Arguably the most criminally underrated sci fi film of the 21st century. This movie doesn't get as much love as it deserves. I was mesmerized by Sam Rockwell in this. He deserved an Oscar nomination.
I am retrospectively shocked he didn't get a nomination for his outstanding performance!
Better than gravity or interstellar
It was great the academy made up for lost time when he won for three billboards
not underrated underperformed because im seeing nothing but praising reviews
Exactly! Its amazing! Its absurd that it didn't get recognition coz I didn't even hears of it.
Clint mansell music & Sam Rockwell performance makes me re-watch this movie again and again..
The music is excellent as well, I agree!
I've watched this film three times, and I still have the same opinion. Moon is one of my all time favourites ever made. And after seeing Source Code, I think that Duncan Jones might be my favourite director.
@@MrMarioguy888 I've seen it three times as well. I thought I would not like it that much the second time, because I knew what will happen, but I loved it even more, because I felt Rockwells acting even stronger. When I watched it the third time, it connected me so much to my fathers dying process (he had passed away a few months before), I was absolutely stunned.
If aliens one day consider our species as unworthy, the underrating of this movie will be a main argument.
Better then gravity or interstellar
i agree Moon is a brilliant film :) ....Sam Rockwell should have got an oscar for his performance...but sadly genre films and performances like this never get the attention they deserve :(
I agree, I can't believe he didn't even get nominated!
Better than gravity or interstellar
@@petyakov9200 This time with an "a". lol
Another huge reason to watch this film: THE SOUNDTRACK!
Yes! The soundtrack is great!
"The Nursery" starts playing.
*sobs quietly in corner*
Moon is a great movie, I love intelligent scifi with sympathetic characters. And Sam Rockwell is the man, he definitely needs more leading roles. He was also really good in The Way Way Back.
When I watched moon the first i was terribly sad, because I left all my family behind due economic situation and war in my homeland. Remember when he said: "I wanna go home" and he knew that he won't be able to see again because he was a clone, well then I was feeling exactly the same, I felt his loneliness.
I watched it years ago and I, too, couldn't stop talking about it or thinking about it. It blew me away. Sam Rockwell deserved any and all awards he got for this and so did the director, screenwriter, et al.
I rewatched it within 5mins of finishing it when my partner arrived home and I practically begged her to watch it with me, I even paused it on the second viewing to get food rather than miss a minute of it, one of my all time favs.
The soundtrack of the movie is also amazing, Clint Mansell is a genious!
Agreed!
One of my favorite films of all time. OF ALL TIME. That and eternal sunshine and drive. Top 3.
Love those!
I just re-watched Moon and it went way up on my list... so great. Eternal Sunshine IS my favorite movie ever though
Moon was an absolutely great film! Did you know Duncan Jones is actually David Bowie's son?
Yes, I did :)
@@ImpressionBlend bastard?
holy crap didnt know but it fits awesome stuff
Just watched this movie for a second time, Sam Rockwell is fantastic in it. It's easy in my top ten sci-fi movies of all time. 😊
It only gets better on repeat viewings!
My favourite SciFi-Movies are Blade Runner, Moon and Alien (the very first Alien: I love Alien especially for the dialogues involving Ripley, Ash and Parker). Moon, Blade Runner and Alien are all three characterized by these sometimes philosophical, sometimes satirical dialogues.
Probably the best sci-fi movie from years and one of my top 5 movies.
Same for me
I felt exactly the same way. I saw it, I was blown away so I watched it 2 more times. As you said before, it’s a movie that becomes an instant classic and goes on my list for one of the best films I’ve ever seen..ever.
omg YESSSS! This is such an underrated film, and its one of my favorites! The way it shows loneliness in isolation is just perfect. Cant believe more people dont know about it, hopefully your video helps to spread some attention for this underrated gem :)
I hope so too! More people need to discover this wonderful film!
It's one of the all time best films of its genre and I don't often say that about relatively modern films.
I would put it up there with 2001: a Space Odyssey.
It's so underrated. I think people assume it will be boring but it's Not at all boring.
My favourite moment has to be just after he talks to Eve and he's sitting in the rover and we see the earth in the distance, with that music playing.
It's gut wrenching.
Moon Is one of the best science fiction films of all time.
I'm so happy I didn't watch the trailer before I watched the film. Made the twist much more impactful. Great review
All of the above. I am so in love with this beautiful, tragic film. Sam Rockwell *just* got his first Oscar (and a BAFTA, Golden Globes, and Independent Films... awards this year) -- but anyone who's seen Moon just sees that coming. Moon is a diamond in the rough, and certainly in my top 10-5 films ever

Great idea with "most requested to least requested" excellent tailor made interaction tool for your audience especially as your audience grows ... will definitely be checking it out. "Moon" one of my absolute favourite Sci Fi movies of all time - good to see you veering off the beaten track and discovering some real gems for your appreciative audience. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching :) I'm excited to make more of these!
