This was terrible, let down by poor story and a lame attempt at psychodrama

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2013)

I was expecting to really like Moon, an indie movie with a sci-fi setting and a reputation as a return to the meditative hard sci-fi classics of the 1970's. Even half an hour in I was still holding out hopes that it would prove to be le gem that it looked it could be. Eventually, as the unconvincing and tedious psychological posturing dragged on, without any depth or emotional effect I became resigned to the reality that this one was a stinker. It is a stinker. The denouement was both predictable and implausible. There's absolutely no good reason to construct a vast conspiracy involving clones for a mining operation on the moon. The whole basis of the plot seems utterly pointless and silly. A terrible movie, not good scifi at all.
