Moon Reviews

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

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

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

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.'

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

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

Full Review

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.

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: B+

Despite the modest resources, 'Moon' is so visually astonishing that it almost looks like it was shot on location on Earth's oldest satellite.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10

A lusciously slow trip, recalling familiar old tones while also adding its own unique touches.

Full Review | Original Score: 10/10

a puzzle with a solution that is elegant yet savage

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

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.

Full Review

Moon entertains by posing a puzzle whose solution opens into disturbing existential truths and paradoxes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

A well-assembled sci-fi thriller.

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.

Full Review

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

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

One of those rare, intelligent, thought-provoking science fiction films that come along less often than a blue moon, but there are some problems with the narrative and the science.
