We all have seen Sci Fi flicks with lot of action, CGI, Robotics, crazy plots etc… but Moon is a Beautiful Sci Fi flick as the setting is breathtaking. The story is set on Moon, that’s pretty obvious but with only one main character who is isolated. We have seen other movies on similar lines namely Cast Away and I Am Legend. Sam Rockwell has done an excellent job as the Astronaut Sam Bell who is on a three year stint on the moon base. His tenure is getting over in 2 weeks and he waits eagerly to get back to earth. Half an hour into the movie I was actually bored, the narrative was extremely slow for my liking. The only thing that kept me from stopping the movie was the beautiful sequences where they show the moon’s surface. Sets and visual effects are top notch. Once the plot gets interesting I was pulled right back into the movie. Background score is intriguing which adds to the suspense. It would have made a huge difference if they had increased the pace for the second half of the movie.
I would watch Moon again just for it’s visual effects and Sam Rockwell’s performance, come to think of it there is nothing else to see in this movie :-)
