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...............................................................................................................................................................................
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 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...
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 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!
