Moon is the type of movie where the less you know going in the better. Part of what makes this movie work is how the story unfolds, and how characters come to certain revelations. For the sake of your viewing pleasure, here's a quick spoiler-free paragraph to sink your teeth into:

    • I was fascinated by this movie - I knew it had Sam Rockwell in it (massive fan of his) and I knew it had, rather intriguingly, the 'voice' of Kevin Spacey in it too. Saw it, loved it.

      Sam Rockwell is really tested in Moon, and he absolutely delivers a brilliant performance - you don't really notice that he's pretty much the only actor in the film because he's just so compelling.

      Another fab thing about this film is the soundtrack - it's so many things; menacing, spooky, beautiful and serene. Much like the moon itself :)

    • Really enjoyed it, would probably give it 7 out of 10.

      Sam Rockwell carries the film brilliantly (twice!), I actually liked the slgihtly low budget effects, and the story was really good: complex and gripping without being impenetrable.

    • Predictably, Rockwell is the sole human superintendent of the mechanised moon-mine, all alone in the tatty, mussed-up spaces of this space station, which has a very Kubrick-70s design, he scoffs his microwaved meals and grows a beard. His only companion, is the extremely annoying computer-helpmeet with an ironic voice provided by Kevin Spacey.

      I say director Duncan Jonesspent a few hours too many watching Kubrick’s 2001. Great visuals but I doubt I’ll be buying this one on DVD.

    • Although it's not as deep as some Sci Fi films, the dark humor and plot keep it going. Nice to see a robot not being evil for once.
