful movie maker (outside his funny reviews) but that doesn't mean I don't think he's got a lot of valid critiques of the prequels. Also, if you're gonna go down the road you're trying to go, you can apply to ANY criticism. I don't have to be able to raise a $1 billion to run for President to tell you I don't like alot of Barack Obama's agenda. I don't have to have been a soldier to tell you I don't like how the last 2 President's have treated the Afghan war. I don't have to be a deepsea fisherman to tell you I don't like tunafish. Anyone has the right to criticize anyone else for any reason. We can then apply the weight we want to to their opinion validness...

by DiscreetFighterAlpha
Dumbasses like shit like this to be in the typical haunted house, or in the woods. Morons aren't scared of aliens, they're scared of TEH DEVILLL! So, this movie is bound to alienate everyone. Goob job, guys.

This is going straight to the bargain bin at WalMart. I am over the "found footage" shit.

tune-wise it's 'nice' lots of nods from everyone to Eno and Flying Lotus...but it's got the same problem as the previous lp...tends to wash over and is a bit forgettable. The Radiohead lionising needs to ease up a little

It's just H.264 in a stupid incompatible container that requires software that breaks other video tools. No thanks.
-
It looks great, and it has Rose fuckin Byrne. Come on, I'm pretty sure you guys did a story on it not long ago.
-
you're a fucking retard
-
So what's so cool about this? Looks like a hundred other movies, story-wise.
-
We are going to need to colonize other planets at some point, or die out as a species. That wouldn’t be so bad from my perspective, but the people of the future might see it differently. If we don’t keep a space program going, we won’t be prepared by the time this becomes necessary. Stephen Hawking agrees with me.

by DC Luder
Passing on Apollo18 unless Neil Patrick Harris and the gang save the day... but all sorts of stoked for Insidious. Yeah for Patrick Wilson being in an scary movie without having a freaky ass girl trying to castrate him!
-
Just that even if it is used how it is supposed to be, you run the risk of sounding like a cunt. And anyway it's so subjective, because some movies pay homage, or utilize previus themes well, or are derivative and a huge deciding factor between the first two which are positive, and the last one which is negative is weather the person talking about the movie likes it or not. You could say blade runner, alien, and the fifth element are derivative of möbius comics, rather than inspired by them... That is something one could say, not myself because I like all those movies. Just like you could say drag me to he'll was derivative of Sam ramie's earlier films, but it got surprisingly good reviews. I could say AVP was derivative of the first resident evil movie, because it was made by the same people, they used a 3d holographic map thing in both, and the same black guy got cut in to cubes. Once with lasers, and once with a razor preditor net. I could say it was derivative, but I don't. Because I don't enjoy sounding like a douche bag.
-
I watched and then wanted to download to my drive, then got the error above.
-
That's one I'd like to see, it looks like a lot of fun!
-
I will probably like this film then, even though I didn't watch the trailer. Somebody should do a found footage film about finding Bigfoot, as long as they blur out his big Yeti cock.

Seriously though, I think a zombie found footage film would be neat
by lv_426
Especially if it showed the start of the panic/pandemic, and went all the way to the end of or rebuilding of civilization. Or maybe a faux doc would be cool too. Sorta like how District 9 started out, but keeping the documentary style for the whole film. And yes, I know if REC, but didn't that one take place over the course of a single night, and was shot by a news crew? No one has done a longer take on a zombie outbreak in documentary style.
-
Sorry but it is. Also, even the trailer is too long by about 30 seconds. It doesn't take that long to set up the concept. I was ready to "walk out" even before the trailer was over. Does remind me of the one of the first ever MTV ads, though... the one with the rapid fire quick cut shots of the astronaut saluting the MTV flag. Most of you kids are probably a little young to remember that. :) That was back when Martha Quinn and Nina Blackwood were the latest thing and when MTV actually played MUSIC on occasion. :)
-
Exact same plot but more action from the looks of it.
-
I liked the subject matter... the found footage sub-genre CAN be effective if done right... and Timur Bekmembatov has never really let me down(sue me, I like the guy's stuff, even to the point that a producer cred piques my interest). But this trailer falls flat for me. Seems like it takes too long to get to a lackluster plot payoff. But with that said, there are a ton of films that i LOVE that had lackluster initial trailers. I know this property ignited a bidding war and immediately had some A-list talent trying to attach their names to it. So I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, for now. I guess I was just expecting a little... more?
-
It was terrible. But I thought that was supposed to be documentary Zombie movie. Wasn't there another one that Blair Witch ripped off the style of that was zombies too?

