a5c7b9f00b A Boeing 747 carrying a US space shuttle on loan to the UK crashes into the Atlantic Ocean. When the British examine the wreckage they can find no trace of the spacecraft and send agent James Bond to the shuttle's manufacturers, Drax Industries, to investigate.
James Bond investigates the mid-air theft of a space shuttle, and discovers a plot to commit global genocide.
When Star Wars came out in 1977, it was of course one of the best movies of all time and the most moneymaking film of all time up to that point. What could Bond do to keep up and cash in on this new space boom, Moonraker of course! People find this very silly, but its a fun Bond movie, but does it hold up? Hmm…<br/><br/>The story again involves a megalomaniac trying to destroy the Earth to create a master race, only this time the filmmakers trade Under the Sea to the empty vacuum of space. Bond must stop Drax, who is a little more interesting and intimidating than Stromberg, who uses his Moonraker space shuttles as transports for his Aryan race to space. I&#39;ve said space too much in the space provided for me to write about a movie with space in it. (If you can read that fast, you&#39;re good) Roger Moore is again in top form as Bond, finally settling his performance that he would use until he became 50 years old in A View to a Kill. Lois Chiles is a tad bit wooden and monotone as Dr. Holly Goodhead (hehe lawlz) Drax is very memorable because of actor Michael Lonsdale&#39;s commanding screen presence.<br/><br/>The story is interesting because everything before the launch of Moonraker I find to be boring.<br/><br/>When we get to space, however, its amazing to see all the special effects devised by Derek Meddings. Everything looks amazing and surprisingly great for model work, and when its combined with John Barry&#39;s excellent score for these scenes make them unbelievably awesome.<br/><br/>Now with those things said, there are some silly things, like Jaws&#39; girlfriend, yes that happens. The gondola on land in Venice, the nerve gas, the ninjas (never explained) and even the sky fight is moronic.<br/><br/>But like I said before this film is very fun to watch. There are silly moments of course, but it doesn&#39;t make this the campy silly film that most people would think it is. So, I recommend this movie to watch, but only if you want an escape to the stars.<br/><br/>Next comes one of the absolute worst in the series, For Your Eyes Only.
Back in the late 70s, we were fresh out of the Star Wars phase. We saw Star Trek&#39;s first movie. We saw BattleStar Galactica. And they were all big hits in the box office, or in the case of BSG, cult favorites. In comes Moonraker, Taking the success of Star Wars and using it in the Bondfranchise. The plot here is simple. There is one very rich bad guy. And Bond must take him down, no questions asked.<br/><br/>We don&#39;t really know the villain&#39;s plot until the very end. We don&#39;t know why there is a space station up there until the very end. This film was loaded with extras, great costumes, set design and very good stunts. Most of the film is a collaboration of scenes involving Bond and his quirky humorous way of fighting. The acting wasn&#39;t very serious, it felt very comic bookish, but its OK, because the movie doesn&#39;t try to be serious really.<br/><br/>In the end, we are given the motives for the villain&#39;s actions. He doesn&#39;t say much, but he doesn&#39;t have to. The audience is given enough information, just sit back, enjoy the space battles in this, because they are superb. The CGI was fantastic, the models of the Space Shuttles were incredible, as well as the eerie Space Station that makes you think of our ISS and how prophetic this film really is! Good PopCorn film, 8/10
THE BOND by which to compare all other Bonds is Goldfinger and by that standard Moonraker, the 11th chapter in the exploits of Agent 007, is second-best. But, by the standards of most of the other candy served up as summer fare, Moonraker is marzipan - it's so insubstantial it melts in your mouth, but its flavor is distinctive and you can't get enough of it. [30 June 1979]
When the space shuttle Moonraker is hijacked in midair while being transported to the United Kingdom, MI6 director M (<a href="/name/nm0496866/">Bernard Lee</a>) assigns his best agent 007 James Bond (<a href="/name/nm0000549/">Roger Moore</a>), to investigate, starting with the shuttle&#39;s creator Drax Industries, headed by billionaire Hugo Drax (<a href="/name/nm0003909/">Michael Lonsdale</a>). Aided by NASA astronaut/scientist and CIA agent Dr Holly Goodhead (<a href="/name/nm0001042/">Lois Chiles</a>), they uncover a genocidal plot to destroy the Earth&#39;s population and repopulate it with selected couples currently being housed in an undetectable space-city hovering over the Earth. All of the James Bond movies are based, in some part, upon novels by British author Ian Fleming [1908-1964]. Moonraker is based on Fleming&#39;s 1955 novel of the same title. It was adapted for the screen by English screenwriter Christopher Wood. Wood, in turn, novelized the movie in James Bond and Moonraker, published the same year in which the movie was released (1979). Moonraker is the eleventh film in the EON Bond franchise and the fourth movie to feature <a href="/name/nm0000549/">Roger Moore</a> as James Bond, 007. Moonraker