This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is bad; not "so bad it is good" , just bad. Script, plot, acting, effects, timing; all unforgivably bad. It's like a parody of the kind of movie that an actor who is already famous does, where they want to play the lead, after gaining fame being a supporting actor. Walter's agent must have hated him for letting do this turkey. Why all the pauses before lines? Was the sheer awkwardness of the script giving them pause for thought or had the director just read it in a book? This movie might come in useful if you work for the secret service of your country and you need to torture information out of a suspect. Forget about thumbscrews, electricity and water boarding; this should do the trick. I should imagine you won't even need to wait until the credits; they will tell you what you want to know much sooner than that; although subtitles will help....

I had me some fun revisiting MOONTRAP the other day. Had not seen it since my teen-days. A small but ambitious sci-fi/horror film about a race of robotic aliens hidden on the dark side of the moon, occupying themselves since ages with building a giant mother-ship - that thing was huge! - to invade earth and using human bodies for spare-parts (VIRUS with Jamie Lee Curtis, anyone?). A weird film altogether with a lot of great and some not-so-great special effects, including nifty looking miniatures. Starring none less than Walter Koenig (from the original STAR TREK series) and Bruce Campbell, who's acting his way very inappropriately through this film, like if he was convinced he was doing another EVIL DEAD film. Can't really call this a great film, with its pacing problems and illogical goings-on, but it was a blast seeing it again.

What the heck was that! To quote from a few other reviews:"the cinematography is good" Do what!? maybe it was the awful copy I saw but the camera work was shaky to say the least. "I really thought the special effects were outstanding" You must have seen a different film to me. When the orbiter is attacked you could almost picture the string being cut on the model!Leigh Lombardi gets naked"strangely humorous", yes I smiled openly at how far fetched things got.Leigh Lombardi gets her kit off"You just can't help but watch all of "Moontrap"." Must agree wholeheartedly here, I carried on watching in case it got better - it didn't!Leigh Lombardi disrobed"Cheesy", Yes, you got that right, it's cheesier than a cheesy thing made out of 100% solid Cheddar!Leigh Lombardi in the buffwhat a waste of 92 minutes of my life - still, I put the laundry on and sorted my socks so my time wasn't entirely wasted.By the way, did I mention - Leigh Lombardi? Hence 2* and not 1*

~Spoiler~I love Walter Koenig. I love Bruce Campbell. However, neither Chekov nor the Chin could save this one. It's about a mission to the moon to uncover a secret robot army that's preparing to invade the earth. It's just a bad movie. You can start to tell right at the beginning. The main downer: Bruce "The Penetrator" Campbell dies in this one. He gets a couple of one-liners but nothing too special. I've started to notice that he always seems to die in movies that start with M. We've got Maniac Cop 2, Mindwarp, Mennos Mind, and now this. It's a conspiracy I tell ya. I've also noticed that Chekov is hairy, like Robin Williams hairy. He does do a good William Shatner impression though. The 1998 Jamie Lee Curtis flick, Virus, owes a lot to this movie. Too bad it sucked too.
