This week we have a pretty cool sci-fi flick that really does a great job on a smaller budget. The aliens are pretty interesting where they make themselves bigger by using both spare mechanical parts as well as flesh parts from its victims, creating truly unique creature designs. Throw in Chekov from Star trek and Ash from Evil Dead, you can't really go wrong........
MOONTRAP (1989)
NASA astronauts encounter a damaged alien space craft while orbiting the moon and discover inside it a mysterious alloy shell as well as the skeletal remains of humanoid that carbon dates to 14000 years old. The shell hosts a hostile robotic species with an incredible intellect that can use pieces from whatever is lying around to create a body so it can move about.
After returning to earth, the robotic monster goes on a rampage, laser blasting military personnel and anyone else in its way. When it is finally subdued, the astronauts go back to the moon to see if there's any other signs of life. They find the remains of a once thriving alien civilization that has been reduced to rubble. What they don't realize is that the species which left the humanoids dead so long ago have waited for the right kind of parts needed to juice up their ship and attack Earth.
Walter Koenig (Star Trek's Mr. Chekov) and Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead) star in this very entertaining sci-fi B-movie. Wacky, gory, and strangely humorous, it is also has impressive recreations of various equipment associated with NASA which is a testament to what you can do with ingenuity and creativity on a tight budget.
