Shark Side of the Moon

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.

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 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!

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.
