Apollo 18....waste of 3 dollars..


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

So my friend convinces me to go watch this shitty movie last night, and this was Skyline esque.* SPOILER ALERT* So basically, after Apollo 17, NASA had another trip to the moon, Apollo 18. It was a Top Secret two man mission to the moon to do something....they never fully explained the mission. They get there, and find a Russian Spaceship there as well. The idiots go inside of a crater so some reason near the space ship where they find the dead Russian. They find a rock inside of his suit. They tell NASA, and of course NASA is all like ahhh we didn't know, then the next day/morning NASA tells them they could confirm that Russia had been on the moon blah blah blah. They set off to leave a short time later but of course their ship fails to take off. One of these dumbasses goes outside as if he could actually access what was wrong with the poo in the first place, only to be "attacked" but the Moon spiders or whatever they where. His buddy goes out to save him, and get him back into the ship, where they find out he was infected? Inside his cut they find a rock, which explodes of something. Later you can see the spider inside the ship but...again, none of this was ever explained. His buddy gets really bad, and eventually dies (keep reading) so he tells NASA. The directer of the DOD tells the healthy guy that they can't get them, but at least he died a hero. He has the bright idea of trying to the dock the Russian ship, with the one in orbit to get back to Earth. Well, his not so dead but also dead dumbass buddy is attacked again and basically killed, but he makes it to the ship, where he magically pilots it to orbit, (but not after his buddy attacked the ship with a hammer one last time, only to be "eaten"? why the moon spiders. Anyway, the ship takes off, and when they get into orbit, of course 0 gravity takes affect, I'm not sure100% what happened in this scene, I was texting, but my friend said it was dumb. Anyway, the guy in orbit dies as well I guess, but again, this was never explained.

This could have been really good, except for the C- acting, how they never explained the spider things, the rocks etc. Too many holes..don't even waste time downloading this..

You'd think having two guys isolated on the moon would make for some pretty creepy imagery and tons of slow-building tension. The movie is mostly just cheap jump scares and "omg wtf was that" fast cutaways.

I also like how

*WARNING SPOILERS FOR A pooTY MOVIE YOU SHOULDN'T SEE*

Liberty apparently collides with Freedom at the end, hurling all of this supposedly found footage that was shot on hand-held cameras into space, never to be recovered. That and how parasitic rock spider things have managed to evolve and survive in a place that's only been visited by other living things a handful of times starting 40 years ago.

Really I'm definitely a plebe when it comes to movies and I'm easily entertained, but this thing was total ass garbage. The definite highlight though was when the "official story" of the fate of the space d00ds was printed across the screen at the end and some obviously shaken 12 year old in front of me was like "... they lied to us."

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
