For the first time, the guys from Hammer Studio decided not to shoot a horror movie (usually in the scenery of the early 20th century) but a hilarious action movie about the future. As they called it a space western.
2021. James Olsen, a lone interstellar rocket pilot who did not want to work for a large corporation as a passenger ship pilot. Therefore, his lot is to collect old space satellites and scrap them. However, sometimes he performs separate tasks, citizens of the moon. There will be a space base on the moon in 2021 and people will live there. Then some young lady asks her to help her find her brother, a prospector, alone, somewhere on the expanses of the moon. A big businessman is sorry to change the trajectory of an asteroid, because it is not an asteroid, but a large piece of sapphire. Well, since this is a Western, we are waiting for a shootout and muzzle and the fight between the bad and the good.
In general, the Hammerians approached this Sci-Fi film well. Great scenery, not Odysseus Kubrick, of course, but not bad. A well-designed and depicted world on the moon, through which it breathes and lives. Alas, everything was ruined by the Western component. Fights and shootouts in the conditions of open space and zero gravity looked painfully ridiculous. But in general, this is a funny, childish and not very loading film, which is worth watching from the point of view of the British of our time.
