MOON - shines bright! Rating: 92 out of 100. (Based on recent preview)
Recently, I was fortunate to attend the free preview of this WONDERFUL 97-minute movie by director/screenwriter Duncan Jones(son of David Bowie) in his directorial debut.
MOON stars the talented Sam Rockwell who turned in a captivating and strong performance while carrying the movie practically on his own.
MOON is testimony that Hollywood DOES NOT need to rely on heavy CGI and loud music/sounds to create a above-average movie. Devoid of all those distractions - the audience was treated to fine acting and a mesmerizing well-written plot.
Major themes: solitude, loneliness, psychological health, life/mortality, trust/betrayal, etc.
While MOON is not a 'Hollywood Blockbuster' - this movie will find a appreciative audience.
VERDICT:
GO SEE IT!
MOON is one of the better sci-fi movies in recent memory.
