October 26, 2009it's great to see sam rockwell get a break like this and he totally owns it. it's virtually a one man show and i can't imagine anyone could've done it better.

October 24, 2009A thinking man's science fiction/drama that has turned out to be the best film I've seen this year. I could go through the usual list of 'this is great, that was terrific' but I won't since every single thing in this film is just freakin perfect. I even enjoyed Kevin Spacey and T...( read more)

October 24, 2009Moon is a wonderfully small scale sci-fi film, that manages to pack in infinitely more interesting material than any blockbuster. Rockwell needs to be noticed by the Academy for such a fine performance. He has such an everyman quality, that has gone unnoticed for so long. Spacey ...( read more)

September 3, 2009Gratifyingly straight, pensive exploration of identity which was everything Soderburgh's Solaris should have been. Its slow pace gives its interesting ideas time to ferment in your mind.

Later I also saw Moon. It is serious Science fiction movie. 6th Clon managed to come back Earth. The rest has been badly cheated. -
November 6, 2009Loved the story, loved the atmosphere, loved the music, loved the whole sci-fi thing.... but man, it SUCKS to be a clone. This is a damn depressing movie, so get ready to sulk.

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

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

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Though we love pretentious grand sci-fi, this film feels kind of thin, just a corporate scandal-philosoph'cal show. 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
