I liked this movie alot.It is a bit like 2001 with the HAL like robot and the mostly white set but there is an answer to the puzzle that presents itself part way through the movie. This could become a classic.

I'm so ridiculously thankful that I managed to see this without having it spoiled. Aside from the predictability of the plot my only complaint is that, compared to the other fantastic special effects, having the spacewalking scenes obviously be slo-mo of him moving in normal gravity was fairly noticeable.

Excellent sci-fi film. The revelations are not necessarily earth shattering, but suspected from the start, similar to how Sam Bell has sneaking suspicions about his situation throughout.

old school sci-fi ... LOVE IT

Overall, a very good film with an amazing score by Clint Mansell, but not quite great or a masterpiece. I thought I knew where it was going and what was about to occur about 30 minutes...but what ended up happening was in fact very different. Overall, it's an intelligent, introspective movie, with plenty of tension throughout. My only problems were a few plot holes near the end, and the drawn-out nature of the first 45 minutes. (To its credit, the last hour is very snappy and well paced)

A must see of 2009. Very well made little film, and a throwback to when sci-fi was all about big themes such as identity, reality, perception or other buzzwords that strangely enough would also fit perfectly for your average drug bender. It's a Rockwell tour de force that'll keep you engaged right up until the finish line, and perhaps even longer. BUT: Maybe it's just me that likes my sci-fi endings the way I like my coffee: Black as the grave and heavy as something that weighs a lot.

It makes me happy that Moon is trying to bring back the psychological sci-fi movies we had in the 70s and it does it successfully (and thankfully without constant worshipping references)... but were it released in the 70s it would be middle of the road. An enjoyable movie, but eventually you're not guessing anymore, the tension is mostly gone, you're just sitting and watching it ride out. If you want to see it, by all means go, but I won't be forcing anybody into it.

A great debut for Duncan Jones and another win for the sci-fi genre. Pacing was excellent, a great original score and it had a "2001" feel to it but never felt like it copied it. Kevin Spacey did wonders with his voice over and Sam Rockwell gave a tremendous performance.

the goofy tone prevents this existential nightmare of an idea from having much real weight (there are sad moments, but nothing stings), yet that goofiness is refreshingly unpretentious and sort of brave all the same. i suppose what i'm feeling is there's a lot to like about moon but not a great deal to love, 'cept of course the hilariously smiley inversion of hal. maybe a rewatch with revised expectations will prove more fruitful - it's that kind of movie.

Visuals are stunning as far as you're not disturbed the other scifi movie resemblances. For me the first half of the movie was because of that and because of poor, uninteresting plot a bit torture. After the twist story was boosted a lot, but the very lame end spoiled it again. I did not like Rockwell in the lead. The best parts were outdoor shooting and machinery there. Spacey as a robot was okay, but I did not like the functionality of it.

Director Duncan Jones is very obviously inspired by 2001, Alien, Blade Runner and Solaris, but that's a fine set of influences. Rockwell does admirable job with a difficult role. I've never been a huge fan of his, but I was impressed. And Jones handles the unusual nature of the performance in a way that never calls much attention to itself. The film is a thoughtful rumination on identity. It doles out information at a satisfactory rate, but never holds your hand with exposition. Nice score, too.

Duncan Jones churns out an excellent, thought provoking character study in his directorial debut. Sam Rockwell has given me my favorite performance of the year and is on par with Mickey Rourke's Ram (The Wrestler). Excellent pacing, no silly twists (ahem, Sunshine) and a lovable robot with Spacey's voice. Excellent film.

Poignant and interesting.

Good premise and a great leading role. The story is a bit too straightforward and fails to live up to the expectations.

What Sunshine only dreamt to be.

Not bad, but somehow very boring. Barely suitable for passing time.

Once you know the basic premise of the story, you can deduce the ending almost instantly. But that didn't stop me from throughly enjoying this contemplative and character-centered sci-fi film. Sam Rockwell keeps the movie entertaining and focused throughout, and the robotic Spacey is perfect. Just watch it with the expectation to see a visually-impressive homage to earlier times, rather than a revolution in its genre.

This was a big disappointment for me.. It wasn't that boring but i expected much more from it. The editing was distracting and got me quite disoriented and confused from time to time. There were also a lot of absurdities that got me quite annoyed..

Moon is far more contemplative and slow than the ads make it look, but this is not a drawback. It certainly has its moments of tension and surprise, but the film is most effective at enveloping you in Sam's state of mind; more than anything, what the film is interested in are his responses to the situation as more and more is revealed about the nature of his existence. It's a very impressive debut film, and a breath of fresh air in the science fiction world.

Boring movie (with a stupid premise) that doesn't try to explain most of it's inconsistencies and plotholes. Zero suspension of disbelief for me on this one. I consistently had one of these things going through my mind: "Huh?" "Why?" "WTF is going on?" How did the "evil" corporation get all these cloned bodies on the moon? Why doesn't anyone on earth seem to care where 70% of their energy is coming from (for 15 years!!!)? ...etc. It all seems far to convinient and contrived. In short: LAZY.

"Moon" represents brilliant science-fiction, plain and simple. This is a complex, slow-moving character drama built entirely on countless themes ranging from the nature of man to morality. Sam Rockwell's performance matches the quality of the script. "Moon" really is one of the best, most original, and though-provoking pieces of cinema to come out in 2009--and what a year it has been for sci-fi.

"fuck this gay moon" - sam bell

Great sci-fi on a small scale. Yes the story is somewhat predictable but it's the experience of reaching that conclusion which makes this film. You can certainly see the where it got it's influences from but it uses them to produce an original and intelligent film.

Brimming with existential paranoia and Cartesian horror, skeptical of the sanctity of memory, Moon is some good stuff. (spoilers?) When a character makes a glorious escape as his counterpart, aware of his inability to evade his own grislier fate, looks on, the movie hit me where it hurts. Wonderful score, too.

A first time look into the mindset of what it means to be a human clone. Eye-opening..

Great movie. Definitely worth watching.

Just when I thought a directorial debut couldn't match Blomkamp's this year, let alone in the same genre, Jones gives us Moon. Moon captivated me from start to finish without needing to get specific or technical about the concepts it explores. Furthermore, I found very little about the plot predictable; rather I let the film take me on its journey, fascinated as the slow but enticing mystery unfolded. I'd go on with my laundry list of adoration, but I'll conclude on Rockwell, who is perfection.

Struggled to keep my eyes open during this tired and predictable fluff. Sam Rockwell's performance was decent.

A mediation on isolation, on the nature of mortality, the constraints of environmental programming in a human versus human programming within an AI; there's a lot of thoughts to digest at the end of viewing Moon. As a setting, the atmosphere is alienating and hopeless. The story is subtle with an early plot twist that the rest of the film deals with the consequences of. Overall the film does what any good science fiction should, entertaining while subtly informing debate.
