Moon


A deceptively simple movie with quite a few surprises up its sleeve. It relies completely on Sam Rockwell and he gives it his all in a wonderful performance. I don't want to give anything away because it will take away from your enjoyment of it. I will say that it is a little too slow at times and doesn't have enough drama and emotion as I would have liked given the ideas it presents, but this is thought-provoking science fiction and it uses a small budget effectively. Some people won't like this because of its slow pace that makes its 97 minute length seem longer, but if you stick it out I think you'll be rewarded with a satisfying experience you won't forget soon.
