Both the film & star SAM ROCKWELL should have nominated for Oscars.

Rating: 9/10 (15 March 2010)

MOON is a very fine example of a 'sci-fi' movie made on a low budget on studio sets. This is the way films used to be made.
This is a first time directorial and writing effort as well,.
Duncan Jones wrote the original story & directed; his partner Nathan Parker wrote the screenplay. WE WILL see more of this creative teams work.
Sam Rockwell who has given fine performances for over 15 years in film & on TV. gives what actually amounts to a SOLO performance. He should have been nominated for an Oscar, He was nominated for a BAFTA award.
Sam WILL win an Oscar one year, It would be a shame if he did not.
The only other major name in the cast is Kevin Spacey, he is the computer voice & of course does a fine job.
The story takes place on the far side of the Moon, in a large space lab. If you let your imagination loose, you will feel you are in that lab.
There are few fancy space type shots, that we see in similar films.
This is a fine 2009 low budget film like they used to make.
