The Moon (3 Stars)


This is the 14th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

South Korea has sent three astronauts on a mission to the dark side of the Moon, hoping to become the second country to succeed in landing men on the Moon. Their spacecraft sustains minor damage from solar wind. While they're repairing the craft there are renewed blasts of solar wind, and two of the astronauts die.

The remaining astronaut, Hwang Sun-woo, is ordered to return home, but he's so close to the Moon that he insists on completing the mission by himself. However, while he's exploring his lunar vehicle is wrecked by a meteor shower.

There's a lot of action and several subplots on Earth, but the film didn't excite me. Obviously I was in the minority, because there was loud applause when the film ended. There's no official release date in America or any European countries, but if you manage to see it, please leave a comment telling me what you think.