One of my all time favourite science fiction movies
Love this film!
Such an under-appreciated gem!
Finally!!! been looking for validation since 2009. This movie hit me hard, and not many movies have done that for me. It's just all those things Impression Blend described and a wide range of emotions all coming at you. Once you get hit by the bombshell in that scene you'll understand what I mean. You can feel what the character is feeling through out the movie after the plot is revealed to you. This movie is deep and the Sci-fy is just cake frosting for those space lovers like me. Thanks for the recognition this movie deserves. It's a Gem among a sea of plastics.
Thanks for watching the video! This film is so under-seen, it's really a shame - everyone needs to watch _Moon_, it's just outstanding.
Do have to watch this film again really liked it the first time I saw it.
It's solid f*cking gold. Sam Rockwell puts in a legendary performance that was easily worth an Oscar nomination.
I don't know how I ended here but I agree 100%... That movie is my favorite sci fi movie so far.
Enjoyed your review and enjoyed reading all these positive comments. Huge buzz for me, as I was modelshop supervisor on moon (my name is Steve Howarth)....I thank you.
That's amazing! The way this film was brought to life with minimal CGI is fantastic, you guys rock!
Moon is one of my favourite sci-fi movies, and is part of a trend of intelligent thought-provoking indie sci-fi, like Coherence (definitely watch it!), Predestination, Ex Machina, and Snowpiercer. These films are far more interesting than recent big-budget sci-fi movies (and blockbusters in general), and I hope this trend continues. Ok, movies I'd love to see you review:
- Mulholland Dr. (my second favourite movie, after the LOTR trilogy)
- Cloud Atlas (one of the most ambitious movies ever made)
- Spirited Away & Howl's Moving Castle (my favourite anime movies)
- The Grand Budapest Hotel (Wes Anderson's finest, and definitely something for you)
- Inglourious Basterds (my favourite Tarantino movie, and yours too IIRC)
- The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (childhood nostalgia, and somewhat forgotten, but I love it)
I'm really hoping this is a trend, love Ex Machina, Snowpiercer, and Predestination! Still need to see Coherence though. Added the movies to my list :)
Very comprehensive review (while avoiding spoilers); good job! Love this film. Rockwell is one of my favorites and this is a tour de force from him. Moon also makes a good follow-up to 2001: A Space Odyssey since it has a lot of similar elements
Thank you! It's about time for me to revisit _2001_ :)
I adore Moon :) It's definitely one of the most unique sci-fi films I've seen, and Sam Rockwell is superb
Agreed! More people need to see it, they're really missing out.
+Impression Blend well I've been waiting for this movie Miranna can't wait to see it :)
i'm not a native english speaker but i understood pratically all what you said ! Thanks for your point of view of this magnificient film !
Coherence is one indie sci-fi movie that is probably my favorite in that category. I feel like it has the complexity of Primer that people love to talk about, yet I think its a lot more polished than Primer. I do really like Equals as well even though a lot of critics aren't too impressed with it.
I loved Coherence!
I keep seeing people mention _Coherence_, clearly a movie I need to watch. Checking out _Equals_ as well, I've actually been looking forward to it - the trailer looked interesting.
I had the same feeling walking out of the theater. I proclaimed to my wife and friends right there that is an all time masterpiece
I love this film so much. It inspired my writing career. Definitely in my top 10. Thank you for reviewing this!
I become a huge fan of Sam Rockwell after watching this movie
this movie is mind blowing if you actually able to understand it
This is the Best Sam Rockwell movie!
Meh he was more believable in Galaxy Quest
@Jeb Pleb More believable? Sam Bell seems like a real person, and his dialogue/mannerisms are some of the most natural, human performances I've ever seen.
How good is Galaxy Quest, then? Cause it'd have to be pretty damn believable on Sam's part to top Moon 😅
@@jebpleb1803 I was just gonna say that....
This sounds like EXACTLY my kind of movie, very excited to watch it now!!
Yes! I think you would love it!
"I am the one and only..."
Now that you've seen Moon you should see Source Code, and wait for the Moon sequel, Mute to come out on Netflix.
Source Code is also a great film, not as near perfect as Moon. Although Source Code in my opinion breaks your expectations.
Just from the cover and the visuals you'd expect Source Code to be a schlock 12A action film, however when you watch the film you'll realize why the film is great. And why Duncan Jones is a great director.
He's made two of my favourite films of all time.
