Focus on the Acting and the Dilemma

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2009)

Please watch this movie while in a good mood. You'll thoroughly enjoy the terrific performance(s) by Sam Rockwell. Rockwell is Oscar-worthy. If not for Moon, it at least adds to his body of work. For someone wanting a tight story with a clear and clean beginning, middle, and end - I suggest something in the kids section. I enjoy movies that make me think and feel. "Moon" definitely succeeded. One could explore the nature vs nurture debate while also studying the interplay between each of the characters. Like most good sci-fi, it's more about psychology than lasers and aliens. The film definitely raises important questions about the individual and what we value in life. Work? Family? Self? Friendship? Duty? If you value your time, it is NOT wasted while watching and thinking about this film.
