Moon Crash

This is very bad. It's like an amateur dramatic disaster movie without a laugh in sight which could have made this tolerable. As usual each of the nobody actors appears to be reading the script for the first time and you can't really suspend disbelief to find any sense of escapism.

Just from the title of the movie you can tell it's trying to ride on name recognition of another movie coming out this year, Moonfall. That should tell you what this movie is.....cheap knock off. The disappointing part is just how cheap this knock off turned out to be.

As a sci-fi movie, the special effects scenes in it was so pathetically little that it makes Roger Corman films look like Star Wars. The acting was pretty bad but mostly on par with many low grade TV movie productions, filled with over acting and exaggerated lines of recent film school graduates. Even the extras were terrible. In a scene of a Pentagon meeting, none of the people seated at the meeting looked like they belong in a Pentagon meeting, especially the general. Camera angles were also bad. Very boring close-ups to hide the cheap staging of the scene everywhere.

There is just zero redeeming factor of this film. Don't even watch it to fall asleep.

Is this a wind up, like how many bad films can be released in the shortest amount of time?? I wanted to like it but it's just awful. Seriously don't waste your time... Housework would be more enjoyable.

Great, another movie churned out by The Asylum. And yeah, I have to admit that when I saw those two words on the screen - The Asylum - my expectations to the movie went from slim to none. Yet, I opted to watch this 2022 sci-fi movie because I hadn't already seen it. And while I didn't expect anything from writers Lauren Pritchard and Joe Roche, chances were that "Moon Crash" might actually be a fair enough disaster and end of the world movie.

But it wasn't...

"Moon Crash" is your archetypical end of the world type of movie where a small group of people race against the clock and beating impossible odds and save the world just in the last minute. Yeah, it was exactly that kind of generic rubbish. So if you have seen just about any other movie with large stellar objects hurling towards Earth with impending doom for mankind, then you have already essentially seen "Moon Crash".

The storyline told in "Moon Crash" was generic and predictable, and it was rather mundane and slow paced too. And I actually drifted off in the middle of the ordeal, so I can't exactly say that whatever happened on the screen was compelling or riveting.

The characters and dialogue in the movie was every bit as wooden, rigid and generic as the storyline, so at least that went hand in hand. And it wasn't exactly a cast ensemble with a whole lot of top billing names. I was familiar with Tyler Christopher and Jeremy London, and that was it.

Visually then "Moon Crash" wasn't actually bad. The special effects and CGI definitely were a notch upward from the usual dubious special effects that The Asylum has been pumping out for years. So that was an improvement. But special effects could do only so little to salvage the movie.

"Moon Crash" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal so you don't have to. If you enjoy disaster movies, then there are far better choices readily available out there.

My rating of "Moon Crash", from director Noah Luke, lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

I kind of liked the trailer. Every movie doesn't have to be a Zillion Dollar Box office Production. But everything about the actual movie was just so bad. None of the acting was realistic or believable. It was like they picked people off the street and shot it in one take. And the special effects? My grandkids do better special effects on their laptops. Still, I watched it all the way through which I often don't do on really bad one's. So I'm giving it a 3 star rating because it ever so slightly held my attention to the end. But I can't recommend it to others.
