Found footage shows a secret mission by NASA who sent three astronauts to the moon. What they found revelas why the US never went back.

You're enjoyment of this one will depend on your tolorance for found footage movies. Personally I quite enjoyed it and found it to be a pretty unique twist on the tired old found footage genre. The moon setting is certainly different and it has a few genuinely creepy moments. It is quite slow moviing too which probably won't appeal to some, but if you have patience then there's some fun to be had here.

I enjoyed the look of the film as quite a bit is presented in the style of the original moon landing footage which does add an air of realism to it all. The acting is decent from everyone and the dialogue is fine. It's not a violent or gory film but the few effects there are, are pretty decent.
