Apollo 18 Trailer
Apollo 18 tells the story of an unknown NASA mission to the Moon, and why we’ve never gone back in the years since.
It’s rare that a movie sneaks up on me without me hearing much about it. I had head the name Apollo 18 here or there, but had never really gotten a handle on what it was about. The trailer has now popped up, and while it follows the “found footage” format that was made popular by movies such as The Last Broadcast and The Blair Witch Project, it adds the concept of an otherworldly locale and a question that has been on the minds of space enthusiasts for years about why we’ve never returned to our only natural satellite.
To be honest, I find holes with the whole concept for the outset that there could have never been an Apollo launch that people didn’t know about (launching a rocket tends to create a lot of very visible evidence), and it appears to get a little wacky later on with some sort of “space spider” antagonist, but yet I find myself intrigued enough to possibly want to watch it some day.
Here’s the Apollo 18 trailer in all its under-the-radar glory.

I'd watch it if I found it on netflix.
I can't stand watching "found footage" style shows in a theatre.
