WARNING! spoilers.
The film was great, and I could only see
one goof, that LM Pilot Anderson knew how to pilot an LK Lander, but he reveals this as because the LM and LK are "nearly the same".
I have watched the movie, and are willing to debunk earlier posts:
:lol: So far i found a goof:
In
this trailer, at 1:23, the CDR is in the passenger seat... that never happened, ever...
Wrong, there is a specific reason these places are switched: The CDR is infected with a virus making him delusional, so the LMP must take over.
True, but throwing in some alternative hardware like Lunar Gemini would definitely add intrigue. :thumbup:
LK Lander not good enough for you! :lol:
Concealing an Apollo-style mission from the public would be a conspiracy of incredible proportions which I doubt could be feasibly carried out. Much more believable would be something similar to the lunar Gemini scheme once considered by NASA as a possibility for rescuing stranded Apollo astronauts. A mission like that would be much more low-key and could possibly be concealed as part of a classified military/DoD program.
There is a good reason the mission was classified, and a lot of it is believable.
First, the mission is to place Early Warning Devices (against Russians) on the moon (or so the astronauts think). The launch is disguised as the Skylab launch. (Skylab never existed and was filmed on a sound stage). The crew discovers a Soviet LK Lander on the Moon, with one dead Cosmonaut in a crater nearby. It is revealed that the DoD knew about Cosmonauts on the Moon all along.
I wont reveal more, because the plot gets really good.
Absolutely not, this film is a must see.
I noticed that in the first trailer there was a Soviet LK lunar lander and, as far as I could tell, it was fairly accurately portrayed.
Almost perfectly.
It will be accurate so long as they are only attacked by one zombie cosmonaut. :lol:
All I will do here is wink.
It looks like they're trying to achieve the look of From the Earth to the Moon, but some'n else is bugging me: I don't hear the background hum of the fans from the life-support system in either the LM interior or the comms from inside the suits.
That's one of those little subliminal details that makes a big difference to me in terms of realism.
This sound does exist in the movie, but not in the trailers.

I'm sure it will get a hundred basic things about space flight and the Apollo programme wrong (aside from the obvious one)
Try it and see, you will be wrong.
