November 19, 2009This film can appeal to anyone, and I assume thats why I liked it so much. Its not too obvious and is SCI FI but its a film not wrapped up in its own illusion and is just a very good film.

November 8, 2009I don't know if the science fiction elements of this reach any hifalutin heights (an Aliens-esque greedy galaxy corporation blah blah, cloning blah blah) but the surface play out of it is fun. The film looks good in all its sparseness, so no complaints there, but the real treasur...( read more)

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)

November 20, 2009Sam Rockwell shines in this film, for me this film goes up there with some of the best films of 2009. Its tragic that it got a very limited theatrical realise, because this film deserves the recognition.

November 18, 2009Great surprise! The slow pace in the beggining can be hard, but once you get used it, turns out to be a great movie. One man show!

November 17, 2009Sam Rockwell should get that best actor nomination that's being petitioned. and this makes Duncan Jones a director to watch. He makes the Bowie name proud.

November 17, 2009rockwell as a nut is what he does best. i defo agree with tim on it feeling too simple though this being said it still kept my attention throughout and id happily watch again. i also found it interesting how they hit you with the plot off the bat and there is no stretched out twi...( read more)

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
