Excellent writing, wonderful direction, and incredible performances. From the moment that Simon Applewhite shakily begins to explain the Morgon (moon-dwelling people) invasion, to the marvelous ending (which I won't give away), I was riveted. Pale Blue Moon is that odd film that completely avoids that. One of the nagging worries that I have any time that I sit down to watch a feature-length independent film is that it will drag its feet or not catch my interest until it's already half-finished. A film about the unreal realities that abound through our universe, Pale Blue Moon will take you on a trip you'll never forget. John Lefsburg is faced with the decision to either stop Simon or to believe in him. He decides to kidnap the goddaughter of the man he believes to be the ambassador of the aliens before she too is infected. Simon believes he was infected by the creatures when he was young. No one believes Simon, least of all John Lefsburg, the detective in charge of taking Simon to the mental ward. He is arrested in Giddings, Texas, while tampering with a radio tower in an effort to block alien communication to the moon. Under the pressure Simon Applewhite is coming undone. These aliens, Mor-gons or Moonies, are staging an invasion to take over the human race. They always come in threes, never twos, never fours and under no condition do they ever come alone. Here's my synopsis: From the dark side of the moon, they came for him. This movie is one of those rare movies you can watch over and over again. My rating of the 2002 movie "Pale Blue Moon" lands on a two out of ten stars. And it is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you rush out to dig up somewhere to give it a view. Nay, "Pale Blue Moon" was a swing and miss. In fact, parts of the movie were just filmed so shoddy that it felt like amateur night with a video camera. Visually then "Pale Blue Moon" offers virtually nothing worthwhile of any sorts. I am sure that the acting performances were good enough, given the material that the actors and actresses had to work with which was limiting to say the least. And little did it help that the written dialogue was just rubbish. I didn't connect with a single of the characters in the movie, and I didn't really find any of them enjoyable to watch on the screen. The characters in this movie were just laughable. Now, what made the movie crash and burn was the character gallery. I didn't really buy into the storyline and thus it was a struggle to sit through the ordeal that is "Pale Blue Moon". To me, this storyline was not entertaining, enjoyable or particularly enticing. But I must admit that I was expecting a bit more fun and laughs than what writer and director Mark Hosack could manage to deliver. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into here, as I sat down in 2021 to watch the 2002 sci-fi comedy "Pale Blue Moon". Title (Brazil): "O Extermínio" ("The Extermination") The idea of an abused boy that has a distorted view of reality is not bad, but the screenplay, performances and camera work are terrible and painful to watch. "Pale Blue Moon" is an amateurish and boring garbage with annoying characters and situations. Along his journey with Simon, Detective Lefsburg learns the truth about the Moonies. Simon escapes from John and kidnaps the goddaughter of Frank. Along their troubled journey, Simon tells that the powerful Frank Coen (Thurman Moss) is the ambassador of the aliens. Detective John Lefsburg (Johnny Sneed), who lost his daughter and has an unbalanced wife, is assigned to take Simon to a mental institution in Madison. Further, they can be identified through their right nipples. People should not look them in the eyes and the aliens communicate to the moon using the radio tower. Moonies that always come in threes, never in twos or fours or alone, from the dark side of the moon. He tells that he was abducted when he was a child by the aliens Morgons a.k.a. In Gibbings, Texas, the delusional Simon Applewhite (Íce Mrozek) is interrogated by two detectives and he tells nonsense sentences about an alien invasion.
