Just kidding. I didn't stay with it long enough to fall asleep.Before making a movie, please watch a whole bunch of great movies and ask yourself, "Can I make one remotely as good? Do I understand framing, editing, pacing, tension?" If the makers of MTE had asked these (the answer was NO!), it would have saved everyone a lot of time.

As of this moment, Moontrap is ranking 73-up to 15-down from YouTube viewers. While not a great or very good movie, it is way better than a cargo ship of bad movies one can watch. These people reviewing at IMDB must've been expecting a blockbuster and got knocked over by the less than star-power big-budget directing product. But it's a perfectly fine clearly presented outcome. And the acting is okay too. Plus the added benefit of a plot that has not already been done to death.The soundtrack is quite professional, neither hokey or overdone. The lead actress carries her role. And the bad guy gets the job done as well.One issue that does often fail for me is when supporting actors are given lead roles in certain lower-budget films. There seems to be a disappointment in realizing they are unable to carry a scene. Strangely though, the same exact performance would probably be just fine from a different face, an unknown actor. Maybe that's because we've seen the supporting actors next to bigger talent and get reminded of that powerful screen presence because of seeing only the supporter, not the larger figure he has been in scenes with during other movies. I would advise producers for that reason to not put supporting actors in lead roles. It's just about money anyway, playing on the name for box office. That gamble might fail due to the psychological effect just mentioned.Okay, so remove expectations coming in. You get a perfectly worthy background movie for letting play while dusting or looking at cameras on eBay. And plenty of scenes are worth glancing over to see what is accompanying the sound.Anyway, I have no reviewing skill but wanted to jump in to correct what looks to me like an injustice done to a nice little movie done fairly well by a cast and crew of people who no doubt put their heart into the project.

I will watch almost anything. So I started with an open mind. I give 5- 7 stars for originality, ambition, and commitment for the movie. Location and set were OK, 4-5. CGI and effects, 3-5. I hate to even score them for poor effects-not everyone has million $ budget. It seemed like they had a decent film crew and editing staff. I would give the actors 5-7 for their work - some better than others. The acting for the most was fair. But there was just too much of an awkwardness at scene endings that kept seeming to get more pronounced and irritating. I believe the story/script & direction caused this to go off the rails quickly. So ultimately, for everything combined (and I couldn't finish) - it's a 2 for me.

I watched this movie 3 days ago, from anticipatory beginning to completely baffled end. Can someone please remind me of the premise and/or the plot of this film, as I've have totally forgotten.I was so bored by the end, I don't even remember the robots that other reviewers talk about. Seriously!I do remember a scene or two, involving a gallery of blurred outlines of some people supposedly in charge of something, but that's about all I remember. Honest ......
