“Great, another movie churned out by The Asylum. And yeah, I have to admit that when I saw those two words on the screen – The Asylum – my expectations to the movie went from slim to none. Yet, I opted to watch this 2022 sci-fi movie because I hadnu0026#39;t already seen it. And while I didnu0026#39;t expect anything from writers Lauren Pritchard and Joe Roche, chances were that u0026quot;Moon Crashu0026quot; might actually be a fair enough disaster and end of the world movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut it wasnu0026#39;t…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Moon Crashu0026quot; is your archetypical end of the world type of movie where a small group of people race against the clock and beating impossible odds and save the world just in the last minute. Yeah, it was exactly that kind of generic rubbish. So if you have seen just about any other movie with large stellar objects hurling towards Earth with impending doom for mankind, then you have already essentially seen u0026quot;Moon Crashu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline told in u0026quot;Moon Crashu0026quot; was generic and predictable, and it was rather mundane and slow paced too. And I actually drifted off in the middle of the ordeal, so I canu0026#39;t exactly say that whatever happened on the screen was compelling or riveting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characters and dialogue in the movie was every bit as wooden, rigid and generic as the storyline, so at least that went hand in hand. And it wasnu0026#39;t exactly a cast ensemble with a whole lot of top billing names. I was familiar with Tyler Christopher and Jeremy London, and that was it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVisually then u0026quot;Moon Crashu0026quot; wasnu0026#39;t actually bad. The special effects and CGI definitely were a notch upward from the usual dubious special effects that The Asylum has been pumping out for years. So that was an improvement. But special effects could do only so little to salvage the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Moon Crashu0026quot; is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal so you donu0026#39;t have to. If you enjoy disaster movies, then there are far better choices readily available out there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of u0026quot;Moon Crashu0026quot;, from director Noah Luke, lands on a generous three out of ten stars.”
