Unbearable Drag

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2018)

I love Sam Rockwell's talent and his impeccable ability to make a great, outstanding performance in almost every movie he is in. So, I was even more thrilled when learned that Duncan Jones, the son of great late David Bowie, is a film director. Oh, and here is the voice talents of Kevin Spacey in use, too. Wow, I said, that's gonna be a marvelous movie.
Instead, what I was treated to, was a flabbergasting drag of laughable scope, with a plot twist so trite and predictable that I nearly ate my giggle. Smirk. Come on, guys, are you serious? Are you really trying to sell me this outdated, banal stuff, seen so many times?
Duane Byrge wrote: "Nonetheless, 'Moon' is darkened by its own excellencies: The white, claustrophobic look is apt and moody, but a lack of physical action enervates the story thrust." The critic felt mixed about the star's performance, describing him as "adept at limning his character's dissolution" but finding that he did not have "the audacious, dominant edge" for the major confrontation at the end of the film.
Just how very true, indeed!