is sung by Welsh singer Shirley Bassey, who is the only performer to date that has done more than one Bond theme. She also did the themes for Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever. Bond starts out on an airplane returning to London from Africa, where he was just finishing the last leg of another mission. He is then sent to California in order to talk with Hugo Drax, the builder of the Moonraker that was hijacked in midair. There he meets Dr Holly Goodhead for the first ime. When Bond learns that some of the parts for Drax&#39;s Moonrakers are being made at the Venni Glassworks in Italy, he flies to Venice where he encounters Holly Goodhead again. Bond figures out that Holly is a CIA operative, and they decide to work together. They learn that Drax is moving his operation to Brazil, so they fly to Rio. After Bond discovers Drax&#39;s base in the Amazon jungle, he and Holly commandeer a Moonraker and end up in outer space. Drax is playing Raindrop Prelude, opus 28, number 15 in D flat Major, composed by Frédéric Chopin. In the DVD commentary, it says that the effect was created with high-pressure air jets through a thin nozzle on a tube held off camera by Roger Moore himself. Moore suffered bruising to his cheeks afterwards.As he explains to Bond, one of the six Moonrakers that were needed for him to complete his mission developed a fault during its assembly. He needed to get back the one that was on the way to England because he was breaking down his operation on Earth and didn&#39;t have time to fix the ship that developed the fault or build another Moonraker. According to a commercial raiser of snakes, it&#39;s a reticulated python, native to Africa. It&#39;s the theme song from <a href="/title/tt0054047/">The Magnificent Seven (1960)</a> (1960). During his fight with behind the glass-faced clock, Bond spots some large crates with the Drax Industries logo and Rio de Jainero stenciled on them. One of the crates is partially broken open and Bond spots one of the globes he saw in the laboratory inside it. Bond and Holly knock out the pilots for the sixth Moonraker and take their place. Flying on a preset course, they eventually rendezvous with the other Moonrakers at a radar-cloaked space station where Drax has assembled numerous pairs of perfect people whom he intends to use to restart the human race. Bond and Holly disable the radar jammer in order to make the station visible from earth. The U.S. subsequently sends a military shuttle to investigate. Meanwhile, Drax has launched the first three of 50 globes carrying the deadly nerve toxin to earth in his attempt to wipe out the imperfect human race. A laser battle in space takes place when the military shuttle arrives, and Bond manages to eject Drax into space after shooting him with a cyanide-tipped dart. The space station begins to break up, so Bond and Holly attempt to get away in Drax&#39;s personal Moonraker, but they can&#39;t get the release work. Jaws (<a href="/name/nm0001423/">Richard Kiel</a>), having been convinced to turn sides when Bond points out that Drax won&#39;t allow him and Dolly (<a href="/name/nm0712255/">Blanche Ravalec</a>) to live in his perfect world, agrees to help and frees the Moonraker. As the space station begins to disintegrate around Jaws and Dolly, their module also detaches from the station; they go floating into space just before the space station explodes. Bond and Holly track down the three globes and destroy them. In the final scene, M has gotten visual contact with Bond&#39;s Moonraker. Bond and Holly are seen floating in space with only a sheet to cover their naked bodies. &quot;I think he&#39;s attempting re-entry,&quot; says Q. Bond flicks off the camera, and Holly asks him to &quot;take [her] around the world one more time.&quot; After Bond destroys the last globe, a Houston controller states that the American shuttle rescued two survivors &quot;a tall man and a short, blonde woman&quot;, indicating that Jaws and Dolly did indeed survive. Bond comes across Drax when M has Bond expose him as a card cheat. Drax has a red beard that covers scarring on his face. The Moonraker is a missile instead of a space shuttle. Jaws and Chang aren&#39;t in the book. Dr.Holly Goodhead is instead a Scotland Yard agent named Galatea &quot;Gala&quot; Brand. Drax turns out to be a Nazi named Graf Hugo von der Drache and the Moonraker is secretly aimed to hit London. Drache captures James and Gala and plans to cook them with the Moonraker&#39;s rockets. They escape and James changes the gyros then he and Gala hide in the shower turned on full blast. Drache escapes in a Russian submarine but a reprogrammed Moonraker blows him out of the water. Bond and Gala are exiled to France until the event blows over but Gala reveals to Bond that she&#39;s engaged to marry another man. Including Moonraker, Moore made seven movies in which he played James Bond: <a href="/title/tt0070328/">Live and Let Die (1973)</a> (1973), <a href="/title/tt0071807/">The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)</a> (1974), <a href="/title/tt0076752/">The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)</a> (1977), Moonraker (1979), <a href="/title/tt0082398/">For Your Eyes Only (1981)</a> (1981), <a href="/title/tt0086034/">Octopussy (1983)</a> (1983), and <a href="/title/tt0090264/">A View to a Kill (1985)</a> (1985).
