Last of the Fangoria expiring movies, but not really a horror movie. It's a fictionalized version of the story of the guy in Germany who ate a volunteer victim.

"You've been very naughty Ms. Kettlewell."
Finally watched this last week and thought it was terrible. As a space nerd, it drove me crazy that they didn't even attempt to make it look like they were in a zero gravity environment. Both in the lunar module and on the moon itself.
Very, very ambitious movie. A great cast and an intriguing web of (sometimes too) loosely interconnected stories spanning multiple centuries. Top performances by everyone except Tom Hanks of all people, whose Cockney gangster/writer and 19th century doctor on a ship were cringeworthy. It gets worse when you add the elaborate makeup that sometimes works (Hugo Weaving as the Devil on top of a mountain, Halle Berry as a white jewish woman in the 1930s) but mostly doesn't (Hugh Grant as Jim Broadbent's older brother, Doona Bae as a Mexican woman, 90% of Tom Hanks' roles, every case of actors playing the opposite gender and the awkward, awkward cases of caucasian actors playing Asians). It's unfair to ruin the excellent performances of the cast with ridiculous Spitting Image faces glued onto them.
I think this would have worked a lot better as an animated feature.
Pretty fun movie. Seeing the two '80's action icons team up for more than a 5-10 minutes (like in the Expendables movies) was a treat, and being a Jim Caviezel fan, it was enjoyable to see him play a villainous role again.
