StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Bjarne Fich Sometimes you come by a movie, that try to show how the world would look in the future. This story of "the first moon base" is moving in a gentle and realistic tempo. Its not an action movie, but tries to be a vision of how thing may be in the future. The style (cloth, hair, big head set, keyboards etc.) in the movie is typical 1990 - so it has this old time kind of look, but a part from that its a really enjoyable movie. So if you would like to see a (fairly) realistic vision of the future, you will enjoy this. As the title shows, this could be the story of an ordinary American mining city - just on the moon - with the twists in the plots that comes with it.

chasedc I thought that this was a well written movie, better than most made for TV sci-fi. I thought that it made living on the moon look very believable. I wish it would get released to DVD before something happens to my VHS copy.

Thumpit I enjoyed the movie as its a world we can "dream" of with a smile. someday we will have a similar reality of the aspect of "living" in space. I used to have a fuzzy tape of it when it aired and now that tape gotten destroyed. it would be great to see it again and "dream"

Fugitive93 I saw this movie when it premiered because it looked like a change of pace from the usual TV-Movie. It turns out I was right. It is nothing amazing, but it is an inventive, diverting step u from the usual made for TV sci-fi garbage. Dale Midkiff is a winning hero, Joseph Gordon Levitt alludes to the range he would eventually show on 3rd Rock and in 10 Things I Hate About You. The whole package is nicely cheesy and boasts decent special effects. I wish this would get released to video or DVD so I could see it again. I overtaped my copy back in '98. Fun Movie 9/10
