Moon is what science fiction was meant to be: compelling, suspenseful and emotional.

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2017)

'Moon' has Landed
'Moon' came out in 2009. I didn't see it. Big mistake.
'Moon' has great cast consisting of...Sam Rockwell playing Sam, and Sam, and Sam. While more mystery could have been added to the identities of the characters, it's well written, acted, compelling and suspenseful like most science fiction movies aren't.
It's the best science fiction film in the last eight years.
Better than Interstellar? Check. Better than The Martian? Check. Better than Arrival? Check. Better than Gravity? Double Check.
Not only is it more interesting and suspenseful than those films, it is more scientifically plausible in many ways, or at least the script makes it SEEM plausible. And it features Sam Rockwell at his best.
Did I say it looked good? The station is spectacular and well filmed. By the way, Kevin Spacey does the voice of GERTY, the station's robot. That's the best robot I have heard since the Hal9000. And that damn creepy smiley face!
Rating: Pay full price, see it twice.
The film didn't get any Oscar nominations. I guess it was too thoughtful. But it won and was nominated for several BAFTAs and other awards.
