Oops, that was a disappointment. With the hippie songs of Joan Baez, ''Silent Running'' feels like a kind of Woodstock in space at too many moments, and the constant presence of a slightly wooden Bruce Dern in tunic doesn't really help. You have to give Trumbull especially what has been realized with a relatively limited budget in the face of the film. Thematically and script-wise, there is far too little stretch and dynamics in it; the message is clear early on, which is why it is mainly a party for the biggest fans of panels, robots and other gadgets.
