I hate everything Hollywood does. But by the one hour mark I was no longer likely to blow off this movie; It had drawn me in and had made me concerned, and I worried that it would blow it's ending with approved-of cliches. It didn't. It is a small, deliberately paced movie (slow); such a relief after big budget blockbusters that don't have an idea intheir heads. Your review is a very nice set of observations.

I can't see the impact of the film being the same now. -_- They gave away the denouement in the trailer… as is Follywood’s wont of late. I can’t see the impact of the film being the same now. -_-

Seriously though, this movie sounds awesome I'll have to find it. I bet Silent Running could get a top billing if it weren’t boring as hell, just kidding.

Can Silent Running get some top-billing once in a while? That robot was cuter, plus it has Bruce Dern going certified bananas, plus it was written by Michael Cimino! I stand up in defense of crazy Bruce Dern in his underwear. Still, I want to see "Moon."
