What the critics say
Based on 12 reviews, Operation Avalanche gets an average review score of 68
There’s a headlong temerity to Mr. Johnson’s style that places the dippy thrill of moviemaking front and center, revealing a director (and a character) so high on his power to misrepresent reality that a future in politics seems all but assured.
3122d ago
Matt Johnson and Owen Williams' wild, borderline-illegal stunt delivers big time on its crazy premise.
3122d ago
You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp – and you might even find yourself revisiting the conspiracy theories, such is the fluency and invention of this terrific comedy.
3122d ago
Ingeniously using his low budget to address his ambitions, Johnson has directed, co-written (and starred in) a unique science-fiction film.
3122d ago
There is a palpable, Reddit-obsessed, audience for this kind of DIY thriller, and the filmmakers know how to serve them. Operation Avalanche is a solid piece of entertainment and a formal step up from their first feature. Where it lacks is in authenticity, too often feeling like an in-joke with no punchline.
3122d ago
But the movie’s premise has trouble sustaining a feature-length running time, getting mired in repetitive jokes and a third-act swing into harder-core suspense that never really connects.
3122d ago
Special effects can’t save Operation Avalanche’s tired conspiracy theory.
3122d ago
Ambitious CIA agents try to help NASA out by faking the Apollo 11 mission.
3122d ago
The film attains a chilly existential quality as Matt Johnson's character discerns the weight of his actions.
3122d ago
It's often more The Office than le Carré, and none of it's anywhere as interesting as the great counter-historical gag at the film's heart.
3122d ago
A cute, spunky found-footage thriller undone by a lumpy plot and a weak ending, “Operation Avalanche” revisits the urban legend that the moon landing was faked, with some fresh twists.
3122d ago
Found-footage conspiracy thriller "Operation Avalanche" is never as compelling as its high-concept premise: a quartet of CIA scientists help NASA fake the Apollo 11 moon landing after they discover that the Americans can't land on the moon.
