Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2018)

'Moon (2009)' is smart sci-fi with a small budget and small-scale story but big ideas alongside impressive visuals. It's a real treat from beginning to end thanks to its unconventional, compelling narrative and an excellent performance from Sam Rockwell. While it isn't quite as satisfying to rewatch as you'd expect - though it is as entertaining as it is the first time around, this is a confident and competent piece that uses what it has to bring its vision to life, playing with themes and concepts that far outreach its budget but doing it with crafty poise. 7/10
