Shark Side of the Moon

This was bad. When the synopsis popped up on my guide, I was excited by the prospect of seeing the best bad movie ever. It started out with a lot of promise - this one was going to give Sharknado a run for its money. By about halfway it had degenerated into Yongary bad. It's not Ulli Lommel-level atrocious, but it did leave a pretty fantastic concept circling the drain. It's a solid 2/10. I added a star because the idea was so awesome and it did start out with promise. I could have subtracted that star for being a disappointment, but it is better than that...

Everyone involved in this should never be allowed near so much as a camera phone, let alone actual film equipment. They should consider themselves lucky that they aren't being prosecuted for crimes against film. That's as much effort for a review that this rubbish deserves. To put in anymore effort into a review of this film, would mean I'd of put more effort and professionalism in than what those who made the film did into this piece of garbage. I'm not even joking. In all honesty, I think a bunch of thawed out Neanderthals could of made a better film. In fact, watch this and prepare to have your brain de-evolve.

I caught this on TUBI last night and frankly this is one of the worst movies that I have ever viewed. Frankly life is too short to waste your time on this disaster.

1. Acting ranges from barely adequate to poor 2. CGI looks like it was designed on a Pentium 3 or Apple Power PC (almost twenty years old).

3. The storyline is so ridiculous and takes place on the far side of the moon which is perpetually dark...except in this movie.

4. The science behind this "money laundering" exercise was obviously based on pre-Gallileo science.

The only redeeming feature of this trainwreck was the ending which points to no sequels. Thank the gods and pass the bottle!

Believe me, life is too short to waste your time on this insult to your intelligence. Alternatively, if you just want a good laugh then this movie maybe for you.

I got "gems" like Nazis at the Center of the Earth in my not too small collection - and enjoyed the ride a lot (my rating a 5). I'm pretty sure Shark Side of the Moon will find some lost souls too, that will enjoy this cheesy trip to the Moon. For sure, it's not one of the worst movies I laid my eyes on, and it is for sure not the worst movie in the archives of The Asylum. The story is, of course, just a crazy one, but well, not much more unreasonable as most of the stuff Marvel and DC sell now for decades. What prevents me to give this flick a recommendation to the lover of the absurd and grotesque is my impression that neither the level on the horror-o-meter nor on the cheese-o-meter are strong enough - the execution of the premise (shark-mutants on the moon) is rather too tame and lame, and simply does not take full advantage of that crazy tale.

I've seen better filmmaking from a fifth-grade drama class - in the 1980's. This nonsense had two writers and two directors - of which has to be the worst directed film I've ever seen. Even worse, both directors have a combined -get this- 302 Visual Effects credits on their resume! The green screen and CGI effects seemed like they were just invented and experimented in this film. The bonus (and my recommendation for viewing this film) is that we all watched this under the influence of alcoholic beverages and recreational pharmaceuticals - strictly for medicinal purposes of course, and we couldn't stop laughing at how bad this was. This may have been less painful if the 88 min runtime was cut down to around 20 mins. There really was nothing redeeming about this poor excuse of an action sci-fi horror film. Even on a $75 dollar budget, I could make a better film. I mean Sharknado was better, so what does that tell you. But because of the many laugh out loud moments we had, especially during the slow-mo fake gravity moon walks, I'm still giving this nonsense a very generous 3/10.
