Review of Moontrap

Moontrap (1988)
6/10
A great sci fi idea hurt by low budget
26 August 2000
This is a case of a movie where I found the premise to be quite interesting, but it just couldn't survive a very low budget, plot holes, poor special effects, and, I hate to say it, bad acting, even on the part of veteran Walter Koenig, who should have done better. The movie left me unsatisfied. Where did the ancient astronauts come from? Where they ancient egyptians? If so, Koenig's girlfreind didn't look very egyptian. How come the robots didn't kill the girl in stasis? Why did NASA even dream of using and obsolete Apollo capsule in the 1980's? As I say, quite a few plot holes. Still, the movie held my interest despite all this, so I give it a 6.
