5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, December 25, 2003

This review is from: Moontrap [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Let me clarify...amzingly CHEESE! This is a movie I saw NUMEROUS times in 89 I think. That was back in the day of the digital video stabiliser, two VCR's and an RCA cable. Get the picture? ANYWAY, I must have seen this film 200 times! Koeing is putting forth the best dead-pan performance of his career! It really showed just how good of an actor he is. His inadvertant (or In your FACE) caracture of his friend Bill Shatner is CLASSIC! No he dosen't do a direct imitation of a certian famous (or infamous) starship captain, but I caught a LOT of the Shatneresque overacting!

Bruce Campbell is in his prime form in this film. His role is just HILARIOUS! He really shows that our favorite grocery clerk is better as an astronaut. Hey, I'd fly in space with him!

This film has it all! Classic Sci-Fi feel, a unique story( Virus was a ripoff of this film), plastic UZI's, inflatible tents, 14,000 year old corpses, and the like. This is a perfect movie to just hit the floor laughing while you wizz in your pants! Definetly worth the time it will take to find this vid.

Unless the release it on DVD. THAT IS A BIG HINT YOU GOOBERS!

3.0 out of 5 stars Strong cast lift this mediocre sci-fi flick, September 10, 2001

By 

Candace (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moontrap [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Same-old, same-old" plot of aliens seeking to take over Earth and the heroes of the film who must stop the invasion make this low-budget sci-fi hard to swallow. But a strong cast (Star Trek's Walter Koenig and everyone's "B" movie favorite, Bruce Campbell) help lift the movie above its ho-hum existence and is, at least, worth a peek. Koenig and Campbell are astronauts who land on the moon to check out the possibility of alien life. What they find are self-thinking machines bent on hitching a ride in their spacecraft back to Earth to take over the planet, and they must do everything they can to stop them. Some plot holes and unnecessary sequences in the film are chalked up to a weak script, but Koenig has a strong presence in the film and Campbell shines as his partner, stretching his successful acting versatility that much further.

4.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT PREMISE AND STORY!!!, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Moontrap [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The special effects range from excellent to cheezy. (Fortunately the good effects tend to outweigh the worse ones) The dialogue could have been a little better and more natural but it was still pretty good anyway. This movie is still a gem though. It was well thought out overall.This is one of the few movies that deals with a self replicating probe (A Von Neuman device) run amok. The female actor is exoticly beautiful and plays the part well. If you like this movie you will also like: Star Trek II; Wrath of Khan, Saturn 3, Hangar 18, The Blob (new), The Thing (new) and especially the new movie 'Virus' Moontrap is a nice addition to any sci-fi video library!
