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.

This is just another independent mock documentary film in the same vein as Blair Witch Project, District 9, This Is Spinal Tap, Paranormal Entity, Dark Side of the Moon, the list is endless. I fail to see anything other than another slightly above average film. The acting for the most part is well thought out. However I thought some scenes were off the mark. Such as the film maker brandishing a pistol in the church? The motive was initially just curiosity and it would seem this changes in the documentary from that to "it is up to us to save the world".The time and space paradox is never well explored. The plot is not that hard to follow but has some real silly scientific holes in it. For example; The part about "painting" over the moon photos, when anyone can clearly see the moon with the aid of a decent telescope or a pair of quality binoculars. Making a great deal of the film hard to swallow.

I was bored one night on Hulu and clicked this movie completely thinking it was gonna be a cheap cheesy Sci-Fi film made in someones basement. I was pleasantly surprised at its quality, the in-depth story line, the immense amount of scene changes, the ability to pull you into the story and make you feel for the characters. I believe this is one of those films that no one knows about but deserves awards for how good it is. Needless to say I did not regret watching this movie. The story line is a little out there but I don't think the whole plot would make sense if the story line wasn't a little out there. So YES I would recommend it to friends and I have.

I picked this movie up late one night on Hulu, quite casually, not knowing a thing about it.Fast forward an hour later and I'm watching the movie with a rifle across my lap, terrified to continue but too engrossed to stop.It isn't perfect, you can tell it's low budget at parts, but that doesn't stop it from being better than it has any right to be. The plot may be out-there, and the characters and dialogue ripped from a college campus, but Mother of God is it entertaining. I can't really say much about what happens, but if you like a good story, and love being creeped all the hell out, then drop the hour and a half. You can't do much better.