No moon sequel on Netflix still...
1 minute in and I’m sold, gonna give it a watch right now
i saw it years ago, think imma rewatch it
Do it! :)
Thanks for the excellent review! This one is now officially off my wish list at Amazon and on its way to my home...
Thanks for watching :) Enjoy the movie!
I love your "X Reasons Why You Should Watch XXX" series. Unlike other critics, I actually like all the films you have recommended. Very well done and great taste ;)
Moon was a fantastic movie! I watched Source Code straight after and I was so impressed with Duncan Jones :)
Moon is one of my favourite films, you should review Gattaca!
I'm definitely going to watch this now. If you haven't seen United 93, I highly recommend it because it has the most powerful and emotional ending I've seen in a film.
Haven't seen it, adding it to my watchlist!
Omg I couldn't agree more.
This movie is the definition of "underrated."
I wanted more for a long time after watching it. But all you can do is watch it over and over looking for stuff you might have missed lol because a sequel just wouldn't be the same.
Sometimes there's a movie Universe I want to live in, and this is definitely one of them. 👍😊
My take on your request list:
Top of my list:
Let the Right One In
Forrest Gump
Memento
Amadeus
Whiplash
Followed by (mostly because of nostalgia)
Star Wars
Raiders
Dazed and Confused
Casablanca
I didn't care for
Her
Lost in Translation
Mullholland Drive
(I also didn't like Lucy)
There are others on the list that I like, but just wouldn't rank them.
Just finished watching "Moon". At first I thought the movie was just going to copy "2001: A Space Odyssey", but I'm glad it went the other direction. Definitely drew some inspirations from other sci-fi movies as well but I thought for the most part it was original. I like "Moon" a lot because it has that "mystery" element to it as well. My only complaint is that I felt like the ending was a bit rushed and they could have "resolve" it better.
I wish more people would have seen this. The same with The Machinist, Gattaca, etc.
O.K., but, really, why do they even need the Sam clones? I mean, from everything we're shown, the person does very little - it seems, for at least several days (i.e., the span of the film's story) - contributory to any sort of mission. The miners run themselves, and G.E.R.T.Y. likely can do just fine in maintaining the base. Would the cost even be worth it of having manufactured evidently hundreds of clones - any one of which, upon just a few snafus, could bring down the entire operation?
Moon is a great movie.I also like Dark City,Under the Skin,The Incredible Shrinking Man,The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Thing from Another World.
I LOVE _Dark City_, one of my favorites! Thank you for the suggestions :)
Moon was wild, I told tons of people to watch this. 2 actors (and some extras). Beautiful story telling, character development of 2 people, great psychology, and fantastic acting.
Need to rewatch this one. Captured the feeling of isolation and loneliness so well.
5 stars. Wouldn't expect anything less for the son of David Bowie. Duncan Jones is a genius, just like he was.
Gerty is the best AI ever.
If you like Moon, I suggest "Silent Running".
Looking forward to these reviews of older releases.
Your review made me need to see this Film ASAP! Sam Rockwell is so underrated.
Sam Rockwell is an absolute beast. If you haven't already, you should watch a movie called The Way Way Back. Sam Rockwell is one of the leads and it's fantastic.
You TOTALLY need to see this ASAP! Enjoy!
This movie is so amazing I love it so much saw it just yesterday picking it up on BluRay.
Definitely one to have in your collection!
+Impression Blend yeah most defiantly it is in my top 5 movies of all time. My top 5 goes Her, Dark Knight, Taxi Driver, 2001 A Space Odyssey, then Moon!
Nobody's gonna see your NASA T-shirt if you crop it :) "Moon" is very smart and interesting. So is "Stranger Things" on Netflix. Everybody should watch it ASAP! It's Speilberg meets Stephen King with it's own unique elements.
Haha but you saw it! It's like an Easter egg, you have to pay attention to notice :P _Stranger Things_ is great, I'm almost done with it, sad it's only 8 episodes :(
Moon is simplistic and humbling. I loved the movie it's been a while since I seen it. Have you seen Lucy or Ex Machina? Great philosophical movies to sit back and think about after watching.
Loved _Ex Machina_, but _Lucy_ - not so much.
I get that this film is a discourse about a handful of ideas like reality, existence, and what it means to be human. Having that said, doesn't it seem like there's a much cheaper, mechanical way to deal the situation depicted in the film?
Love this movie, and how appropriate that David Bowie's son's first feature takes place in space. I also agree with previous comment about Europa Report. I am not a fan of found footage movies, but Europe Report is one of the best I've ever seen.
I'm not a big fan of found footage either, but that one looks really interesting!
