Matt Donato Bloody Disgusting There’s no escaping the abysmal trademarks of The Asylum’s buffoonery on a budget method, which will still probably please its intended audience Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Ronnie L One of the best films I have ever watched, people say fight club or the god father films are the best but if you ask me, shark side of the moon masterpiece of cinema Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Tom T It’s Tremors on the Moon, maybe? Ok, maybe not. Clearly a Si-Fi original in the making tho. Who the hell knew algae grown in the absence of light is the most powerful thing know to man/shark-kind. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Olivia M Have you ever wanted to rip every single hair out of your head? well look no further!! this movie is the perfect watch. theyve got it all from baddie shark hybrids witch absolue racks to devistating death scenes (rip papa). sure to leave you on the edge of your seats. will not disappoint!!! #needasequalrightnow Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Audience Member Let me just start with WOW! Perhaps my new favourite movie. The cinematography, script, and editing were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Literally! They were on the moon hahahahhah 😆! Shark Side of the Moon is the type of movie that NEEDS a prequel and 3 sequels. The prequel must explain WHY they made the sharks and the events that lead to them escaping. The sequels have to go indepth to the uprising of sharks. This movie was the perfect allegory for why human kind shouldn't experiment with mutations such as shark human hybrids who can speak Russian and can't die who were made for war. *spoilers from this point* The beginning contains cinematography that is just beautiful, some of the best I've ever seen. And this just continues throughout. The subtle foreshadowing towards the sharks being on the moon and speaking Russian was just incredible and really took some thought to get. The story with Sergei and Akula was heartwrenching. Their father-daughter bond was something I can only dream of. It made me wish I was half shark half human </3. There were absolutely zero questions I had that weren't awnsered. How did Henri survive the explosion + walking across the moon with no helmet? How did the sharks learn to speak English? Why does algae make them breathe on the moon? Why can sharks breathe on the moon? Why did they launch the sharks onto the moon instead of just in space to have them die? Why was there enough gravity on the moon so that they could fall from a space ship? HOW DID THEY SURVIVE GETTING BLOWN OFF THE MOON INSIDE A GIANT WHALE SHARK THING? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE MOON BLOWS UP???? Well you've got to watch to find out! Furthermore the sharks were very attractive 😍 The leader shark had the body I wish I had. Long, slender fingers. Hunched over neck. Just stunning. To conclude my review, this was the best thing I'd ever watched, I laughed when I was supposed to, cried at the deaths, really felt connected with the humans, and felt sympathy for the sharks. I really hope this becomes a series. <3 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Jai C The sexual tension between the sharks and the moon was gripping Truely thrilling Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review K C HEAR ME OUT! the baddie shark (Tzarina Selah) was kinda...😩🥵🦈 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
