Arthonon Hotshot Registered: 09/28/04 Posts: 6241 Loc: California	A friend of mine saw it, and since I didn't plan on seeing it, we agreed he could tell me all about it. He said he expected worse, and combining that with going with some friends and having a good time with them, he felt it wasn't a terrible waste of time. He did bring up one question he wondered about, though: Click to reveal.. How did they get the footage back to Earth? _________________________ Ken Cartwright No single drop of rain feels it is responsible for the flood. http://www.techflyer.net

If Apollo 18 was a top secret DOD mission that supposedly did not exist, perhaps they had a 19 mission to retrieve intelligence. I think it was very good. Just an old fashioned creepy story with a unique setting. It was fun to look at and watch. They created some very good claustraphobic scenes. Well worth my 5$ ticket and the twenty I'll probably spend buying it when it comes to DVD. _________________________ " Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

Those DOD sensor arrays they had up their perhaps were sophisticated enough to transmit what they were recording into a signal back to earth? Might be pushing it but hey, its fun sci-fi movie. _________________________ " Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

Click to reveal.. I thought the whole set up was "found footage," so where was it hidden until it was found? Maybe in a file cabinet on Earth or something? I dunno. _________________________ Ken Cartwright No single drop of rain feels it is responsible for the flood. http://www.techflyer.net

The only thing I can think of that makes any kind of since is that they eventually sent another crew with the intention to recover the astronauts cameras and any other intelligence and then allowed them to come back where upon the film was classified and hid away. _________________________ " Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

If I see a film about the US space program and then there's a dragon attacking the Cape prior to a launch, I'm NOT fine with that. It's the context, not absolutes. If you stick with absolutes, well, pretty much no film is worthwhile because even those based on real events, like Apollo 13, have a lot of fictionalized events and dialogue as filler. Hmm, Well i flew a light plane aver hobiton... SO that makes it reality flying over fantasy... How does that fall into the above category.

Jedi Master Entil'zha Big Kahuna Registered: 02/15/00 Posts: 35593 Loc: Space Coast, USA	Then you flew over a set, you did not fly over Hobbiton. Therefore, you didn't fly over a fantasy, you flew over a location used by a film crew...one of the most banal things there is.
