On finishing watching this wonderful movie I was left a little lost for words. Not many movies have done that to me ('Leon' being another) but this film excelled in all it sets out to do. It asks you to think, feel, question and enjoy what is essentially a story about one 'man' and his moon. As others have said the 'twist' is revealed quite early on in the movie but that only adds to the odd empathy you feel for Rockwell's character(s). The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that at some points in the film it has scenes which feel 'inserted' and make you wonder where they were going with it. Overall though this is a brainy and enjoyable film with enough heart to keep us film lovers dedicated until it's end (allbeit an ending which could have had more work put into it)

I was desperate to see this film when it was released. As is the way with money grabbing cinema chains, I had to wait a long time before it came to my local cinema as its not a massive blockbuster with a huge budget and unlimited distribution funds. The hype grew in my mind as I tried not to look into the film too much so as not to ruin the story as I heard it had a great twist.
Building it up in my head was not a great idea, and it never is for any film. Sadly the plot isn't all I thought it would be having pondered so much over the trailers BUT it is still very good. Sam Rockwell is incredible in this film. If you don't feel something for his character at the end you must have a heart made of stone.
I highly recommend it. The reason I gave it 4 stars is merely from a personal point of view, having expected maybe the unachievable. None the less, this is a highly enjoyable film.

A one man movie never sounds that appealing on the face of it but Sam Rockwell's performance(s) really pull you in from the word go and you find yourself invested in the character in no time. If you aren't totally feeling him by the time he wants to "go home", you mustn't have a heart at all. Clint Mansell's soundtrack sets the tone perfectly and shifts through eerie, sinister, intense, melancholic and uplifting using a few simple motifs. Cinematography and Art Direction are ACE. Excellent debut from Duncan Jones- worthy of the attention it's attracting and the awards he's been racking up and I'm very keen to see what he does next.

It's not completely without it's flaws but you can tell it was such a labour of love, that any faults almost make it even more special. Moon is as essential for fans of good character based dramas as it is for fans of sci-fi.
