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!

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 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.

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'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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I love B grade cheesy movies, but this 'movie' doesn't even try. Humans walking on the moon with no spacesuits, just a hospital airline in their noses. People speaking to each other without radio communication in an oxygen free environment. Hmm even in the 50's they had glass bowls on their heads and radios. They are pretending there is an atmosphere on the moon and I was waiting for an explanation, but it never came. I have seen better acting, writing, sets and effects from a third grade Christmas play. Tubi should stay away from releasing original content and just stick to streaming Asylum films.

The opening of the movie, though with very good special effects, took me back to the classic Chevy Chase "Landshark" sketches from 70s SNL. Other inspiration seems to be drawn from productions as diverse as Armageddon, Baywatch, Planet of the Apes, Space 1999, and, of course, every cheesy shark movie ever made. Totally worth taking the time for a good laugh.

OK, you know this is no award winning movie, its low budget and does the job for a corny movie. I would say a point lower than Sharktopus, but worth watching.

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 cant put into words how amazing this movie was. It was full of twists and turns that i never could have expected. The character development and plot points were beautifully done and better than anything i have seen in my life. The cgi was top notch too. It was clear how much time they put into it. The actors also managed to capture their characters in the perfect way, and you could tell how much they cared about their jobs. Selah is also mighty fine. Her curves are unmatched. Her shark slay self kept me watching the whole time. I also loved her saunter. She was amazing. Overall, i give this movie a ten out of ten. Everybody should watch it.

Greatest thing since 2001: a Shark Oddesey. I only saw the second half, but it was wonderful. The first one was really great too but the second was just too good for me to watch at that moment lol and the first one I saw was really great but it wasn't too bad so I didn't get the second half of it was a little too good for the second one but it wasn't bad enough for the second part but it wasn't as bad for the second and the third part is a lot of fun and it felt really nice and it felt more and felt like more of an hour and more like the first and I felt more of the first half but it felt more of the same but it felt a lot better and it felt a bit like an ending.

You have a movie with a name like this. Produced by The Asylum, world famous for their mockbusters and terrible b movies. You have to expect that the movie you're watching is nothing more than background noise. This movie had me more annoyed rather than laughing. The animation, while I didn't have high expectations to begin with, were stiff and all over the place. It looked like they got the 3d model assets from the person who mad Trump VS The Illuminati (also on Tubi). Like most Asylum films it's full of cheap out of nowhere deaths and meaningless sacrifices. There are no stakes at all in the film. The color grading on the actors is the worst I've seen in their filmography so far (haven't seen them all, I'm sure there's worse). The green screen is headache inducing. If you know what you're going in for you'll have an okay enough time, but I feel this is just another attempt to make a "so bad it's good" movie on purpose, and that never works.

Honestly, this is perhaps the only C class movie I watched to the end. Did not even grade as B Grade What a joke of a movie... the CGI could only possibly be compared to the animations within Mary Poppins and the likes... appeared so fake with poor animations that some might call CGi... but really was no more sophisticated than painted over animations from the early 1960's. A very poor movie indeed.

The movie is pathetic and ranks as an equal or lesser to that flop, "skarknado"

Movie has no real story line... is tgekindof movie hyou mught watch while dropping acid, otherwise, a complete insult to.

If you embark on watching this film for the action, thriller, or sci-fi potential, this movie ranks around a minus 7 out of 10 stars.

However, if this is your "Best of the Worst" pick for a fun night of drinking with friends and laughing at loudly preposterous premises, costumes, characters and sets, then this is the movie for you.

The first 20 minutes of the movie is probably the funniest, for so many reasons. The best part being the stolen "Hunt for Red October" trope of quickly changing subtitled dialogue to English with phony Russian accents.

I won't spoil any of the ridiculous jokes in the movie, but I will say that there is a minuscule chance that everyone involved didn't knowingly play this like they all knew every part of this movie was a joke. If that is the case, then this is pure trash. If, like I think, they all knew what a gigantic joke every part of this movie is, then this is a phenomenal comedy.

Having said all of that, the production values are way better than one would expect given the very low CGI quality. The human-shark-now-moon-dwelling-bad-guys are very poorly done. I gave it three stars because I laughed at so many things throughout. I'll admit that I'm not sure if they intended for me to laugh at so many aspects of the movie.
