people who found this movie boring have plenty of other options available

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2009)

It's very encouraging to see that movies like this can still be made today because the future of film has been looking very bleak lately
I had a discussion very recently about how suspense has disappeared from movie making, and how movies even as recent as Alien would not be made anymore. This discussion was prompted by district 9 which I found to be 100% show and no substance, a quite ludicrous movie
Moon has certainly restored my faith in cinema, and especially in lower budget cinema. This film is low on show and all about substance - fabulous acting, story, direction. With understated but artistic visual effects and sound
It's rare that art movie meets sci-fi, and the two come together spectacularly well here. The result is that we have a sci-fi movie that actually has something to say about an extremely relevant and under-discussed issue, that of cloning (you know the growth of stem cells and the leeching of life, so that Joe Celebrity can have a few less wrinkles on their botox) and the questionable ethical future that we might be building for ourselves as a species
It makes me smile when I read comments from people that find this kind of film making boring. If that is you then no worries huh? You can take your pick from just about every other movie screened this year, i.e p^ss off and go watch Transformers. Heathen
