REVIEW - Apollo 18

Somewhere between a regular documentary and a Blair Witch style story about an alleged secret US space mission to the moon, which pretty soon finds footprints on the surface, and what looks like an abandoned Russian capsule.

As they uncover more evidence of an earlier Russian landing, more and more information comes out that was known by the US Government and not revealed to the crew in advance of the mission.

As the tension mounts, the documentary and editing style - cuts from one CCTV camera to another, and from hand-held to hand-held, all low quality footage - gets annoying.

At the end I was left thinking "so what?"
