Eye popping special effects and slick editing make Moon Man an easy and entertaining watch.

The film playfully mashes together a number of sci-fi cinema tropes found in films such as Armaggedon, The Martian and Independance Day 2 (but without the aliens).

Shen Teng. Plays an engineer assigned to maintain a moon base set up to save the Earth from a massive meteorite. Teng is engaging as the stranded astronaut, Dugu Yue, who can do nothing but watch on in horror as meteor fragments hit the Earth.

Contacted by survivors, he is set up as an inspirational figure, a role he eventually fulfills. As time passes. Yue must contend with a large Red Kangeroo left behind by research scientists and the knowledge that only the creature and he stand between Earth and an extinction level event.

The film is thoroughly entertaining, balancing, as it does, humour and drama. There is a space romance beteen. Dugu. Yue (Teng ), and. Ma Lanxing (played by. Ma Li.) and, comedically., the Kangeroo.

Check it out if you can.

I didn't expect to like this movie, but it was actually very fun to watch.

It felt like it was on the brink of being unfunny, but still remained funny, which is much more than most movies that I've seen this year. This movie also was moving, but it did feel a bit blown out of proportion.

I actually enjoyed all the stuff with Kong, which i expected to be extremely annoying and stupid.

It was just a fun little movie to watch, that may feel extremely long. For some reason, this film felt like it was like 3 hours long, which was fine, since it was an enjoyable experience.

I would give this a 7/10.
