While book racks are brimming with thought provoking, high concept science fiction, the movie genre tends to be populated by invading aliens, intergalactic wars, and adventure, which makes Director and co-writer Duncan Jones' Moon that much more of an oddity. Not... Full review

I liked how the film turned its limitations to advantage -....Rockwell gives such a credible performance.....The English director Duncan Jones loves the old stuff from the late '60s and '70s.....deriving tension from being confined to basically one set, keeping the science largely credible and relevant, extracting the best qualities of the films it emulates..... ...
