Moon stars Sam Rockwell (who I love) and was made for the hefty price tag of $5 million dollars. That's a joke, because today $5M is beans for a science fiction movie. It received a lot of good reviews, but I have to say it was a little on the thin side story-wise.
On the one hand, while I appreciate the stripping away of a lot of the sci-fi fakery that goes on nowadays in movies calling themselves sci-fi, in the end I just felt that although the premise was very interesting it was executed in a mundane way. Had it explored it on a slightly more thoughtful level, they might have pulled it off, but in my opinion the script was just not up to it.
Not to say that it's not worth seeing for people who are interested in film, but not for that price and not on the big screen. Maybe more is being made of it than should for the fact that it's directed by Duncan Jones (who is David Bowie's son) and was made for so little.
