Sam Bell vit depuis plus de trois ans dans la station lunaire de Selene, où il gère l'extraction de l'hélium 3, seule solution à la crise de l'énergie sur Terre. Souffrant en silence de son isolement et de la distance le séparant de sa femme et de sa fille, il passe sont temps à imaginer leurs retrouvailles. Mais quelques semaines avant la fin de son contrat pour l'entreprise Lunar, Sam se met à voir et à entendre des choses étranges... D'abord convaincu que son isolement y est pour quelque chose, il se retrouve malgré tout à enquêter et découvre que si ses patrons ont prévu de le remplacer, ils n'ont jamais projeter de le ramener. A moins que ce soit la Lune qui ne souhaite pas le voir partir.. (texte officiel du distributeur)

In the end it just doesn’t have what it takes for the legendary status enjoyed by milestones in intelligent sci-fi such as Space Odyssey or Blade Runner (the screenplay holds it together, but there are a couple of screaming lapses of logic), but a few times while I was watching it did occur to me that it isn’t that far off. Plus, Moon has huge potential to mature with time. And who knows, maybe there will come a time when I will have to change my comment at the beginning. P.S.: Lots of those lapses of logic may be solved by the theory about radiation sickness, but not all of them by far...

Une science-fiction stupide avec une intention louable, servie avec un montage dramaturgique moins que louable. Mais les impressions positives prédominent : Sam Rockwell joue bien et la voix de Spacey était une excellente idée. JEREMIE

Précisons d'emblée que je ne suis pas fan des films où un seul personnage occupe tout le devant de la scène et, qu’en plus, la SF n’est pas mon genre préféré. Néanmoins, après avoir lu une critique qui évoquait un film indépendant à petit budget programmé au Sundance Festival et qui acclamaient l’excellente performance de Sam Rockwell, j’ai eu envie de le visionner. Et j'ai eu droit à un drame intimiste, schizophrène par moments et chargé d’angoisse. Ennuyeux au début, mais qui fait rapidement place à une intrigue à forte dimension humaine et où il n’y a pas besoin de recourir à des êtres surnaturels, des sabres laser ou autres scènes d’action. Sam Rockwell mérite le respect, car il faut vraiment être bon pour emmener tout un film de la sorte !

Great sci-fi film. At the beginning I was afraid that what is immediately clear to smart viewers would turn out to be the shocking twist, but fortunately, the creators weren’t so naive. Moon delivers a very intelligent story, eye-candy visuals, excellent music (and catchy, I still can’t get that melody out of my head), and also emotionally strong scenes. All that together results in a unique movie that no fan of science fiction, or cinema in general, should miss. Basically flawless 5*.

Danny Boyle is often thought about, but in my opinion wrongly. Jones’s story could easily have been set on Earth, but then it lacked the "Cameron-esque" detachedly cool industrial setting that perfectly supports the film's events. The story isn't rocket science but instead rides along a strong emotional level of a lonely man, which was a challenge accepted by Sam Rockwell, who did his job with incredible grace. Not to be unfair to the director - especially the opening paranoia and the schizophrenic feel of the second half do make us think - but Rockwell's acting, backed by Mansell's excellent score, actually "made" this film. It’s an unconventional film experience, though probably without a significant audience response.

A captivating and very gradual flight through loneliness and lost identity. A soft camera, sensitive directing, dreamy music and Sam Rockwell, whose performance of the schizophrenic "mind-fucking" (as he called it) looks like an air ballet. Moon may not be philosophically or deeply spectacular, but with all the imperfections and indie smudges from tar, this is a film that is easy to fall in love with.

This series of moonwalks is clever, at times even surprisingly sophisticated, but it really lacks emotion in the last twenty minutes. Though the plot takes an unexpected turn, the thought processes are rationed out and mechanized. What bothers me the truly excessive stretching of the main idea. As much as it is likable and original, a short film format would have suited Sam Bello much better. The pleasant feeling after watching mainly stems from the lunar environment itself. The hypnotic and immersive atmosphere is the only thing that truly sticks in my mind.

Now that’s exactly what it should look like. A good sci-fi, I mean. A really captivating story, superb atmosphere, decent specially effects (in fact, for the money, wonderful) and the peerless performance by Sam “Bell" Rockwell. And to add to things, the whole time your eardrums are being stroked by the highbrow soundtrack for which Clint Mansell is responsible. It gives the whole picture a soul. Oh, and I want to have a GERTY at home too!

Dystopian sci-fi paranoia that makes strange use of cheap moon sets, technical miniatures that take us 25 years back in time, and Sam Rockwell's one man show. It's bleak, dark and depressing, but with a very lively script without unnecessary crutches. I didn’t mind the open ending, but the unbalanced pace and small budget are far worse, which unfortunately sends the film into slightly B-movie waters in the genre.

I don't know, maybe it's my mood at the moment, but Moon disappointed me more than anything else. It can't be said that it was downright boring, certainly not (although it is slow, but I don't mind that most of the time), I "just" found the plot to be terribly empty. It’s almost about nothing at the beginning, then predictable again towards the end. There were no surprises, nothing that would make me sit up and pay attention. On the other hand, it features a fine performance by Sam Rockwell, a great Mansell score, the work of a director who did the best he could for the little money he had, and a few 2001 references. Yes, it's above average, but Moon doesn't get four stars yet. Maybe next time I see it... But that's still in the stars.

A well-mixed blend of slow editing, brilliant camerawork and beautiful sets that, while not groundbreaking in the final analysis, is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Duncan Jones lets the film flow slowly, but this does not prevent him from surprising the viewer several times with the unexpected complexity of the plot, which gradually comes to light. That said, the director made a bit of a mess of it, because even though the script tries to explain everything quickly and succeeds quite well, there are still a few question marks at the end. No one can beat Kubrick's Odyssey, after all, but Moon at least reminded me pleasantly of it. And also, Sam Rockwell is a fine actor and Duncan Jones is a director who’s yet to say his last word...

Moon has the ambition to be a perfect film thanks to the script, Sam Rockwell's fantastic acting, the music, and the unique setting. The scenes with Gerty, for example, are fantastic. All that's missing for a full rating is perhaps a little more pressure on the saw.
