Looks like The Blair Witch Project on the Moon? Not going to waste my time on this one. Seems like more fodder for the nutjobs out there.

Yep, I agree. It looks ridiculous - and I'm a died in the wool Apollo tragic from the 60's who remembers the landing like it was yesterday. You're right Stephen - some halfwits will take it as a ticket to nurture their already misguided conspiratorial brains.

I just wish someone like Ron Howard would do Apollo 11 - in the same style of Apollo 13, and call on the remaining astronauts to assist in accurately portraying the flight before they pass on.

Watched this one. Curious. Technically it is pretty good, I suppose they used some documentary fragments in it, too. From logical and commonsense points of view - plain silly. Is it worth watching? Maybe once - unless you are a true fan of Apollo program. Then don't - because you already saw the most interesting part of it (true Moon documentaries) and know why all this stopped. This movie's version will insult your intelligence.
