Argentinian scientists have found out that the moon has been causing a great deal of natural disasters of late, but since the rest of the world don't believe this theory, the Argentinians have arrived at the conclusion to send a secret missin to outer space to bombard and blow up the moon. But the mission even starts off under a bad moon (excuse the pun): First one of the missiles to blow up the moon won't launch, then the spaceship is plagued by all sorts of malfunctions, and then the three astronauts get into a fight which ultimately leads to astronauts Esteban  (Alejandro Urdapilleta) and Silvia (Alejandra Fechner) throwing their commander (Gabriel Goity) out of the spaceship to let him float in space forever.

Of course, all the glitches in the system and interpersonal troubles are caused by the moon which is not half as dead as one might think, and soon an alien (Horacio Fontova) arrives on the spaceship, an alien that resembles your typical Latin American womanizer way too much for comfort - and Silvia falls for him in no time and ties Esteban up when he tries to warn her. Somehow, Esteban manages to free himself and fight and defeat the alien, who then leaves this plane of existence together with Silvia ... which is when the commander of the spaceship returns from his spacewalk rather unexpectedly - but the experience has made him a changed man, calm to the point of apathy, friendly to the point of being annoying, and his eyes are full of nothing - so when a missile from the UN approaches to shoot down the moon-destroyer, he just does nothing, no evasive action, no nothing - and our moon mission goes up in a crash.

 

I like the concept of this film, and its first few minutes are vaguely reminiscent of John Carpenter's Dark Star, which is never a bad sign - and then the film quickly deteriorates from being a subtle sci fi comedy into being a loud-mouthed Latin American genre farce that lacks all nuances and always goes for cheap jokes. Sure, there are a few slightly amusing sightgags here and there, including an outer space musical number, but overall this is just a stupid and irrelevant comedy based on a clever concept, or in other words, a film you don't really need to see.
