Review of Moon (2009) by Luke A — 25 Mar 2014
A thought provoking story whose pacing can sometimes cause a viewer's attention to waver, I find Moon to be a fantastic independent movie and I am highly appreciative that such a film was created.
Everybody loves Sam Rockwell in the film and he deserves a lot of praise for offering us several versions of himself that suspend disbelief for the premise.
The film also leaves judgments for the viewer to make, and how you do so will likely contribute to your overall enjoyment.
I watched this in the cinema and now again on DVD and I'll say that the second time didn't impact me as heavily as the first, but in the second viewing I caught some more layers of the story.
Speculative fiction is starved for stories such as this, exploring the fantastic within a realistic framework that hearkens back to the golden ages of science fiction.
