Moon (2009)

Start calculating the costs to Lunar Industries of its singular form of devaluing, and Moon's central premise stops making sense.

A well-assembled sci-fi thriller.

Moon actually gets a little dull in the later reels, just when it should be peaking in mystery and tension.

An eccentric sci-fi which cleverly deconstructs the mythology of the Star Treks and Star Wars which have colonised the future of our imaginations with their glamour, self-importance and operatic sound tracks.

The film is not entirely logical, but it raises pleasing questions and looks beautiful.

Most contemporary sci-fi movies come on with all CGI-guns blazing, trying to blow the roof off the theater. Moon settles for trying to blow your mind instead.

A cue to the responsibility of filmmakers in a time when most seldom trust their audiences to think about answers, and asks questions that paralyze us in intricate fascination long after the final shot has left an imprint.

Solaris and Blade Runner meet Silent Running. A movie with both a brain and a heart.

Intriguing, imaginative, and thematically ambitious, Moon gives ample proof that Jones is a serious talent, pushing his concepts into intellectually and spiritually challenging territory.

It's a film that won't fail to move or excite anyone who's ever cast their eye skywards and let themselves wonder.

Sam Rockwell should have been nominated for Best Actor at least twice.
