Shark Side of the Moon

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.

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 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...
