This mockumentary directed and starring Mat Johnson starts like a bright star but loses its way, the tension at the end looks tagged on.
Matt Johnson and Owen Williams are novice CIA agents who manage to convince their bosses to infiltrate NASA as documentary film makers to find out a Russian mole.
As they snoop around while they are making the documentary, they learn that NASA are struggling to send man on the Moon and bring them back safely.
Matt and Owen then have an idea to fake the moon landings and investigate ways to make it look convincing. This includes a visit to England to find out how Stanley Kubrick is simulating space to make 2001: A Space Odyssey.
They find out that although their simulation is an alternative plan, there is a further more sinister alternative plan. The documentary team are being followed by sinister looking men and their lives might be in danger as they might just know too much about Nasa's shortcomings.
As an off the wall documentary it worked well enough but it starts to flag and gets boring. Operation Avalanche crashed and burned on its landing.
