Moontrap: Target Earth

I never leave reviews, but I felt it necessary to warn people about this film.

The premise was great! It is the stuff I love to see in films, but the execution was just downright terrible. The acting, the props, the writing... it was all half-assed and not thought out in the least. It's almost as if they didn't even try! I've seen better movies with beter effects and acting come out of high school A/V clubs. Seriously, it is that bad. Don't waste your time.

This movie is vastly inferior to the original Moontrap. The story is a mish-mash of elements from better movies like Prometheus, and the typical we don't want the populous to know of this, it will ruin society. The special effects are sub par and compare to the worse the SyFy channel dishes out. Moontrap was not a A budget movie but is made good use of the stars and budget. This one had only 2 robots and neither looked like the Kaalium. One plus is the character development, you cared about what was going on with them. The ending was unsatisfying. Overall a movie that needed to look at the original for better inspiration and better writers and effects.

This has got to be one of the worst movies I've seen. The writing's bad - unless you are entertained by tons of swearing and a very lame story... both evidence of lack of education on the writer's part. Editing sucks, too. And every time something's about to happen, my husband announces what it will be, it's that predictable. I think I'll go find the original, maybe that one has some redeeming qualities.

I wonder if there's a way to get our $4 back from Amazon.

This film had so much potential – and it squandered all of it.

The editing was off, but my primary complaint is that the various characters never acted as if they were real people. Case in point, a main character loses what would have appeared to be the love of their life, yet shows virtually no emotion about it whatsoever, even to the point of seeming to completely forget about that person's existence shortly afterward.

The plot is disjointed at best, and the entire film seems to be a series of set pieces strung together in a very haphazard fashion.

As for the ending of the film?

Well, it ended. It didn't make any sense, but neither did the rest of the movie.

It's been many years since I have seen a film of such low quality. Both Acting and special effects could have been created at a kindergarten by a bunch of 6 year old's but that would be an insult to your average 6 year old. I somehow have the impression that the budget was a little bit tight also.

I feel sorry for the acting cast because if they get known for only this film then I feel that their career would go straight down the toilet. Shame cause some of them have potential.
