    Such a strange and wonderful film. Maybe more relevant today than it was in 1972. The transfer is really good for a fifty year old film. I assume the features are the same as before but, I watched them all and they really give you a good feel for the movie. Especially the literal impact that the landmark movie "Freaks" had on Trumball and this film. As with all Arrow releases you can flip the cover to the original 1972 imagery, though this is a pretty good updated version. Nice touches like this abound with this release. Well worth the price.

    A wonderful blu-ray of a very distinctive 70's sci-fi movie. Beautifully crafted with a fantastic performance by Bruce Dern. Best transfer of this movie you will find anywhere. Throw out your old blurays and DVDs. this is the one to own., Has some nice special features too. Also worth noting... the film is often referenced for its environmental themes and if you are into that sort of thing its there, but if you are not dont let it scare you away, What the main character does in the name of what he believes in is clearly observed in a critical way. And that is what makes the story more interesting than just another "save the environment" movie. See it for the tone, feel, and for the love of sci-fi.

    I purchased this one because it's an oldie but goody that I could finally get on bluray. It is a unique and (at least for me) memorable 1970's sci-fi film. It isn't high budget but it is enjoyable. If you're looking for laser shoot-em up space adventure this isn't it. It has an interesting message and begs the question what would you do if you were in the main characters place. It comes across a little hokey at times but I think that's part of it's charm.

    Very good story plot about a botanist who free the last surviving forest in space with only a drone to care for it, rather than to follow orders and destroy it. I would of have this a 5 star rating if only he had let his damage drone go free with the other one.

    Silent Running is a movie ahead way ahead of its time. It has a deep message for mankind to take care of our planet. Bruce Dern did a great job portraying someone trying to save the beauty of Earth.

    A better than average 1970's message movie with Bruce Dern delivering a solid solo performance.

    An oldie but well worth adding to the collection. Bruce Dern is great. Even good works in space are expendable - too bad.

    This movie still moves me. Amazing story and effects long before computers made these kinds of films. A sad commentary on a possible future world.

    This isn't a great movie, but it is a good, classic sci-fi flick. I first saw this when I was very young, and had to add it to my list of purchases. It's got great space scenery, great acting by Bruce Dern, cool robots, and is just a solid entertaining film. I would recommend it to anyone who likes sci-fi.
