This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Let's be realistic.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This would be a poor first episode of a new TV series but they are calling it a movie?! How can this be considered a movie if it ends suddenly and unexpectedly?The story line is confusing and unfinished! The odd moments supposedly humorous are appalling, and the love in the air scenes seem written by a child. The only positive side is the exploration of the moon as a scenery but we are let down by everything else.As it is (without a sequel that would have to be a great one to make sense of all of this) I don't think it is worth watching.

From 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.

This 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.

I generally do not write a spoiler but I think people really need to be warned in advance about this one. I will tell you up front that the movie may well be worth watching as the prime example of how to make a move and how not to make a movie. This is a great movie and a terrible movie at the same time.That is why it is a 5 and not a 1 or a 9. The actors were very good half the time and very bad half the time. The script was very good half the time and very bad half the time. The special effects were very good half the time and very bad half the time. It seemed like every type of element you could think about that you would rate a movie on was good half the time and bad half the time. I wonder if in reality, part was made in Canada and part in Japan. And if they had a very experienced director half the time and a new to the business one the other half of the time. There were parts that I couldn't wait to see what would happen next and parts where I would actually shake my head as to how silly or strange or stupid it was about what was going on. It often felt like they were inserting things that were very advanced and yet other things that were back in the Jurassic period. And yes, there is a mechanical T-Rex in the movie. Probably what made it so noticeable was that it often seemed like it was on some sort of schedule where you run 10 minutes of good and then 10 minutest of bad and go back and forth. I could spend 10,000 words on why this movie is not the great sci-fi movie that it could have been, but I think I have beat up on it enough. I should mention though that unless you are a speed reader, the Russian translation to English of the words on the screen are far far to fast for the average person. And there is so much of it that I got tired of pushing the pause button so I could read it and just read the first few words that I could catch. But the end destroyed it for me. You know how they end movies sometime with the strongest of indication that a sequel is almost for sure in production. Well, they never got to that. Basically the movie ended before the end. I am not sure what happened. I checked my clocks (more than one). I checked the run time of the movie. I even thought it was chapter one or a TV series. So exactly how bad was the ending. It was so bad that this comment is most IMPORTANT that it . . . . . . . . . . . (thus my review is complete just like the movie was)
