Plot Summary:
|
In the 11th installment of the 007 series, headman Lewis Gilbert delivers a visually soul-stirring progression in filmmaking. Roger Moore returns as stylish secretive usage spokeswoman James Linkage. This then 'round Linkage must investigate the hijacking of a set out shuttle with domestics from delightful CIA substitute Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) and sexy Euro supermodel Corrine (Corrine Clery). Agent 007 discovers that genocidal maniac-millionaire Hugo Drax (Michel Lonsdale) plans to defile all of humanity from outer gap and repopulate Terra with only the most perfectly bred humans. A class of traps and villains awaits Contract, including the recurring goodness Jaws (Richard Kiel, also featured in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME).
...
Filmed in such bizarre locations as Southern California, Venice, and the Amazon, Gilbert delivers the formula Bond loads of girls, gadgets, and guns. Though, he also goes supplemental, sending Agent 007 into space. MOONRAKER takes great risks in blending the woman and science fiction genres. In spite of such an unruly coupling, the film rewards viewers with its finale of climactic plot twists and astral precise effects.

Moonraker
The 11th Covenant movie jettisons Ian Fleming's marvellous novel and sends 007 into space. Weighed down on its over clunky special effects and non-existent plotting, this silent picture seems to be essentially an attempt to update Bond in the wake of Star Wars. Roger Moore is at his least convincing as Bond, Michael Lonsdale makes a lacklustre skilled criminal and Jaws, the enormous sub-villain from The CIA man Who Loved Me, makes a deliver looks. Venice and Rio are also part of the coupled, but too much of the budget was wasted on overblown spectacle, without enough concentration being given to the basics.
