Silent Running Ratings & Reviews
- StairwaytothestarsSeptember 18, 2025A wonderful story about a man disillusioned by humanity's destructive choices. A heartfelt little gem that was truly ahead of its time!
- mike5906June 30, 2025It’s a product of its time. It misses the mark on what technology would become. It doesn’t even really get the character development right. But it’s still a decent story with a little perspective on history.
