I'm such an idiot looking forward to this movie...

To be honest, the moon landing itself should be a romantic theme. Apollo 11 made humans proudly stand on the moon overlooking their hometown for the first time. Apollo 13, after an accidental accident, sent the pilot safely back to the ground from the dark space. And with the end of the Apollo 17 mission, we haven't set foot on that land for 40 years. In the past 40 years, we have had countless opportunities and reasons to visit the bright moon again, but why didn't we go?


The question has given too many conspiracy theorists the chance to jump up and down, even exaggerating to the point of outright denying the existence of the Apollo program itself. And this movie is one of them. Almost anything about the moon landing, novels, movies, fake news, etc., I read with great enthusiasm, because I think NASA and their Apollo program should be the most romantic event in human history in the 20th century. must. So I've been looking forward to this film since the beginning of the year, and I've waited until September... I still bounced in the middle! So much so that the first thing I did when I came back to the US after my vacation was to go to the cinema to watch this film...and it turned out...it


was a utterly boring and lousy film...it was worse than I expected...


First of all, it was a fake documentary. form itself. The film chose a format in which everything from the use of shots to the effects of the picture was completely restricted. And this format didn't really add much luster to the film, but instead became an "excuse" for why the film was so boring. This format directly exaggerates the failure of the editing of the whole film, and makes the rhythm control a total mess. The whole film is full of lengthy cutscenes, meaningless plots, and some sort of suspenseful arrangement. Many people can't bear to quit halfway after seeing half of it.


Why are you leaving? Because this film has no suspense, no doubt, or even horror... neither suspense nor horror. Not long after the opening, moving stones and strange sounds appeared in a hurry, and the stench of alien creatures flooded the screen directly and rushed into the nostrils of every audience member. Anyone can guess where the rest of the movie is going. It’s okay if there is no suspense, there is no fear in the film, and there is no suspense in ghost movies, but ghost movies can at least scare people. This film can't even scare people. A few long-legged little monsters are originally "unrealistic, non-daily" settings. In this highly closed and independent environment, their sense of existence is really still alive. It is not as strong as the despair of losing oxygen.


Well, no fear, no suspense, no fast pace, not even BGM. So good, back ten thousand steps, this is a pseudo-documentary, and it is understandable without these (right?). That being the case! This is completely different from the real space mission, who is playing Jiajia? People who know nothing about space missions will believe this! The sound system was so developed that people couldn't believe they were on the moon! It's so difficult to communicate at a distance, but their conversations are like chatting on the phone! ! Those various gravitational gangs are even more fake than filming! Not to mention the successful launch of Maozi's lunar module, something that would make you think with your toes! What kind of black technology is that moon rock bug! Mind control or mind infestation? That's it! Ah... This really makes the audience lose even the last hope...


Where is the point of this film ... Is

the spirit of "don't give up, don't give up" of the three gays... Hahaha?



I've been looking forward to the movie for half a year... I'm so disappointed that I'm outrageous... Eh, the Contagion that just came out is obviously more interesting... I'm really regretting my bowels... ORZ
