High Moon

Great camp fantasy film with a distinctively quirky sense of humor. Obviously if you're looking for a predictable, Michael Bay taking-itself-too-seriously Sci-Fi drama this is the wrong movie. If you were never a proper fan of authentic SF literature you will not get it and you'll end up disappointed. Much like some of the genre's best stories, the movie is a beautifully woven combination of preachy philosophy, quirky humor, nerdy references, Cold War era antiwar internationalism and science stretched too far. Great fun overall.

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.

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.

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.

So... I have no idea why it's not anywhere in IMDb but apparently Hgh Moon intention was to be a TV series. And that actually explains quite a bit about this "TV movie".

I'm happy they used the footage for something. But the end result is not the best. Too much squeezed in and at the same time not enough. And then it ends... without a real ending. You get an answer about what's going on with the moon, but little else. Personally I wouldn't have minded seeing more.
