Come on guys, don't make it too easy for me...
1. Here's an original take on aliens: 'Moon rocks are
actually aliens that eat people'. So many things not making sense here. If the
"rock aliens" are carnivorous, how have they survived living on the
moon with nothing but other rocks? It's not like people take weekend vacations
to the moon and the aliens have a constant food source. With that in mind,
there aren't any plants on the moon, either, so the rock aliens can't be
herbivores. What the hell has kept them alive this whole time? Do they not need
to eat to survive? Then why are they eating people?
2. Apparently the rock aliens have the ability to burrow
into a person's skin and poison them, an ability they have harnessed through
practice on... no one? Again, they're rocks, on the moon, that seem to be
engineered specifically for killing humans. I can't even believe that sentence
I just typed came from a movie plot.
3. I'm going to be honest, this film is incredibly boring. I
have a feeling the writers started to realize that and wrote in some crappy
"jumpy" scenes where the astronauts jokingly jump out at the camera.
4. They try to play this movie off as "actual
footage" newly released to the general public. Dude, come on, killer moon
rocks? Actual footage? They even post a website where you can check out the "real"
story at the end of the movie. This tactic does not excuse lazy film-making or
crappy writing because it's supposed to be "real". It didn't work
when 'The Devil Inside' tried to use it, and it doesn't work here.
5. The flatness and overall lack of excitement in this
boring movie would have been easier to endure if there was perhaps... some
music? Instead we get silence throughout the movie. Just a flat dead movie with
nothing going on but heavy breathing and the same two guys talking to each
other. I don't care if it's just random rock music, give me something to listen
to.
In closing, this one is a huge waste of time to anyone
looking for horror or thriller films... or drama... or comedy... or action...
hell, even instructional videos. I wasted my time so you wouldn't have to.
