In 2011, both Weinstein's co-produced this medium budget sci-fi trip to the moon. Using a nearly anonymous cast, they showed the astronauts lives just before the launch and then blast off. Top Secret of course and the three nauts weren't really sure why they were going. Once they touched down, they planted a flag and had naps. In the morning, they saw the most horrifying thing an astronaut could see: The flag was missing. Later they moonwalk into a deep crater and find a dead Cosmonaut. Okay, Houston finally lets own that's why they are there: To check and see if the Russians ever made it. After that point, things begin to move around and one of the nauts takes terribly ill. They now face a terror they were not prepared for.
Made in the vein of a few other similar sci-fi films I found this interesting from my POV. I like the outer space scenario and all the conflicts they encounter. The use of the 'Blair Witch' documentary style was well done as it was a double Weinstein whammy.
Based on what you may think about it, not me:
2 wonks for detail and realism and spin
2.5 wanks for predictability
