Wow! Don't Let the Trailer Dissuade you!

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2020)

I skipped watching this movie for a long time because the trailer looked very slow and boring. When I finally decided to "take the plunge" and commit 97 minutes of my life to it, I was extremely, and quite pleasantly, surprised.
This is NOT an action movie, period. This is a "thinking man's" Sci-Fi movie, with great development and some interesting twists. I love it when I watch a movie and haven't completely unraveled the plot half way through.
Oh, and the chemistry between the two lead actors, Sam Rockwell and, well...himself, is phenomenal!
The movie could easily be seen as an allegory for the average blue collar worker's replaceable, expendable, "just another cog in the wheel", value to a big corporation. However, that is just one interpretation and never feels like the focal point of the plot. If that is the message of this movie, then "Moon" manages to impart that thought without seeming "preachy" about it.
This film ends with a definitive "root for the underdog" flourish which feels quite satisfying. I finished the movie wishing I had watched it sooner!
