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.
This eerie drama harks back to sci-fi movies of the late 60s and early 70s that explored inner as well as outer space.
Storywise, Moon fails to live up to the promise of its premise. There's plenty of atmosphere, but little gravity.
Sam Rockwell should have been nominated for Best Actor at least twice.
Someday, Rockwell will get his Oscar due, I have no doubt. But I bet that when that day comes, lots of movie lovers will look back and say, 'But it should have happened for Moon.'
A throwback to the golden era of 1970s sci-fi, Moon is a long overdue and morally relevant antidote to the overblown bombast of todays science fiction.
Moon is an old-fashioned sci-fi movie in the best sense: far more psychological drama than space opera, dispensing with overweening CGI and loud flashy action sequences while harking back to subtler, more ideas-driven entries in the genre.
Evocative, riveting, and ultimately contemporary in a roundabout way, Moon is a superb mood piece, sublimely cradled by Jones, filtered through tireless work from star Sam Rockwell.
Despite the modest resources, 'Moon' is so visually astonishing that it almost looks like it was shot on location on Earth's oldest satellite.
Out of this world. A story that could easily have been from the early days of science fiction. It's a film that has a make-or-break lead role, and Sam Rockwell makes it an incredible journey. Paul Chambers, CNN.

A lusciously slow trip, recalling familiar old tones while also adding its own unique touches.
a puzzle with a solution that is elegant yet savage
Sure, he's the son of David Bowie, but it's far more illuminating to learn that he got a degree in philosophy before turning to film...
Contemplates a future full of potential and yet robbed of hope, an era where the worst malfunction technology can suffer is to simply function too well for its own good.
Moon entertains by posing a puzzle whose solution opens into disturbing existential truths and paradoxes.
A frequently engrossing science fiction story given a particular tension and seriousness by its moral inquiry into what it means to be fully human and alive.
Sam Rockwell's work is a light on the dark side of "Moon." It's not that the man behind the curtain isn't worth attention, it's that he's just not as interesting. It's predictably plotted, but unpredictably mournful and elegiac a la Philip K. Dick.
