Moon

A solid film about survival, craftmanship, endurance, and conspiracy 'Moon' is impressive at every level it appears. The first half is slightly delusional but once it settles in it creates intrigue and mystic. It also makes you ask a lot of questions. The second half does a good job of answering those questions but again plays a little too much with phantasm which is either a hit or miss. Lead (and only) actor Sam Rockwell delivers an Oscar-worthy performance and is really the heart and soul of the film from every aspect. Kevin Spacey also produces a thankless but highly impressive performance.

Highs: The ambiance, mysticness, set pieces, and CGI are extremely good and deserve a lot of praise for making 'Moon' a must-watch space odyssey. The ending is sumptuous and adds a satisfying feeling. The science behind the sci-fi is very gravitating and well portrayed through the script.

Lows: Lack of clarity in dialogues makes the film more abstruse than it should have been.

Rating: 4 ****
