High Moon (2014)

Great Film overall

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

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.

actually with great effort after the first ten minutes. It was right then, that I realized it was intended to be a satiric film mocking the science fiction movies, and though I had already suspected that it was doing so in a most naive, awkward and uninspired way I thought I should give it the chance to prove that it was something better than this. Well I could stand it for another twenty minutes before deciding that I shouldn't add the cost of wasting my time to the cost of the renting fees I had paid for it. So I just gave it up! I am still trying to understand why this film was made. It is such a bore, such a senseless thing (I don't say "trash" out of respect for the makers who obviously had something different in mind when they went for it), such a cheap nonsense! Well, I may be naive and senseless myself and this may be the reason I cannot give it the credits some other viewers think it deserves presenting this crap almost as a masterpiece, yet, as a fanatic and experienced cinefil( movie fan),this is the last film I would ever recommend to you. Test me if you dare!

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)
