Amazing movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2012)

If sci-fi movies can invest less on too much action,meaningless effects and more on characters which we can connect with, I think they can come up with more movies like Moon.
The movie Moon doesn't boast of a host of action heroes trying to save planets from alien invasions nor do we see anyone zoom through space in FTL drives.
Too many characters don't clutter the canvas and allows a gradual building up of the story which is deeply contemplative and at the same time chillingly distant.
The technology portrayed in the movie (moon landing has already happened, so is cloning though not of humans, colony on moon isn't too fantastic it might happen in few centuries compared to say FTL drives which are very far-fetched at present) isn't too futuristic which helps us connect with the story and at the same time it forces us to think about ethical/moral implications of such technologies.
Though the story moves a bit lazily (only negative I can see and in-spite of it I give 10/10) it picks up pace towards the end and overall an excellent movie which is really worth watching.
