Is there any actual connection to the real canceled apollo 18? That's a pretty small budget. As long as it's better than that old stinker Moontrap.

Hey! Capricorn One wasn't that bad (well, when i was 14.) Elliot Gould, James Brolin, Sam Waterston did a great job. OJ Simpson dies in the desert. A great 4 aircraft chase. It looked like Peter Hyams was going to be a great director.

It's interesting how the action is split between Gould (doing All The President's Men-type snooping) and Brolin (doing the hero stuff). Kind of like a transition period from The Long Goodbye to Die Hard.

edit: Oh. It just dawned on me that Invid meant respect-wise. Never mind.

I've never heard of Capricorn One, but going from the IMDB tagline, at least that was about something hasn't happened at all. This (as well as Transformers) are making their buck on ACTUAL Apollo events.

As a sidenote I should should say, when I posted this I had just spent 45 mins trolling the IMDB list of movies coming out in 2011 and was feeling particularly bitter towards the entire industry. Still am actually.

EDIT: I should also say that regarding this paticualar movie, I was disgusted by the fact that it's listed as a horror/thriller. I have nothing against making movies about the apollo/Nasa missions (Ala From The Earth To The Moon or Apollo 13), as long as it isn't doing it as a cheap structure for a stupid B-movie plot thereby disgracing the memories of the people actual involved.

My opinion is the same as Brian's, he just worded it better than I would have.

Even if not done all that well, it still may be enjoyable We do have the good historical NASA movies/series so it's not like the alien fantasy stuff was all there was.

(the alien and paranormal stuff on the History channel, on the other hand...)
