The Landing

I have a big problem with this faux documentary. People younger than 60 don't know Apollo ended in 1972 with Apollo 17 so this would be believable to them. It also furthers conspiracy theories about the Apollo manned missions being faked; that no one ever landed on the moon. It was all done on a soundstage in an abandoned plane hanger. There is no disclaimer or other indication it's fake.

This would be eligible for consideration IF Apollo 18 was a real mission!

Because this whole movie is FICTION, it serves only to confuse those interested in the Apollo program. People don't often do their own research, and those that don't could believe this story.

It only serves as a stunt to fool a viewer who either lacks the existing knowledge or the curiosity and intellectual fortitude to research. In both cases, it ceases to be entertaining.

It IS well-acted and is executed in a very convincing manner-making it all-the-more dangerous a weapon of misinformation in an age where it rampant.

The faux documentary "The Landing" does a pretty credible job of presenting a fictitious fable of conspiracy and tragedy haunting an Apollo 18 manned mission to the Moon that never was.

The overall quality of the production along with the acting are uniformly quite good here. But when the denouement lands us where it certainly seems to as an audience, I have a hunch you'll be joining me in a scoffing chorus of, "Come ON, maaan."

And they say women don't have The Power.

I love sci fi in general, but not this tripe.

I knew there was no Apollo 18 mission so I was curious what they were doing with this movie. It seemed to be mostly a series of boring interviews of unattractive people telling stories written by third rate hack writers which were not funny, not interesting and not even factual.

A documentary about a REAL Apollo mission with interviews of ordinary people who knew real historical details would have been a lot better.

Or an exciting movie like the fictional "Apollo 18" movie with the rock monsters.

This movie appears to have been very low budget.

It's worse than a waste of time. You might absorb a fake story about a real astronaut that some no-talent hack writer made up.

Don't waste your time or risk polluting your memory with this garbage.

Got to the end and wondered why.... Why I got all the way to the end....
