Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The film is not entirely logical, but it raises pleasing questions and looks beautiful.

fresh:
An eccentric sci-fi which cleverly deconstructs the mythology of the Star Treks and Star Wars which have colonised the future of our imaginations with their glamour, self-importance and operatic sound tracks.

rotten:
Moon actually gets a little dull in the later reels, just when it should be peaking in mystery and tension.

rotten:
Start calculating the costs to Lunar Industries of its singular form of devaluing, and Moon's central premise stops making sense.
