'2001 A Space Oddysey' in unforgettable in many, many ways, one of them is the tripped out acidness of the landing on Jupiter. 'Silent Running' directed by '2001's special effects man takes it all the way. Beautiful music by Joan Baez, evil commercial interests with no regards of anything but money and loving for mother nature.
Effectswise its not completely on par with '2001', but its still darn good. I prefer this style over the expensive CGI of today. Or maybe rather its the set designs thats better on '2001', probably both.. but this is not about the 1968 movie which had more money on its hands anyway. The droids in this kicks ass! Its a very sad story and a very lonely journey. Highly recommended!
