Apollo 18 - the horror flick

The whole shaky-cam / found footage thing has been done to death, but this movie was surprisingly good.  The story was a B+ grade tale right out of the golden years of sci-fi, the action was (mostly) believable, and there were enough "holy crap, what was that?!?" moments to keep my interest – several of which revolved around space hardware.  Whoever wrote the script had a pretty good reading of Aviation Week, or at least the Wikipedia condensed version of it.

In the end, it is nothing more and nothing less than a competent monsters-in-space movie.  It was made, its viral marketing campaign didn't really take off, film critics (*sniff*) didn't get it, but it still made a little bit of money.  And there's nothing wrong with any of that.  If that sounds good to you, it's worth a rental.  3 out of 4 stars.
