January 30, 2010Moon is floating under everyone's radar, and unfortunately, Sony has chosen not to back it for Oscar consideration. Makes no sense to me, because it's one of the best films of 2009 and Sam Rockwell gives not one, but two performances worthy of a nomination.
Rockwell plays Sam ...( read more) -
January 28, 2010A cerebral sci-fi gem that almost slipped under my radar.
An astronaut, alone on the moon, is nearing the end of his three year mission. He passes the time by maintaining the mining station, conversing with his helpful software sidekick (voiced by Kevin Spacey) and sending vi...( read more) -
January 28, 2010A lone astronaut working a mining operation on the moon starts seeing the face of a young woman and begins to question his sanity. Moon flies very much in the face of contemporary sci-fi. It has a very retro look, complimented perfectly by the use of beautifully crafted miniature...( read more)

January 25, 2010Psychological science fiction about an astronaut harvesting precious Helium-3 on the moon alone....or so he thinks. Thought provoking drama owes a definite debt to 2001: A Space Odyssey. While this drama suffers in the comparison to that science fiction classic, it still ...( read more)

January 24, 2010An amazingly good hard sci fi movie. Not fantasy sci fi . . just goo sci fi . . an excellent film with Sam Rockwell putting on a great performance. If you want good psychological sci fi movie this is it.

February 9, 2010Not bad for a low budget sci-fi film, but it suffered from some pacing and story issues that overshadowed Rockwell's performance.

February 9, 2010This is the sci-fi movie that was missing. In perfect Philip K. Dick style, this is not the usual action-packed, aliens-filled outer space odyssey, its more an internal, personal struggle for identity and understanding. I am not a sci-fi fan, but I truly loved this film.

February 8, 2010Except for some of the narrative holes, this was one of the best suprises for me so far this year.

February 8, 2010If you watch this movie with no expectations then you will be pleasantly surprised. It's intelligent but a bit depressing overall.

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Directed with a sure hand by Duncan Jones, Moon is the anti-Transformers, a science fiction tale that owes as much to fiction as to science. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
As a piece of entertainment, Moon is a failed experiment. Yet though it never becomes enjoyable or gets even within hailing distance of fun, it has some interesting ideas. full review
June 18, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Moon is a superior example of that threatened genre, hard science-fiction, which is often about the interface between humans and alien intelligence of one kind of or other, including digital. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Mr. Rockwell gives a brilliant performance, the physical production is impressive and Moon made me think. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
By keeping the human element front and center throughout the film (and kicking the story into an intriguing new dimension at the end), the director has avoided winding up where so many extraterrestria... full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The film's ideas are interesting, but don't feel entirely worked out, and Mr. Rockwell's intriguingly strange performance (or performances) is left suspended, without the context that would give Sam's...

Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com
It feels like a "moon" trip we've taken before in better films but Sam Rockwell is brilliant in a tour-de-force performance. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
An intelligent, evocative and deceptively low-key sci-fi adventure. full review
June 11, 2009
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Director Duncan Jones (son of David Bowie), working from a script by Nathan Parker, pulls off sci-fi miracles on a $5 million shoestring. Moon is a potent provocation that relies on ideas instead of c... full review
