Moon

The last place you'd ever expect to find yourself

Set on the moon some time in the future, our hero is a lonely astronaut nearing the end of his three-year stay on the moon. He has been there all alone, keeping an eye on an automated mining operation. His only company was a talking computer. Now, however, it seems as if there is someone else around .... or is he just losing his mind?

Chicago Sunday TimesRoger Ebert Moon is a superior example of that threatened genre, hard science-fiction, which is often about the interface between humans and alien intelligence of one kind of or other, including digital.

eye Weekly (Canada)Jason Anderson The movie’s pervasive air(lock) of unease is initially compelling but it’s hard not to feel that, if the premise were in the hands of Philip K. Dick or Dan O’Bannon, the results would’ve been more provocative and less steeped in the one-note melancholy of so many earthbound American indie flicks.

Rolling Stone (US)Peter Travers Moon is a potent provocation that relies on ideas instead of computer tricks to stir up excitement.

ScreenIt (USA)C. Fuchs It's not bad, it's just frustrating when any number of fixes -- some small, some needing a bit more involved surgery -- could have made it so much better.
