Start calculating the costs to Lunar Industries of its singular form of devaluing, and Moon's central premise stops making sense. Jul 6, 2010 | Full Review…

Moon actually gets a little dull in the later reels, just when it should be peaking in mystery and tension. Dec 16, 2009

By halfway the film starts to feel like a mere exercise, one more effort to get maximum value from limited resources. Too much machinery, not enough dread. Oct 8, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

There might even be a touch of his father in there -- ''your circuit's dead, there's something wrong, can you hear me, Major Tom?'' It is a well-built, concentrated movie with a brain and a purpose. Oct 8, 2009 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

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. Oct 8, 2009 | Full Review…

[A] beautifully-crafted fable about the consequences of human greed and unfettered technological endeavour that's plausible enough to be genuinely chilling. Oct 30, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Suffice it to say, Mr. Rockwell more than carries the film, with a nuanced performance that speaks volumes about the fears of alienation and corruption that always seem to accompany our literature about the future. Dec 5, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Directed and conceived by Duncan Jones, Moon is quiet and disturbing, yet manages to be hopeful in the face of overwhelmingly grim conditions. May 23, 2018 | Full Review…

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. May 9, 2015 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Rockwell's certainly up for the challenge of playing multiple roles, but ultimately, he's just yammering to himself. This movie has half an idea and, and the end, tries to convince you it had seven. Jun 22, 2013 | Rating: C | Full Review…
