Entertainment Reviews:
Rockwell's presence gives the movie a funky humanity....MOON has an honest-to-goodness personality. -- Grade: B+
A.V. Club
A well-assembled sci-fi thriller.
Hollywood Reporter
Directed and conceived by Duncan Jones, Moon is quiet and disturbing, yet manages to be hopeful in the face of overwhelmingly grim conditions.

io9.com
3 stars out of 4 -- MOON, a superb first feature directed by Duncan Jones and starring an impressive Sam Rockwell, is an intelligent, evocative and deceptively low-key sci-fi adventure.
USA Today
Moon actually gets a little dull in the later reels, just when it should be peaking in mystery and tension.
Variety
Rating: 4/5 --
[A] beautifully-crafted fable about the consequences of human greed and unfettered technological endeavour that's plausible enough to be genuinely chilling.

[A] modest, haunting feature....MOON is an exercise in minimalism, pairing down a complex futuristic scenario into what is essentially a one-person drama.
New York Times
Product Description:
Science-fiction films are usually big-budget blockbusters more concerned with special effects than with character, but MOON goes the indie route, using a five-million-dollar budget to create a thought-provoking film. First-time feature director Duncan Jones wrote the part of Sam Bell, a miner living in isolation on the moon, with CHOKE’s Sam Rockwell in mind, and it’s perfect casting. MOON begins when Sam’s three-year contract with Lunar Industries is almost up, and it isn’t soon enough for the isolated man. Communication is down, and he is only able to send and receive prerecorded messages home, so he has had no real-time contact with his wife and daughter. An accident in a lunar rover leaves Sam stranded, but he wakes up back in the station, where he encounters someone who looks exactly like him, just a little younger. With the help of the base’s robot, Gerty (voiced by Kevin Spacey), Sam tries to uncover what lies beneath the gleaming surface of the base.
Production designer Tony Noble has created a cold, utilitarian set for MOON, reminiscent of sci-fi classics such as 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and ALIEN. The minimalist surroundings and small number of special effects allow Rockwell’s strong performance to shine in what is essentially a one-man film. There are very few shots without Rockwell’s presence, and he is adept at communicating the Sams’ variety of emotions. Rockwell is undeniably the center of the film, but Jones has made a stylish debut that promises an impressive filmography in the future.
