An absolute waste of money

A Major Disappointment

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I suppose, no ever taught the "director" what continuity was. In spite of the fact there were several "well known" actors in this summer camp play, it just didn't make it. It was so disjointed I suppose the "director" was trying to be Quentin Tarantino. It didn't work. It was so bad, at one point the main male character was killed by the bad guy's black helicopter, then a second later the female "wakes up" and we see that it was a dream,. That he didn't die. Then a few minutes later the guy is dead again, for real. When did that happen? Maybe the "directer" was trying to make a really bad 40's B or D movie? If that's the case, then he did a good job of it.

Just kidding. I didn't stay with it long enough to fall asleep.Before making a movie, please watch a whole bunch of great movies and ask yourself, "Can I make one remotely as good? Do I understand framing, editing, pacing, tension?" If the makers of MTE had asked these (the answer was NO!), it would have saved everyone a lot of time.

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.

This is the first movie in years that get a sub 5 stars from me...It has a good premise, but execution is beyond bad...First I thought it would look/feel like a Doctor Who episode... Man I was wrong! Acting is very poor, very forced... that assassin woman was the worst... but even the best one was very boring...That scene where the guy gets shot in the back by the helicopter and then she "wakes up", meaning it was a dream... Nope, next thing she is sobbing at some dinner... tell all you need to know about the awful editing...I've watched the Moontrap from 1988 and was way better than this crap...this one compares to a similar movie called High Moon (2014 TV Movie), but that one was at least "so bad it's good" and interesting...This shitty movie is awful and one must not watch it, it was very painful to watch but I forced myself to finish it even though it was very painful! 4/10 because I've seen even worse, but any sub5 is loosing time!