It's one of the best sci-fi movies that's so realistic so human and it made you think like Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey.It is in my top 10 of best sci-fi movies. I think Sam Rockwell did an excellent job and he managed to give some comic relief as serious as the plot was. Kevin Spacey as the voice of Gertie was very comforting the exact opposite of Hal of 2001 A Space Odyssey
just watched moon for the first time after having it on my watchlist for quite some time (years)... soooo good!! sam rockwell is always a win but here he's even better. ...also loved the music to the beautiful imagery.
Glad you loved it! It's such a powerful film.
Hey, have you seen interstellar? It's one of my favorites
The soundtrack was really good, too! Loved the score to this movie, it stuck in my head for a while after seeing it! A truly perfect movie!!
Thanks for the kind review! You catually used the wrong poster though - it's easily noticable through a typo. The strap line says "950,000" when it should be "250,000". The one you have here is the early artwork that was circulated before we got it fixed ;)
Reason #6, Duncan Jones is the son of Rock N' Roll Legend David Bowie
Moon is a very underrated film. Check out these other great Sci fi films. Capricorn One, Gattaca, Love (2011), Melancholia, and Forbidden Planet...Sam Rockwell was awesome in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"., Yes i know it's a long ass title for a film, but def worth checking out.
Thanks for the recommendations! LOVE _Gattaca_, excellent film :)
Just looked at your list online and I would love to see a video about The Double
Love this show! I didn't expect to love it but I did. It keeps you guessing, is heartfelt, and makes you question things. Do what Mariana says and watch it ! 💜
Thank you for the review... going to buy the 4K next week. Looking forward to seeing it.
The most depressing, harrowing film I ever saw. Loved it. A different kind of horror movie.
Brilliant film. Great review without giving the plot away.
One of my top films too! Thanks for this, we click on so many feelings about this great movie.
god i forgot about Moon. it was a real good movie. now i had to go and watch it again. i'm bumped that moon didn't get more attention. it has really good writing and directing.
LOVED THAT MOVIE!
i wish you had more subs, you do really do nice analysis, compact without bullshit
Thank you :)
Love your movie reviews because your commentary is so observant of all the important aspects of a film. Speaking of film, did you see Maggie (2015) yet? :D
Thank you! I haven't yet >.< It's in my Amazon Prime queue though, so that's a step in the right direction lol
Was curious about this movie, so I came to this site, and saw all the positive comments and great reviews. So I'm now watching it. : )
Love that you're wearing a nasa shirt for this vid ;) also! I'm totally going to watch this movie now!!
Haha I was wondering if anyone would notice ;) Enjoy the movie!
Who's that girl in the moon movie tho? That he either imagines or sees? 👀
This sounds so good. As somebody who loved The Martian and those kinds of scifi films, I'm adding this to my watch list. I always like Sam Rockwell in films as well, so that's another plus!
This is VERY different from _The Martian_, much more introverted, though I guess the isolation part is similar. Check it out, for sure!
One of my favorites!
u r good. ur analysis is spot on. great movie. will watch Sam in anything... best performance ever in Green Mile.
Thank you! _Green Mile_.... man, that movie is tough to watch.
I just watched it because of your review, it was really great thanks. I have a little question though. The name of the Lunar station was "Sarang", it was written in English and Korean. Does that mean he works for a Korean company? Is there any behind story that maybe that Korean company took over the world? I wonder what's the behind story of this movie.
PrankFrank maybe you should watch it less a a science fiction film and be worried about the lore "inside" the film. Instead try to so similarities between the film and real life.
My girlfriend said "what's it all about?clones life 3 year's?" I said " it's about working class which work all day long they're whole life in hope to have a good time in they're pension!but in the end it's all a lie. You are treated like a machine.The last minute is essential for this message, because even if he tryd to left the system there is no escape and he will be put to jail.
That name of the company sound Asian is no coincidence: there are people right now working in such big company's that they have they're own kindergarten and cemetery ,every day , just to feed other people with smartphones plastic toys and other shit.
I hope you understand me.english is not my 1st language.
Love it! Thanks you.
Sam Rockwell, my fave, was excellent in this one.
Moon is a fantastic film. I am so glad you saw it.
One of my favorite movies ever! EVER!!!
Such a haunting movie...Re-watched several times.
Great underrated movie there! If you like indie or foreign films I recommend "Smashed" & "The Hunt" both are such good compelling dramas.
Thanks for the suggestions!
This is in my top 10 favourite movies..
Great movie! Duncan should shoot more
Watching some of your older videos. Love the NASA tee shirt 💙
Yes. One of best movie.
Saw Amadeus on that list. I remember wanted 2 see ur review on it. Glad 2 see it on there.
