Shark Side of the Moon

I had to give this 'scary' sci-fi film a third star simply because it gave me plenty of laughs. Outside of that, this film is about as far from making sense as the earth is from the moon. But oh well, I guess they decided they had to pick somewhere new to give us a shark themed movie. Giggle, giggle!

Most scientifically accurate movie about sharks on the moon ever made!! Can't wait for the sequel next week cuz that's how effort they put into the production. Too bad Finn wasn't there to help.

I know going into a B list film, some logic won't always apply to it and I don't mind that. But when a 0 logic or sense, especially to the world it has created it's just stupid. An excuse for a bad film.

For example for some reason in this film, people can breath with just tubes in their noses and talk in space (note: Out of the ship in open space). Also for some reason they are constantly moving in slow motion out side of the ship. Which doesn't make for very interesting fight or chase scenes.

The characters also constantly contradict themselves and there is no feeling of urgency in the story. Which is odd since the story is about killer humanoid sharks. They are surprisingly easy to kill.

On top of that the camera placements and cuts feel very off and disorienting.

Other than that, the only good things I can say is it did make me laugh a couple times. I also thought the idea of the story was a fun Idea.

This movie was hilarious but not in the good ways. Only good thing it had goin was it made sharknado look like a goddamn masterpiece...............................................................................................................................................................................

Needless to say that I wasn't harboring any expectations at all of a movie with the name of "Shark Side of the Moon" as possibly being a good movie. Sure, it might be one of those cheesy bad movies that are so bad that they become fun to watch. I was sort of hoping for that.

And of course with "Shark Side of the Moon" being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to watch what writers Ryan Ebert and Anna Rasmussen had mustered with the script.

Seeing those two dreaded words on the screen at the start of the movie immediately made me twitch. What words you might ask? Well, you know, "The Asylum". Yup, this was another impressive movie from The Asylum. And let me just say that this movie was a sinker and a stinker. It was pretty terrible even for the standards of The Asylum.

The storyline in "Shark Side of the Moon" was pretty corny, sure. Talk about tacky sci-fi.

The acting performances in the movie were questionable at best, and it often felt like the actors and actresses themselves were struggling with taking things seriously.

"Shark Side of the Moon" is just full of so many errors, such as absolutely no concept of how gravity works on the moon, how having skin exposed to the vacuum of space works, and the list goes on and on. It was so bad that I ended up laughing a lot throughout the course of the movie, given all the mistakes and flaws that permeated the movie.

The special effects in "Shark Side of the Moon" were 'special' alright. Even for a movie from The Asylum, then the CGI effects in this movie were atrocious. The animation was wooden, rigid, stilted and just generally looked like something from an early 1990s PC game. Sure, I will say that the scenes with the spaceship flying through space looked good, and the textures of the sharks looked good. But everything else was just rubbish.

Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time, money or effort on "Shark Side of the Moon" from directors Glenn Campbell and Tammy Klein. The movie simply is not worth the effort.

My rating of "Shark Side of the Moon" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
