Movie Reviews of Moon 44
Movie Review: Readily available in Widescreen 2.35:1 on UK region 2
Summary: 5 Stars
Whoa! I watched this film yesterday and I am still going over several scenes in my mind. This is one of those unknown, little-marketed sci fi films that will just blow your mind away. Moon 44 has excellent production values, miniature sets, model work and special effects. The movie sets look organic, worn and authentic and remind you of films like Aliens and Blade Runner. Everything is topped off with a great storyline and believable performances by lead actors Michael Paré, McDowell, Devlin and Brian Thompson. I jumped in the seat when I saw that kid from Fright Night playing a pro drug dealer. What the ....? I guess they all just popped their red and yellow ones to stave off boredom on Moon 44 before the arrival of the pilots. That's when all the action starts. This has got to be the only movie I have seen where one man affectionately put his face up to another man's butt and wiped his cheek on the same butt, and it still came off as a heartfelt and natural scene. You've got to see the movie to know what I'm talking about.
The storyline mainly focused on the rivalries between the ex-fighter pilots who are now convicts and the navigators. In the end they were forced to cooperate to defeat the drone army of the Pyrates - one of the many multinational conglomerates trying to get their hands on the natural resources on Moon 44. This movie shows how natural resources and profits are worth so much more than the lives of some puny humans on a far-off planet...erm...moon. I viewed the UK region 2 release from Boulevard Entertainment which is in true Widescreen 2.35:1 and anamorphic. It is readily available from amazon.uk for about $5 just remember to buy the Boulevard Ent version as the other one is in full screen 1.33:1 just as the sloppy US release. Highly recommended!
