I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreThere are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreSo... I have no idea why it's not anywhere in IMDb but apparently Hgh Moon intention was to be a TV series. And that actually explains quite a bit about this "TV movie".I'm happy they used the footage for something. But the end result is not the best. Too much squeezed in and at the same time not enough. And then it ends... without a real ending. You get an answer about what's going on with the moon, but little else. Personally I wouldn't have minded seeing more.
... View MoreThe movie started mediocre and then descended to worse until I couldn't take anymore.If they had set the story on a planet with gravity, then it may have made more sense. The ridiculous costumes/explanations would have been unnecessary. The viewer must not have been what the movie had in mind. The story was being told at you from the perspective of here it is, totally believable, don't think or pay attention at all.If you are texting, talking on the cell phone, and/or on the internet while the movie is playing; then the movie might be OK.The suspension of disbelief is an essential important element in any story. A better story draws you in and makes you want to see more.
... View MoreFrom the first scene, I got the winks that director sent at us: This is a caper in genre of old space comedies and new/retro styling of Mad Men. You really have to have a sense of humor to enjoy it, and a good martini on your side table would not hurt either. The dialog dips into all rich clichés from detective noir flicks from 60's, then quotes the optimistic space "future" of 50's, only to let the plot twist its ankles on new age cynicism. I really think that at times that art of "quote" reached the level of Star Trek Next Generation scenes on Holodeck. I loved, loved, loved retro styling and settings! Practically every scene had a morsel for architects, interior and fashion designers, and movie critics with the eye on mid twenty century nostalgia. I loved that actors mostly embraced the new "old" style of dialog. I think that this movie will have a following, just like Serenity, so don't dis it yet. I gave it 8 for brave originality of trying to do exactly what it is supposed to do: entertain, and cut down on unnecessary heroics: I have already saved the word with my x-box, the day before. And yes, it calls for follow up series, so I really hope that networks will pick it up.
... View MoreThis was a delightful sci fi movie. Made for "TV".......I guess, considering that TV is produced almost as well as multi-million dollar high budget feature films these days. THis had humour as well as intrigue and mystery. Also there was an element of Marxist propaganda. The moon, as of course we all know, is hollow inside. The moon never changes rotation. THe moon is an old celestial planet that decayed on the outside long ago. Yet, humans still don't seem to remember the distant past when it was a flourishing life-pod used by our reptilian ancestors to make shipments of food and humans to the then-young Earth. Let us not forget the real origins of the moon. Let us not lose our Earth by mining away all its energy so that we have to look to the moon for our sustenance.
