One Of The Best Sci-Fi Films Ever

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2010)

For anyone that is tired of all the shamelessly hyped,un-realistic sci-fi mumbo jumbo that is offered today 'Moon' is definitely the right film. In the great tradition of '2001' everything in 'Moon' is based on science fact and is plausible, unlike most of the silliness that passes itself off as science these days.
Let's face it. most present sci-fi fare is not even believable let alone science. Stephen Hawking and Ray Bradbury both criticized current sci-fi for having too much fantasy and not enough actual science in it. Most sci-fi films are usually just a lot of unbelievable fantasy gobblygook that has very little to do with real science speculation. 'Moon' is first rate intelligent sci-fi that won't turn your brains to mush like so much of the stuff out there today.
Sci-fi should be realistic. leave the over-wrought fantasy stuff to the kiddies. It was terrible the way the sci-fi channel took an intelligent,believable sci-fi classic book and film like the 'Andromeda Strain' and turned into silly half-baked fantasy.
Everything about 'Moon' is outstanding. The realness, the special effects and the incredible Sam Rockwell giving yet another amazing performance. This should be the buzz film of the year, this should be the film everyone wants to see and is talking about, not the over-budget sci-fi junk that everyone is into.
