Moontrap: Target Earth (2017)

Very best movie i ever watch

Good concept, poorly executed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It is not easy to make a movie so bad on many levels that it turns out entertaining and ultimately not bad at all. Many have tried and failed in that respect, probably because it's not something you can do intentionally. It may not be your cup of tea but for me this was solid gold.

I suppose, no ever taught the "director" what continuity was. In spite of the fact there were several "well known" actors in this summer camp play, it just didn't make it. It was so disjointed I suppose the "director" was trying to be Quentin Tarantino. It didn't work. It was so bad, at one point the main male character was killed by the bad guy's black helicopter, then a second later the female "wakes up" and we see that it was a dream,. That he didn't die. Then a few minutes later the guy is dead again, for real. When did that happen? Maybe the "directer" was trying to make a really bad 40's B or D movie? If that's the case, then he did a good job of it.

Just kidding. I didn't stay with it long enough to fall asleep.Before making a movie, please watch a whole bunch of great movies and ask yourself, "Can I make one remotely as good? Do I understand framing, editing, pacing, tension?" If the makers of MTE had asked these (the answer was NO!), it would have saved everyone a lot of time.

When I happened across this on Amazon video, I decided "Sure, let's watch a terrible scifi flick". I promptly informed my room mate, who loves terrible movies, and I started up the movie.First impression was "wtf?" which incited some laughter, when the main character subsequently responds with "wtf?"The first interaction between the two main characters was surprisingly acceptable. It actually felt like real people talking to each other. Unfortunately, this ended up raising expectations. Expectations which were promptly dashed.This film has zero flow, massive holes in the story and plot, and I'm fairly certain that at least one scene was edited into the wrong place. The story has no substance or investment, and merely happens. Not much at all happens in a realistic or natural way. Most of the dialog is dreadfully bad, to the point that some scenes felt like random words were thrown at the page until a word count was met.There is no depth to any of the characters, and many of the characters just show up out of nowhere, add nothing to the scene, and feel entirely like set dressing. It's as though someone thought "There's not enough movement happening in the background, we should put something there to keep people's attention."At times the movie feels like it is taking itself WAY too seriously. like this was going to be the next 2001 or something, then at other times, it feels intentionally bad. This is precisely the kind of movie that makes me think "How come I'm not making movies? I can do better than this at least."The effects are particularly bad. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect much from these low budget sci fi movies that have become so prolific in recent times as a result of cheap CG effects that literally 10 year olds can get into now, but this was on a whole new level of bad. I would be ashamed of myself if I ever let anyone see something like this with my name on it. Actually, that might be why I don't make movies... I'm terrible at CGI.Finally, the acting is typically terrible for a low budget film. Honestly, the acting was probably the best part of the film, as bad as the acting was. I just hope that nobody was expecting this to be their big break or anything.Bottom line, if you're into terrible B movie scifi, you might get a kick out of this, but there is better terrible movies out there. I would never pay to watch this, but it it's free, most people might still find it overpriced.