pleasewipemyass and tvs-frank, why should I spend money and
by Coughlins Laws
give a shit about people 500 to 1000 years from now? Do you think people from 1000 years ago gave a shit about me? NASA's a complete waste of money. As far as colonizing other planets, are you shitting me? They can't even get someone to Mars and back and won't be able to even attempt to for decades. How the Hell are they gonna get humans to another planet out of our solar system? It's never happening. Warp drive is a fantasy. You've watched too much Star Trek and Star Wars. It would take hundreds of years to get humans to another habitable world. It's never happening...
-
...none of us will be around to see it, though.
-
I guess I had a memory lapse, because I can't believe I didn't think of Diary of the Dead. Although, I didn't really like Diary much at all. It didn't look like a real documentary, and didn't take things very seriously. I'm thinking a zombie documentary that is serious and is shot like a real doc. Diary was too over-lit and just didn't capture a real-life feel to things. I'm thinking more in line with the scene in Signs, where the kids at the birthday party are being videotaped and then they all run to the window and the alien walks out between the alleyway. That was serious and felt like real honest to goodness amateur video footage. A zombie doc/found footage film like that, but one that spans a long period of time, has never been done as far as I know, or at least not been done successfully.
-
i know he posted two days ago about hollywood not ever getting walking on the moon right and it made him despise the movie because of it... wow...really ? its a movie. sick of these losers looking for realism in a movie. i saw moon, never noticed they were "Bouncing" wrong. maybe u should be trying to get a chick to "bounce" on your dick. u sound way too uptight
-
What's the one done docu-style about the people that hunt trolls and other medieval-type monsters? I think it was a foreign film. It came out fairly recently but I can't find anything about it.
-
I might have had the presence of mind to think of searching for "troll hunters" if it wasn't 1:30am and I didn't have six beers in me.

I wouldn't go so far as saying it was ruined, but "Sunshine" suffers from what I call "Boyleism": An incredible film that falls apart and gets two steps too close to manic in the third act. Seriously, pretty much all his movies do the same thing.

The hardware was already built. There are three complete Saturn V vehicles lying on their sides as exhibits because we decided man on the moon was old news. Because NASA and its contractors didn't downsize but continued other projects, the real "savings" of not flying the remaining moon missions was, incredibly, only $30-40 million. For an inkblot in the federal budget, we squandered a capability it would now cost $200 billion to reacquire. Apollo 17 was the first to spend 3 whole days on the moon's surface and was the only crew to include an actual scientist explorer. We were just getting started.

planet ignites. There is no better place in the universe. Any astronaut will tell you a gas-station toilet is heaven compared to anywhere in space. Toilet got air and water. Nuff said. We need to dig cities miles underground. 3 miles should be safe from any solar blasts. We need to start thinking of the earth as the space station it is. We need better shields and there's tons of real estate underground. If anyone has disallusions pertaining to the exponential masses arriving in 2030. In other words- if you've somehow convinced yourself that there's enough resources for them. Then you must be thinking underground expansion and locust meat becoming the #1 protein source. Also there better be more water underground

way these missions suddenly ended except what Armstrong and others have said. We were kicked off the moon. Space station or unlimited land to make a lunar base? You do the math on which is more practical.

I do what I can now that my home Hadley's Hope got infested, and last I heard, went up mushroom cloud style. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of the only company freighter left on Acheron before those damn xenomorphs had the chance to mouth-rape me with one of those little face hugging bastards. Speaking of which, I'm glad you didn't get Dee pregnant. How is the gang at Paddy's these days anyways?

Really, whatever the dosage is, change it. We landed 6 Apollo manned missions on the Moon. We didn't find any lunar cities, covert NASA mining colonies, we weren't run off the Moon by angry aliens. Case closed.

Not working properly ... again. If only people were more computer literate, maybe enough would recognize what a crappy format MOV is and it would finally fade into a richly deserved irrelevance.

i agree Boyle has the John Carpenteritis, and that fella is fairly 2 dimensional but despite that i think Sunshine managed to go a bit furthur with the overall structure and layout and ideas-themes in the script. It doesnt spoil Sunshine for me, but it is its obvious flaw or hiccup.

Insidious looks very exciting, this looks like it gives away nearly the whole movie anyway
