Moon Zero Two: A Freeform Jazz Concert
22 December 2010
After watching this movie, I realized I don't remember a thing about it. All I remember is the soundtrack, and boy is it a soundtrack.

This movie takes everything bad about every sci-fi and mashes it together with overacting and cheap special effects. The result is something almost close to a masterpiece in B-movie cinema, but not exactly. For one, the Jazz steals the show, for two, the style of the movie was obviously inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey but is also obviously inspired from the 60s, and finally, it's just bizarre. This movie's got exotic dance scenes, a low-gravity bar fight, a complicated plot that you don't care about, space shootouts, bowler hat villain, tough guy hero, useless heroine, and bad haircuts. What else can I say? Oh yeah, scientific background is essentially non-existent, but who cares? This is a great movie to watch if you want to teach yourself what NOT to do in a sci-fi story; it's also featured on a great episode on Mystery Science Theater 3000. In my opinion, that's the better choice.

I have no idea what the title means....
