Moon (2009) Review

To be brief this is the best science fiction film I have seen that has been made in the last ten years. This film is comparable to 2001 in many aspects, but the story is paced much better and the story is easier to follow. The movie is a very accessible science fiction film, but fans of the genre will still be able to appreciate the intellectual aspect of the film, as it is in no way dumbed down to please general movie goers. The plot is incredibly suspenseful and the story is more intelligent than any other recent science fiction films; it does not contain any action like the new Star Trek, and I greatly enjoyed that its a thinking man's movie. This movie is very under appreciated and I believed that the lead (and only) actor in the film, Sam Rockwell, greatly deserved an Oscar nomination for the film. The movie also looks incredible with most of the special effects being a combination of models and miniatures, which is a style that we don't see too often anymore because of the ease of computer graphics. I highly recommend seeing this film because it is the perfect science fiction experience, being relevant, intellectual, and using captivating special effects and a superb story.

Rating: 10/10
