Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

edlc1970 To say it short. A utterly waste of time. Its not even worth the effort to start viewing this crap

Randal As of this moment, Moontrap is ranking 73-up to 15-down from YouTube viewers. While not a great or very good movie, it is way better than a cargo ship of bad movies one can watch. These people reviewing at IMDB must've been expecting a blockbuster and got knocked over by the less than star-power big-budget directing product. But it's a perfectly fine clearly presented outcome. And the acting is okay too. Plus the added benefit of a plot that has not already been done to death.The soundtrack is quite professional, neither hokey or overdone. The lead actress carries her role. And the bad guy gets the job done as well.One issue that does often fail for me is when supporting actors are given lead roles in certain lower-budget films. There seems to be a disappointment in realizing they are unable to carry a scene. Strangely though, the same exact performance would probably be just fine from a different face, an unknown actor. Maybe that's because we've seen the supporting actors next to bigger talent and get reminded of that powerful screen presence because of seeing only the supporter, not the larger figure he has been in scenes with during other movies. I would advise producers for that reason to not put supporting actors in lead roles. It's just about money anyway, playing on the name for box office. That gamble might fail due to the psychological effect just mentioned.Okay, so remove expectations coming in. You get a perfectly worthy background movie for letting play while dusting or looking at cameras on eBay. And plenty of scenes are worth glancing over to see what is accompanying the sound.Anyway, I have no reviewing skill but wanted to jump in to correct what looks to me like an injustice done to a nice little movie done fairly well by a cast and crew of people who no doubt put their heart into the project.

RoboRabbit89 Let me get right to it, this film is really low budget. But honestly I still liked it, I have yet to see the first film. I consider this one a guilty pleasure.I mean, it wasn't going to be better than the first film, most sequels aren't as good as the their predecessors but this has potential. What I mean by that is, this sort of sets up for more. ( At least it felt that way.)I honestly would like to see more stories to this little universe, I wouldn't mind If Sarah Butler's character came back in future sequels. For me, Sarah Butler made this film watchable, and to be honest I was only seeing it for her. I mean, I know it's bad but I kinda liked it, Sarah made this film fun, at least for me. I know it's corny but I'm OK with that. My only quip with this sequel is it didn't have enough action scenes, not a whole lot, but at least a little more than it did.Overall, I liked it, I give it a 4/10. It's not a great sequel by any means, but it was kinda fun for what it is. Sarah Butler was good in it, and I hope to see more sequels to this soon. Maybe the next film can be an invasion of earth?

Jesse Felt 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.
