This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

*Spoiler/plot- Moon Zero Two, 1969. The male lead character has an impressive NASA history in this film. Ever since having made his mark on history by being the first man to ever land on Mars, William H. Kemp has seen his life slowly slide downwards. He has gone from major fame and fortune to just hanging around a Western-like saloon/bar on the Moon at the saloon, he has been living on his faded past exploits in this Moon the lunar community. He's depressed how things have changed. He feels largely disgusted by how a commercial company (Space Corruption) wants to leave true space exploration behind, now to only focus on commercial space travel to make more corporation money. This X-captain Kemp decides to take up the new disagreeable job of being a space scrap metal seeker and collector. He thinks to collect them and sell them off. Returning to the Moon saloon after doing his recent round of picking up scrap parts from rusted space ships and satellites, Kemp runs into a newly arrived eccentric evil billionaire. The eccentric gives Kemp the tantalizing offer of helping him to collect a unique space asteroid made entirely of expensive sapphire materials and bring it down to the Moon. Also Kemp finds a beautiful new visitor to the Moon in the saloon, who is looking for her long missing brother doing Moon mining. Kemp tries to help her find her brother at his moon claim. *Special Stars- James Olsen, Catherine Schell, Adrienne Corri, Ori Levy, Warren Mitchel, Bernad Breeslaw.*Theme- When you loose your ethics, you loose everything. *Trivia/location/goofs- British. Watch for the many British sci-fi film production elements that will be used in other films and TV shows like 'Space 1999' and 'UFO'. The film takes place in 2021. This movie was described by the producers and director as a "western in space", complete with claim jumpers, showdown-type gunfights, a hired gunslinger and even dancing saloon girls. When Clementine discovers the skeleton of her brother in his space suit, a bone-cut suture line can clearly be seen separating the top half of the skull above the brow showing it to be a skull with a removable top (a medical class specimen). When Capt. Kemp and Miss Taplin are bulldozing a shortcut to get back to Moon City in a moon rover, you can clearly see it's really a miniature vehicle being pulled by a thin string. *Emotion- This is a watchable film for many reasons. It's unique in it's attempt to be a 'Western in Space'. It has gunfights, dance-hall girls, mining claims, bar fights, and claim jumping. It has all the essentials. But the film also has some top-notch science fiction set designs, special effects, and costumes & props & make-up. So this film is very confusing to the audience viewer. I still give it a thumbs-up. *Based On- NASA Moon landing hysteria and popular space based sci-fi film box-office successes.

"Moon zero two" does not deserve such a low rating ;it is very entertaining ,its screenplay -which sometimes looks like a sci -fi western: the "saloon" and the 'gold digger " brother - is never dull;it even displays some humor :the "Moonopoly" is a very good idea! The two plots -although implausible- are smartly connected.The special effects are not bad for the time ,considering a relatively low budget.Actually it could be a comic ,a Flash Gordon adventure ;if you are looking for "2001" ,you 'd better move on ;but if you simply want to have a good time,you can watch it.The only real horror is the cartoon of the cast and credits and an awful song.

After watching this movie, I realized I don't remember a thing about it. All I remember is the soundtrack, and boy is it a soundtrack.This movie takes everything bad about every sci-fi and mashes it together with overacting and cheap special effects. The result is something almost close to a masterpiece in B-movie cinema, but not exactly. For one, the Jazz steals the show, for two, the style of the movie was obviously inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey but is also obviously inspired from the 60s, and finally, it's just bizarre. This movie's got exotic dance scenes, a low-gravity bar fight, a complicated plot that you don't care about, space shootouts, bowler hat villain, tough guy hero, useless heroine, and bad haircuts. What else can I say? Oh yeah, scientific background is essentially non-existent, but who cares? This is a great movie to watch if you want to teach yourself what NOT to do in a sci-fi story; it's also featured on a great episode on Mystery Science Theater 3000. In my opinion, that's the better choice.I have no idea what the title means....

First saw it when I was 12 and it has a place in my heart still after all these years; unlike a lot of other movies I enjoyed as a kid but can't stand today like "Battle of the Bulge" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark".Anyway, back to the movie. Today, it's the kitsch value that I really like, I mean, there's something incredibly cute and sexy about 60's women in futuristic garb. There is a conflict in the movie about the tone; is it a sci-fi thriller with action and danger, or a tongue in cheek effort (with Moonopoly even)? The effects are good in some areas and really poor in others; but apart from 2001 you can say that about most sci fi films of that era. It shares something else with 2001 that other more famous sci-fi movies don't and that's no sound in a vacuum. Full credit to the film makers that they paid attention to their science. In fact, the movie script has some basis in real science about conditions on the moon and in space (groovy sequence of a spacesuit puncture causing the crushing of a hired goon). So we have no noise in a vacuum, but do they give us just silence? No, they fill the soundtrack with what can be only described as the kind of music known as Porno-Jazz. No matter, I actually like that kind of stuff. C'mon everyone "Moooooooonnnnnn Zero Twooooo, let's all go to the Moon nowwwwwwwwwwwww, Mooooooooonnnnnnnn Zero Twoooooooooo".
