With terrible special effects, wooden acting, uninspired characters, Apollo 18 is nothing short of a travesty of the highest order.
Nothing in Apollo 18 is new or inspiring, borrowing heavily from other "found footage" titles such as Paranormal Activity. Yet it cannot match the tension built. The characters are so dull and unlikable, you won't care what happens to them. Just showing a video of one of them at the start with a family doesn't make you care about them. There is a sequence near the end of the film which is so bad it could be replicated using Microsoft Powerpoint.
And the scares, with very few of them, are disappointingly non-scary. The aliens, not very threatening or enthralling. Apollo 18, is nothing you've not seen before.
