While the whole notion of terrorists on the moon is fairly ridiculous, the low gravity moon buggy chase is pretty good, (but I felt still off as only 1/6th earth gravity, and while they can match speeds just fine, the distance travelled in the 'air', doesn't match what it would actually be) as is the stark lunar lighting.
