Wonderful! A Science Fiction and Conservation Masterpiece! This is the True Widescreen Version!
I first saw Silent Running when I was nine years old, and it made a tremendous impression on me - in fact, it was the first movie that actually blew me away. It was made in 1971, at the height of the conservation and back-to-the-land movement, and will teach you more about the importance of preserving nature than any ten college lectures. The visual effects by Douglas Trumbull, of the aircraft carrier-sized space ships with their forest and garden domes, and the daring escape through Saturn's Rings, are absolutely stunning. There are also three lovable little robots who help to take care of the giant ship and domes, while the lead character of Freeman Lowell, played by Bruce Dern, is one of the most believable and endearing heroes I have ever seen. He is willing to give everything, even his own life, to save the last remaining of Earth's forests. Silent Running has wonderful visionary music by Peter Schickele, which fits perfectly with the action and plot of the story, and two breathtakingly beautiful songs sung by Joan Baez (who does not appear in the movie) recalling the beauty of the Earth that had been lost in the grim future that this brilliant movie portrays. This is the version of Silent Running to buy. It is real widescreen, and not just letterbox like the 1997 DVD with the original movie poster on the cover. This version also has more than an hour of special features, showing how this masterpiece was produced on what would now be considered a shoestring budget, along with interviews of Bruce Dern and Douglas Trumbull, both at the time of production in 1971 and when this DVD was released in 2002. I would highly recommend Silent Running to all lovers of Nature, to Science Fiction fans, and to anyone who enjoys late 60s and early 70s music.

Environmental classic.
This classic sci-fi film starring Bruce Dern is a classic tale of humanity vs. nature and the decision one man has to make. The DVD version is not high definition but well worth seeing if you can find a copy.

A classic
I didn't know if we would be able to even find this older movie. It is a total classic that I wish everyone could view, as it teaches one to respect the basics we take for granted in life. Super happy we found it on your website! Thank you for providing this classic movie to the younger generation, I'll be sharing it with as many as I can :)

Make some noise for Silent Running
Silent Running is a sci-f with a warning . Its an early 70's film, but still relevant today. If your looking for Star Wars action , this is not for you . It's a thinking mans movie. The dvd itself has a nice cover and several extras .

A lot of extra features
A great movie with a shocking amount of extra features, considering it's not a very well known movie. The commentary, making-of, and interviews are as good as the movie itself if you're into that kind of stuff.
