How does a man on the moon get his haircut? Eclipse it.

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2011)

I'd heard very good things about Moon from friends and critics alike and had been markedly disappointed by its limited cinema release. Thus I was very excited when I finally got round to watching it.
To think this film was made on a relatively puny budget of £5m is staggering. The story is excellent told by the clearly very talented director, Duncan Jones; beautifully shot and styled through the cinematography, set design, modelling and effects; and brilliantly acted by Sam Rockwell, the most underrated actor in Hollywood. I've been a fan of Rockwell since Lawn Dogs but his performance here really is masterful. Kevin Spacey's vocal performance as Gerty is also delivered perfectly.
A funny, dramatic, upsetting, thought-provoking, beautiful film that deserves vastly more recognition than it's had. I've given it nine stars because it doesn't quite do enough to knock my all time favourites of their pedestal but it's definitely the best I've seen in a long while. A natural, more understated cousin of Sunshine and Solaris (done on a sliver of their budgets) this is a must for everyone, not just sci-fi fans. Put it on your list now.
