Release Lunopolis premiered at the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival on February 12, 2010. It was released on DVD in October 2011. Reception The film received a rating of 4.5/5 from SBS One film critic Simon Foster who said of the film "The finale... is both 'sci-fi cool' and emotionally impactful." 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. Just go along for the ride and don't worry if you fully understand all that's going on." 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". 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." Avant won Best Director at Sydney's Fantastic Planet Film Festival.
