Silent Running

Silent Running (1971) starring Bruce Dern. In the distant future, space ships carry the precious cargo of the last remaining trees and plants from planet Earth. Lowell (Dern) is one of the astronauts tending to the forest. When the order comes from Earth to destroy the last remaining greenery, Lowell runs off the rails. Sound interesting? It's not. This is one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. Very little happens, and when something does happen, it looks like the film was made by amateurs. To its credit, this movie does have pretty good subtitles, but that is about all it has going for it. Grade: C-
