Plot Summary

In a future where Earth is overcrowded, a small group of people live in an orbital habitat around the Moon.

The crew encounters unforeseen dangers and must rely on their wits and courage to survive.

Critical Reception

High Moon, also known as '2047: Ride Again', received a mixed to negative reception. While some appreciated its attempt at a classic sci-fi feel and its visual effects for a lower budget, many critics and audiences found the plot predictable, the pacing slow, and the acting uninspired. It's often considered a B-movie in execution.

What Reviewers Say

  • Competent but uninspired science fiction with a familiar plot.
  • Visuals are acceptable for the budget, but the story fails to engage.
  • Lacks the depth and excitement of more prominent sci-fi films.

Google audience: Audience feedback on Google is largely unavailable for this film. What little exists suggests a general disappointment with the lack of originality and compelling narrative.

Fun Fact
