This is a clever, well acted, well crafted sci-fi thriller.

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2010)

Sam Rockwell stars as an astronaut named Sam Bell in Moon. From I think newcomer Duncan Jones(David Bowie's son). Well, to be perfectly honest, I see where he gets his genius. If this guy is actually related to David Bowie, probably one of the greatest musicians of all time, then I want him to do more films.
Well, I hate to say this, this really saddens me, but I think this is one film that is going to be overlooked. It hasn't been nominated for any Golden globes. Who cares about them though? Well, It's a bad sign anyway you put it.
Moon, though a little slow and confusing, is brilliant. There are so many twists and turns that just pop up in your face. Though it might take you a bit to realize what they are.Moon is probably one of the most creative movie of the year. It is so sad to hear it isn't going to get any nominations. Is it going on my ten best of the year list? No. But it is really a neat and never boring film experience.
Sam Rockwell does an excellent job as Sam Bell, an astronaut who has been in space for three years. Actually, I don't think he's been up there that long. I think he was supposed to stay up there for three years. So as Sam starts to spend his final days up there, he starts going crazy. At first I thought he was having hallucinations of himself. Then I noticed that he starts to decay. And eventually, I didn't know which Sam Bell was which.
Moon tries to make you think. Oh it does really well with that. Because for a lot of the film I had no idea what was going on. I also wasn't sure why it was a sci-fi. But then as I continued to watch, my questions were answered.
This is a brilliantly acted film. This is a clever film. This is a well crafted movie. Now I don't know how director Duncan Jones could've came up with something so clever. Oh wait never mind he's related to David Bowie. If this is Duncan Jones' first film ,I wonder what else he could do? Moon, though not one of my favorite movies of the year(It is definitely on the top 20) it is still genius.
Moon: A-
