Movie Review: Silent Running

Okay, so it was through a very random series of events that I ended up watching this movie, and it was Not My Favorite. It’s sort of like a combination of Cast Away and Wall-E, cutting out all the parts I liked.

(If you watched Cast Away and thought, ‘Eh, it was good until they gave it a happy ending,’ or if you watched Wall-E and thought it would have been better if the wee sprout had died symbolically, you might really like Silent Running.)

On the other hand, apparently the original script ended with meeting aliens, which would have been cool.

An interesting picture popped up on my tumblr this evening, courtesy of some fantastic Avengers fans and Entertainment Weekly:

And I thought to myself — why does that look so familiar? OH WAIT!

That’s right. Bruce Banner: Blue Steel.

“The world has changed.”
-Nick Fury

(What *hasn’t* changed? Nick Fury’s job of presenting blatantly obvious exposition stuff to the audience but being cool enough so we listen anyway.)

(Also, I love that in the back-to-back-circle scene, Hulk is totally covering Clint’s blind side.)

(ALSO, I hope Black Sabbath kicked in some funding, or free cds or something. That t-shirt is in EVERY preview!)

Seriously, if you brought a bow and arrows to an alien spaceship fight, wouldn’t you want the Hulk covering you?
