Silent Running (1972)
NEXT: "I'm Not There" (2007)
Man, not good. In the same vein of "Omega Man" and "The Andromeda Strain" this is just slow, poorly acted and suffers from the same production style.
I might have given this 2 out of 5, but the music (Joan Baez) is just painful.
There's a lot of possible messages from this like man doesn't care about nature, nature freaks are crazy, etc. I think mainly the message is: we need to take care of the planet or it will go away and that man cares more about money than beauty and nature. I'm not sure, but that might be it???

Ship with plants to save
Earth's nature. Told to destroy
and come back. He's nuts.

Oh, no you didn't! 1/5 for Silent Running! Philistine!
I hereby rescind our friendship. I want my money back.
Awright, it hasn't aged terrifically well, but this is an old-school favorite of mine, hammy acting, bad music and all.
Yep, I sure did. Sorry.
I dare you to watch this movie and enjoy it. I dare you.
The music will ruin it even in your memory so I suggest you preserve that and just move along.
