Leave your thoughts about Operation Avalanche.
| FILMINK (Australia)John Noonan...impresses with its humour, depth and numerous salutes to Kubrick. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThe found footage genre has been saturated since the days of "The Blair Witch Project (1999)." But, Johnson and his cast and crew make it fresh again in a nostalgic and old fashioned way. |
| Chicago ReaderDmitry SamarovA send-up like this works far better for a few minutes on the small screen (see Documentary! or Drunk History); at feature length it becomes a stylistic exercise, like a kid mugging for the camera through an Instagram filter. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellThat's one small step for Apollo 11 hoaxers, one giant leap for Matt Johnson. |
| National PostChris KnightOperation Avalanche is both a hilarious mockumentary and a tense thriller that dares to imagine what crazy people have been saying for 40 years; that Apollo astronauts never actually walked on the moon. |
| Globe and MailBarry HertzFor those looking for a brash new entry in the cinematic landscape, Operation Avalanche is an almost otherworldly gift. The best part of all: No one had to die. I think. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloAlas, while modern technology allows for impressive, convincing effects work on a comparatively tiny budget, the basic concept itself hasn’t improved with age. Clever ideas are still in short supply. |
| Movie MezzanineVikram MurthiThough Operation Avalanche succeeds technically, it largely fails to make the most of its premise, specifically in terms of thematic weight beyond the literal footage. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthReaches the sort of multi-layered levels of duplicity and narrative that would make Christopher Nolan proud. |
| HeraldNet (Everett, WA)Robert HortonA cracking example of a low-budget concept done right. |
