bakerct78 The script and acting may be lacking in some parts, but overall still an enjoyable film with a great story. The use of of the live documentary cinematography isn't overtly dizzying or nauseating like Blair Witch was. Sure its been done before but it works for this film. It doesn't feel tired and I think using other filming methods would have cheapened the experience. I was captivated by the story. Dave Potter's acting was the best and most belieable of any actor in the film. The first Church of Lunology scene felt pretty forced and poorly scripted though as was the meeting of the CEO toward the end. Im not sure if that last sentence was a spoiler but I marked it for spoilers anyways.

Michael Northrop Lunopolis is truly low budget sci-fi magic. I had no expectations going into it other than to waste a little time. It was so worth watching - I was glued to the screen, time flew by! The storyline is exquisite and well thought out, but it definitely requires a heaping spoonful of suspension of disbelief. The time machine scenes are very cerebral and thought provoking. The plot involves many aspects but none more exotic than the 12/12/2012 prophecy and the documentary style to which it unfolds. Lunopolis has elements of the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits which gives it a subtle noir tone but the film stays grounded in its own vibe. I shutter to think what this movie would have done at the box office if it were produced on a large scale with a bigger budget. The flying car in the movie is only referenced, never seen. The ending is truly a mind bender, that's all I will say.

worldriot I found Lunopolis as a suggestion on Netflix and gave it a shot. What I was expecting was a typical first-person, shaking camera thriller. What I found was quite different.The plot was unique and refreshingly intelligent. Nothing in the film was particularly "dumbed down" for wider appeal, and I am appreciative of this. Too often, a good idea becomes watered-down garbage so that it makes a few more dollars. This is not the case in Lunopolis.Set in the environment of December, 2012 the film explores several typical and several not-so-typical themes regarding the 12/21/2012 mythology and ties them into a fairly intricate science fiction plot involving a team of filmmakers who tumble down a rabbit hole when they find a particular polaroid picture. Time travel, inter-dimensional mechanics and immortality are all touched upon in a film that has surprising depth and style.The acting is better than I would expect for a film like this, the effects were way above average and the script is solid but there is another surprise in this film: The soundtrack.An incredible array of artists provide the emotions to this film. Explosions in the Sky and Thee Silver Mt. Zion (formerly A Silver Mt. Zion)and others give the film an epic-feel through an intense musical score that I hope I will be able to find on CD or iTunes soon.Overall, this film is worth every second I spent watching it and I don't get to say that nearly enough, so thank you Lunopolis!

jet66 Though the last thing the world needs is another documentary-style piece of science fiction, this one is at least stylistically interesting, and doesn't follow the Blair-Witch-found-footage formula by rote. Which is not to say it follows a coherent plot, because this has to be one of the most confusing premises ever to emerge from a script-writers drug-addled mind. Layers of nonsense science are whipped into a frothy, illogical conspiracy story that's entertaining, so long as you don't try to make sense of the mystery, much less the contrived notions of cause and effect. On the plus side, the acting is mostly top-notch, and the photography and editing would make a really artful documentary, in the real world. Also, the obvious parody of Scientology - the "Church of Lunology"- includes some wry equivalents to L. Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige.All in all, it could have been a much better movie.
