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 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.

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...
This movie was hilarious but not in the good ways. Only good thing it had goin was it made sharknado look like a goddamn masterpiece...............................................................................................................................................................................
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.
