Apollo 18 (2011)
Don't believe the hype
The previews made 'Apollo 18' seem as if it had some real promise. Secret mission to the moon, massive government cover-up, something unknown lurking on our nearest neighbor. A group of friend and I thought this would be a sure-fire good time before we set out on a Friday night.
Don't believe the hype...This movie turned out to a bad 80 minute mix of 'John Carpenter's: The Thing' (gets better with age) and 'Blair Witch Project' (not so much) set on the Moon. There were only four of us in the theater and we couldn't wait to leave, and the reason we lasted the length of the movie was to see if there was some deus ex machina that would save the film at the end...
But there wasn't...Worst movie I've seen in a theater!
If you want to bore yourself for 80 minutes, watch some grass grow and save yourself $10.
Doom (2005)
DOOM: A terrible, terrible movie
DOOM was a much hyped movie that ended up disappointing severely. First of all, it was the most boring video-game based movie I've ever seen. Yes, even worse than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. I've never gone to a movie on opening weekend and received such bad vibes from the crowd. No one liked it, not even the MUCH too long and boring First Person sequence or the monsters. They weren't even entirely true to the original DOOM/DOOM II; the much feared boss from those classic games doesn't even make an appearance. I know people are gonna say that it was based more off of DOOM 3. Well guess what, that was also one of the weakest FPS to come out in recent years! This film will be worth it when the rental comes out, but don't see it otherwise.
Personally, I'll be counting the days until a Duke Nukem movie comes out. Now that would be awesome.
