Review of Moon (2009) by The3Academysins — 07 Mar 2018

Moon is a near perfect example of a great science fiction movie. A slow burning thriller about loneliness and dreams, Moon gets under your skin right away and won't let go until the credits roll. Sam Rockwell gives a vulnerable, truly beautiful performance, and he dominates the screen.

So many moments in Moon shook me to my very core, and like all great sci-fi films, you forget that you are watching a fantastical event. Realism is in full play, here, which makes Moon even more of a harrowing watch.

My one complaint about Moon is that the ending is pretty weak. It just kind of ends in media-res, which clashes strongly with the rest of the film. However, if you love good sci-fi, add Moon to your watch list.
