High Moon is a fun, medium budget, sci-fi movie set in space. For space movie nerds, there really is a limited # of films that are set in space. I was going through movie reviews looking for my next space flick and stumbled upon this.
High moon doesn't seek or pretend to be oscar-worthy. It's a fun, medium budget made for TV movie that is easy to watch. High Moon creates a universe where humans are dependent on the moon for survival for Helium-3, and has been broken up into different countries. This makes it interesting and simple to understand.
It was fun imagining the moon as a colonized resource and seeing all the different style bases the movie gave us. SyFy channel did spend a decent chunk of change on this film and it shows in the special effects. Granted the special effects are not on the level of say, Interstellar, but they are acceptable by 2020 standards.
Overall I had a great time watching this movie. It was mindless fun and I enjoyed it.

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.

To be honest I wasn't expecting much but was sorely disappointed anyway.
This movie was set in a futuristic scene on the moon but really didn't have what it took to pull it off. Certainly nothing like the other reviews I read and not something I would recommend even as a time waster.
The script leaves a lot to be desired. It is full of puns/quips to an excess perhaps an attempt at wit that was poorly portrayed. I have to admit, I didn't finish the movie so no spoilers here. The costumes didn't have much thought and to me seemed like orange striped pajamas with moon helmets, quite out of place for a movie. The props weren't much different, garden hoses for plant vines, corny plastic flower etc. The acting fit in with the rest of the movie. Stiff and awkward.
On a positive note, it was nice to see someone can make a movie that is not full of crass language but I didn't decide to turn it off when it came to the same sex love scenes. Perhaps there was a chance it got better later but I think I gave it more time than it was worth. All I can say is there is better things to waste your time on! I think a 2 out of 10 is more than generous

They basically threw everything but the kitchen sink into this film, but they kind of forgot the ending. :( As others have noted, it had enough turnabouts to set your head spinning, and any attempt to predict where it was going was bound to failure.
I liked the noir-ish feel of the old space serials, clearly the makers of this film were heavily influenced by that genre.
If you be looking for a serious SF show, you be lookin in the wrong place watching this - but if you were in the mood for a light romp with lots of plot twists, this should be just your cup 'o tea.
I'd have given it an 8 if it had a more satisfactory ending.

When I first saw the movie on the internet, I thought that a space station discovered alien life and the aliens are going to attack the space station. But, I was so very wrong about the movie. I can not tell you about the movie because that would spoil the plot. But, I will tell you this: there are scenes in this movie that wanted to make me kill myself; metaphorically. So if you are planning to watch this movie then think of the worst movie ever that you saw and watch that because it will be much more better than this movie. I think that the worst movie I ever saw was the movie called snow shark and I would rather watch that movie than this movie by a long shot.
