A one man movie...

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2010)

Every so often you stumble across a movie that speaks genuinely to you about everything it's trying to show you. Moon is very much a movie like that. the only real negative comments I've read about this film seem to be people nit-picking small concepts and expecting something that this film isn't. This film is not a movie with a HUGE twist at the end (like every other Psychological Thriller), yet by the middle of the film there are so many questions buzzing around in your brain. I won't say anything about the plot because that would not be fair. That being said, I have seen this film multiple times and it doesn't detract from the experience, rather with each viewing, one gets a little bit more and sees parts they missed the first time around. This movie is not with out its flaws, but those can be overlooked as overall the acting, writing and directing are all masterfully done. Sam Rockwell is Brilliant in this film as he is in most everything I've seen him in before. What really shines is the writing and the Interesting way in which they show character development almost playing with a dichotomy of themes as we slowly unravel this "mystery" in space. This is a must see for anyone who likes to be entertained and think while doing so.
