Shockwave Darkside Trailers

The nano-plague that poisoned Earth’s water supply has reached its 60-year critical mass. The Unlight enemy forced the first exodus to the moon where the outlawed banished population was supposed to die. But now the Unlights have launched from Earth and are amassing on the south-west sector of the darkside of the moon for a massive ice-mining operation. It will be the last Great War and lunar troops are sent into battle for the precious resource. However one squad is shot down and the five surviving soldiers find themselves stranded. Cut off and behind enemy lines, they start a dangerous journey through snipers and minefields back to their extraction point with only 36 hours of oxygen left. As their numbers dwindle and nerves fray, they make an amazing discovery about Earth’s satellite that just might save their lives. From THE BANSHEE CHAPTER producers comes a space shocker with gravity.

Reviews
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Reservoir Dogs It seems that others comments are just fake haters and fake lovers Because how it can be just 1 stars and just 9-10 stars ? and nothing in between ?So let's speak about this ... what i call an ... essay ?Is the movie interesting ? No, it is even very boringAre the actors bad ? Not so, not good sure, but not as bad as asylum movies, they are at least better.The story , which one ? oh yes they was a story ... somewhere, hum ... no, i do not even recall why they are fighting .. just at the end (2mn before the end) they discover that the moon was displaced by a nuke millions years ago .... seriously ??? and ... that's all !!! 1h30mn for that ....Are the special effects good ? may be, back in the 60's they might be excellent, but nowadays not at all.
kosmasp And I'm not talking about "how bad the movie is" or me watching this was awful or worst ... ever scenarios. I've seen worse movie, that's not it. But I have never seen anything and talked to people after that, where no one ... let me write that get again -> NO ONE(!), not one single person, had anything good to say about the movie. This happened at Frightfest and if this movie won something, it was worst movie playing in 2014 at the Festival.Having said all that, I normally have a weak spot for movies that put a band of people together, preferably with different skills, diversity in general. One of the few things this almost succeeds in. One of the other being the science factor, where a friend of mine said, they got a couple of things right. But all is rendered useless, by an uninspired script, acting "wooden" (which is also attributed to the really bad costumes), bad effects that could be able to make you puke and a general disorientation at times. Which is even worse when it happens during action sequences. It's a shame, but this 3D experiment went completely off the rails .... not in a good way
steve-173-316979 This was a catastrophic new low in my film watching and cinema going life, easily the worst film I've ever seen and the first time I've walked out of a film at the cinema. For god sake, I even sat through Transformers 2!!An incomprehensible mess of a film with poor sound, pointless ill conceived 3D and a complete lack of plot, structure, anything. CGI reminiscent of my 80's Atari console which only helped confuse the viewer as to what was happening.The actors were stuck inside cardboard space helmets the entire films which meant any attempts they made to act were sadly thwarted by a script which was pure amateur hourI'd give it 0/10 if IMDb let me
mungflesh Shockwave Darkside 3D (as it was at the cinema) is unwatchable.The 3D had big issues; I kept fiddling with my glasses to see if the problem was on my end but nope, it was the movie.That aside, the story is non-existent, or at least well hidden. And another thing, the special effects were truly horrible. Think "The Last Starfighter" from 1984 and you might have an idea what I'm talking about, except that at least that movie was doing something new. Who cares if you could argue they look vaguely realistic, they looked crap, like a not so expensive video game. Even budget effects can look good or fitting, or at least fun. These were none of the above. Cold, stark and clinical like Tron (1982), but Tron was meant to look like a video game - this was probably not.But excluding all this, the acting was wooden and it was hard to recognize any of the characters, whose faces were obscured in ridiculous space suits.I walked out after twenty minutes because I couldn't take any more.To those who remained, I applaud you.
