Memorable, crazy movie

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Let me get to it,this movie was good and original, a little corny in places, but damn good non the less.Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell are great together and have good chemistry. I like how this is kinda like a buddy movie and a monster movie blended into one. And the space woman they find is very hot, I don't know her but she did a good job as well, especially being mute for most of it.I think this was well made for it's time, I think what works best about this is, it's high concept story and chemistry with it's characters, having never seen the movie before I think it has aged well, I also like that the movie released the year I was born.Overall, a well made film that is entertaining, and I hope to see more stories to this soon. Now I have seen "Moontrap: Target Earth" staring Sarah Butler, which described by the filmmakers is a stand alone sequel. I personally liked it, I seen that one first before this one and I can honestly say this movie is much better, but I still liked the sequel, it's a guilty pleasure of mine and so is this one.I give this one a 5/10. A cool, fun B-movie. Highly recommended.

MOONTRAP has the perfect genre cast: THE EVIL DEAD's Bruce Campbell and STAR TREK's Walter Koenig team up as a pair of astronauts who are busy investigating a robotic mystery on the surface of the Moon. That set-up sounds great, but in reality the execution turns out to be quite pedestrian; this has the look and feel of an Albert Pyun movie, say, rather than a 'proper', well made movie.It looks cheap and it is. About the only thing MOONTRAP has going for it are a series of robotic creations which are pretty good in a cheesy '80s kind of way. The animation is fairly decent, with some scenes bringing to mind the likes of ROBOCOP, but it's the story that also lets this one down. There's little to no scope here, just characters wandering around aimlessly and fighting repetitively.Campbell is given short shrift by the script and that awful haircut of his doesn't help. Koenig is, somewhat hilariously, playing a youthful hero type (his character appears to be at least 20 years younger than the actor), the sort of guy who gets the girl at the end, which is a little weird and unworkable. But really, there's not a lot going on here, especially for fans of the sci-fi genre who will have seen it all before.

As much as I think Bruce Campbell is cool, then it was just difficult to fully get into this movie and be entertained by it. It was cheesy to the point of being painful to bear witness to.The story is about astronauts Col. Jason Grant (played by Walter Koenig) and Ray Tanner (played by Bruce Campbell) who explore an abandoned space vessel and bringing back a several thousand year old corpse from space and a strange pod. The pod, however, contains a homicidal entity though and humans are such easy prey...Storywise, then the movie was campy, cheesy and too much off a rip-off of other more famous Sci-Fi movies, such as "Alien" to mention just one.For a movie of this particular caliber, then you know what you will get in terms of the acting talents and the script, and "Moontrap" does deliver what is expected of it."Moontrap" is boring, rather uneventful and not particularly enjoyable. And not even Bruce Campbell managed to save this train-wreck - or should I say space-wreck - of a movie.

I was really excited to get this movie since I saw John Cameron had produced it. It was dreadful. Cheesy, not scary, just dumb. I couldn't fathom it until I realized I had mistaken John Cameron for James Cameron. *slaps head*I have to write ten lines of text apparently. I was happy with the first paragraph but it won't let me submit without it.I'm sure this review is going to be as fulfilling as the movie.And here's another line. You know, once you start watching a bad movie like Moontrap, it's hard to stop watching it even though you're getting angry about the money you just wasted in the video store. No doubt it's much like this review that I'm forced to go on and on and on about. What a ridiculous policy. Haven't you heard of Twitter? There's a 140 character limit there and it works great.
