Sam Rockwell is at his finest in this film. If you're used to giant Hollywood budgets and tactics, this film is not for you. If you are a fan of Sci-Fi films, this is a must-see film. The effects are simple, realistic, and down-right, cinematic. This is more of a psychological/Sci-Fi film and I commend Sam Rockwell for the realism he portrayed in this film.Sam Rockwell plays a very optimistic character who feels as though he has earned his freedom when it comes to a very important mining operation on the moon. Upon discovering a catastrophic failure, things unravel and his meaning of life comes into question. Once again, if you are a fan of Sci-Fi, this is a MUST SEE film. One of the best Sci-Fi films ever to be portrayed, it should not be missed.

I absolutely loved this movie. It had a classic Sci Fi vibe to it, which you don't see too much these days. One thing that turns me off about today's science fictions is the overuse of special effects, which seem to take away from the film or try to make up for a bad film. It wasn't needed here. The film touched on a few ethical issues, or what would be ethical issues in a futuristic movie such as this. For example, is it ethical to kill or consider killing a clone? Cloning is already being done in today's scientific community and have posed many ethical questions. I think much of society is afraid to ask the real question about cloning humans. Kevin Spacey was great as the computer GERTY, which seemed to have a conscious. With AI being a possibility in the future, how would that change if there was a conscious? Overall, I really enjoyed the film...made me ask many "what if" questions.

With Mute (2018) release just hitting Netflix, it led me to the same creator as Moon. Mute, which is being bashed beyond belief and I was surprised because of the great reviews of Moon, so I decided to watch Moon first since it is so positively recieved...wrong!Sam Rockwell, exceptional job! Bravo for this vehicle showcasing his acting. But I was once not a sci-fi fan until I learned I just had really high standards when it comes to this genre. Interstellar, I loved thoroughly. I love cerebral movies and groundbreaking ones too. Something this genre is very capable of doing. See Altered Carbon. Sci-fi today as opposed to 2009 when this movie was released has changed profoundly. Now, it's all about the dystopian cyber punk sci-fi that that was created decades ago by the minds of Philp K. Dick and and adapted into movies such as Clockwork Orange, Brazil, Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly, 2001: space odyssey, just endless epics. A groundbreaking event happened to revolutionize sci-fi TVS; Black Mirror! With an almost perfect first two seasons beginning, the audience asked for the product and more. Then someone had A brilliant idea and said let's adapt "loosely" PKD short stories and that's what the first season is trying to do. But it wasnt executed well enough and was too late. Black Mirror is displaying the less the better with episodes. Maybe the 3 originally was perfect, and PKD series has 10! Then comes along the next evolution of this genre, or revisit with a creative approach. Just like Blade Runner but totally different concept; ALTERED CARBON!!! A MASSIVE HIT that everyone will rise to catch up to. This has nothing to do with moon except for the fact that in 2018, going back to a film pre-Black Mirror, is disappointing!I'm sorry, everyone saying how great Gerdy is? Did I just watch a different film? This movie could have been much much better, but squandered the oppurtuinity. Now, I will not watch Mute and know why it has terrible reviews. This time the director and writer, Bowies son needs ground control. Please, of you're going to write a story featured in space, don't make it ordinary! That's exactly what this film is, predictable and ordinary! I gave five stars because of Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey has the best voice for a AI robot. I think Robin Williams would have to at the time.I'm not saying don't watch this, again I have high standards. I expect something I have a passion for to bring their A game, not half was it with a plot you can find on any writers app. Watch it if you have time to waste only!

I love Sam Rockwell's talent and his impeccable ability to make a great, outstanding performance in almost every movie he is in. So, I was even more thrilled when learned that Duncan Jones, the son of great late David Bowie, is a film director. Oh, and here is the voice talents of Kevin Spacey in use, too. Wow, I said, that's gonna be a marvelous movie. Instead, what I was treated to, was a flabbergasting drag of laughable scope, with a plot twist so trite and predictable that I nearly ate my giggle. Smirk. Come on, guys, are you serious? Are you really trying to sell me this outdated, banal stuff, seen so many times? Duane Byrge wrote: "Nonetheless, 'Moon' is darkened by its own excellencies: The white, claustrophobic look is apt and moody, but a lack of physical action enervates the story thrust." The critic felt mixed about the star's performance, describing him as "adept at limning his character's dissolution" but finding that he did not have "the audacious, dominant edge" for the major confrontation at the end of the film. Just how very true, indeed!
