Movie Reviews of Silent Running
Movie Review: A very good movie plus great music by Joan Baez
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best Science Fiction movies of its time. The plot line is pretty good although a bit unlikely but the message is right on point. Bruce Dern portrays a tragic sort of character caught between an uncaring humanity and a fragile and endangered nature. He chooses the latter. The movie benefits greatly from the music of Joan Baez which is just perfect. If you are a tree hugger, then this movie is for you.
You need to keep in mind that this movie was made in the 1970s so its special effects are dated although they were very good for the time.
Movie Review: Will leave you crying
Summary: 5 Stars
Everytime I watch this movie, I have nightmares. The senerio is so eerily close to where we are today. I cry everytime Bruce does what he needs to do. The first time I saw the film was on TV. It stuck with me for weeks. Now, everytime I see it, I get angry, scared, sad, and depressed. Powerful stuff, considering that I now know how it ends.
Bravo for Bruce Dern, what a performance.
PS: As far as a propaganda film goes, I think that depends on your point of view.
Movie Review: The best sci-fi can get!
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this film is over 30 years old it is still relavent today. It does not beat you over the head with a message but gently suggests what could happen. This is done with class and believability. You will laugh and cry and be left pondering. This is one of my all time favorite sci-fi films. The music is top notch and the special effects are great in that they are so believable. You'll love it and the end will leave you speachless.Movie Review: A Doug Trumbull classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Made by fx master Douglas Trumbull after 2001, this actually is a very moving plea for the cause of conservation. An earth so polluted that the last forests are put on great space ships like the Valley Forge to roam the outer edges of the solar system, awaiting the call to return home. Instead the reverse order is given. Bruce Dern kills his companions to prevent them from carrying out the order. Folk score by Joan BiazMovie Review: Not for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are one of those who are only looking for special effects, that think that oldies are outdated, this picture is not for you. Instead, go and watch Terminator and other void and empty films. If you are searching for a good script, you know what does "Waiting for Godott" mean, and you also feel good giving some water to a flower or a tree, you must see this picture.
