    • Trivia
      Moon 44 (1990) marks the first collaboration between writer-producer Dean Devlin and director Roland Emmerich. Their other movies include Stargate (1994), Independence Day (1996) and Godzilla (1998).
    • Goofs
      There are multiple shots of enemy spaceships that were shot on spherical lenses and have thus been incorrectly desqueezed to fit in the rest of the film's anamorphic 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

    good,but
    The film was interesting sci-fi fare. I felt for the characters in their pridicaments. Granted, it could have been much better, but it could have been worse to. I guess the biggest complaint that I have is that the DVD was released in the inferior format of full frame. I would like to have the opportunity to see the film in it's intended format so that I can get all the necessary information to determine if this is a better film than I think. Thus far all I have seen is the blur of the full frame destruction of the film. Come on Artisan, get with the program!
