Moon

What I like most about the 2009 film "Moon" is the amazing and heartbreaking emotional drama. Developing an emotional subplot in a science fiction film is the most difficult task. Because you must concentrate on the science concept while also creating a strong dramatic element to enhance your storytelling. However, screenwriter Nathan Parker did an excellent job. It's a low-budget film, but the "Emotional Drama" is where the film shines. To be honest, this film made me cry.

It could have been great. The performance is very good and the whole idea could have become something greater. It is well done. But it is kind of predictable and the worst thing: it´s boring. I love these type of films but I wanted it to end at times. I am sad to say it but you can skip it. There are more powerful films which deal with similar issues.

It does its thing really well. My main gripe is that it didn't really say anything relevant about life. I like sci fi to touch on relevant political or philosophical issues. Or maybe it was just the relatively slow pacing and the constant use of the same piano theme.

Watched the whole thing but ended up feeling like it was a waste of my time. Now I hesitate adding adding movies to my watch-lists if Sam Rockwell stars. Working on that.

This movie is let down by presenting a plot which is frankly, disjointed. I cannot remember the last time I found it necessary to access the internet to understand the mess I was watching on screen. The fact no one seems able to concisely describe the plot is testament to it's lunacy. even the synopsis presented here at Metacritic is a bit different to what happens on screen. I have seen claims of intellectual this and that in regards to this movie but seminal it ain't. One of the pivotal moments of the film, when the 2 clones meet each other, is an exercise in pure fallacy. Of all the things that would occur, ignoring each other is definitely not something anyone (any couple) would do, especially on a one man lunar station.
