I guess I'm one of the few that loved it?

Seems like it's pretty unfairly getting picked apart. I know it's not perfect, but I can't help but love how genuine it felt. There were no forced conflicts between crew mates, no love triangles, no overly exaggerated personalities, just seemingly real people trying to fix a problem on a planet they know nothing about. Personally I loved the speed of the film, or lack thereof. I guess I don't understand the need to point to minor inconsistencies as if they somehow diminish what was otherwise a refreshing take on the Michael Bay-esque plots we've all gotten so used to. This is everything I wanted the horrid Apollo 18 to be.

I loved it too. As a matter of fact, I'm about to view it for the second time.

Funny, just watched this for the first time a few nights ago; didn't expect anyone to be talking about it. Enjoyed it very much. I wouldn't say that it's a "scary" movie or horror necessarily, but a couple moments, to me, were scarier than any horror I've seen in years. Particularly the scene where Corrigan just drifts away into nothingness and there's nothing that he or anyone can do. My stomach dropped; a literal "pucker moment" for yours truly.

Funny how life goes sometimes. It has a good soundtrack also. The CD is in my car CD player right now.

You’re not alone. I just watched it for the first time and found the whole thing engrossing. Solid science fiction/human drama/thriller.

Same, I disappointed I only heard about this film like, last year. It definitely slipped under the radar for me.
