The film is presented in found footage style and takes place in the weeks preceding the rumored events of the 2012 prophecies.

Two documentary filmmakers discover a mysterious device and begin to unravel a conspiracy involving the Moon, time travel, and a very powerful organization who will stop at nothing to protect their secret.

Twelve days earlier, on December 9, 2012, a conspiracy-themed radio show takes a call from a man who claims to work at Area 51.

George Larson, the host, dismisses it as a hoax until he receives a photo album that contains enough evidence that he hires a documentary crew headed by Matt and Sonny to investigate the claims.

Matt and Sonny realize a decades-old Polaroid photograph depicts a man in modern clothing; on the back, it has a series of numbers written on it.

While Matt and Sonny investigate a Church of Lunology building, one of their camera operators, Nate, takes exterior shots.

Using the lunar rock, J. Ari Hilliard invents immortality and time travel, and, on December 21, 2012, he sends the first mission back to 350 BC, where they begin changing the timeline.

His next attempt resulted in the Roswell UFO incident, as he fled the lunar colony back to Earth with the crystal.

"[4] Harry H. Long of the Lebanon Daily News wrote, "Even if it gets a mite tangled up in its own mythmaking, Lunopolis is a lot of fun.

"[5] Paul Pritchard of DVD Verdict called it "a fine example of ambitious low-budget filmmaking" and said the found footage gimmick "works better than most films of its ilk".

[6] Tyler Foster of DVD Talk rated it 4.5/5 stars and wrote, "Lunopolis [is] an effective, electrifying little movie that's refreshingly interested in engaging the imagination rather than just the eyes and ears.
