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 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'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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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 .
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.
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
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.
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. 👍😊
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 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.
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.
@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 😅
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 ;)
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.
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 ! 💜
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!
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.
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
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.
yeah, i loved it too. Definitely one I want to watch again. This is good to watch multiple times, not just because it is so good, but also because there are so many little things that will actually have more meaning or maybe different meaning when you already know what is going on. It's almost like it was made specifically to be watched multiple times.
yep! Hey, what other movies do you think are made for multiple watching? Not just "so good you will like it the second time," but actually, "designed to give you a completely different experience the second time"? Maybe Fight Club? I almost want to say the original Planet of the Apes, but I'm not sure.
flex lamont Hmm... There are quite a few, most recently _Ex Machina_ which totally changes what perspective you view the film from on repeat viewings. Also _Inception_, _Mulholland Dr._, _Enemy_, _The Shining_... actually ANYTHING from Kubrick :) And many, many more!
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.
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.
+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!
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.
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.
This movie played at one of my city's art house theaters. I watched it during a matinee showing with only a handful of other people for an audience. While watching it, I felt it was a classic. For such a low budget movie, it was very well done. It is probably Duncan Jones best movie, even though he has been given a much bigger amounts of money in his more recent films. Also, I agree Sam Rockwell is a very talented actor. He should be given more jobs.
I love this movie! I saw it in the theater, knowing nothing about it other than it had Sam Rockwell in it. He is one of my favorite actors, and you are right, he is scandalously underrated. I was very sad that this movie was not put in the running for Oscar consideration, because San Rockwell nailed it! If you haven't seen it, you should catch Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. It is very strange, but is another remarkable performance by Sam Rockwell. Seven Psychopaths, too.
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.
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 ;)
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.
It happened the same thing... i felt some kind of culpability for thinking that "Moon" become one of my favorites at first watch, and being such a young movie. But it is. I agree on everything you said. it's one of those movies who is powerful at makes feel human by boosting feelings through the solitude. I love stories of humanity in science fiction envelopes, like "Another Earth" I ike the way you talk about movies, nice channel and awesome work.
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.
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.
(Aka Midnightsnacker) Love Sam Rockwell! If you haven't seen 'The Way Way Way Back' please see it. I love him in that movie and love that movie, period. Such a great summer, coming of age film that's on a regular playlist for me this time of year. Man-crushing on him big time 😆 Great review as always. I seriously look forward to all your videos every week. Woman-crushing on you big time! 👊🏼❤️😄
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.
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
I'm so happy I didn't watch the trailer before I watched the film. Made the twist much more impactful. Great review
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.

Another huge reason to watch this film: THE SOUNDTRACK!
Yes! The soundtrack is great!
"The Nursery" starts playing.
*sobs quietly in corner*
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
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!
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.
Probably the best sci-fi movie from years and one of my top 5 movies.
Same for me
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!
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!

Yes, I did :)

holy crap didnt know but it fits awesome stuff

Love this film!
Such an under-appreciated gem!
Do have to watch this film again really liked it the first time I saw it.
1 minute in and I’m sold, gonna give it a watch right now
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 :)

this movie is mind blowing if you actually able to understand it
I become a huge fan of Sam Rockwell after watching this movie
i saw it years ago, think imma rewatch it

It's solid f*cking gold. Sam Rockwell puts in a legendary performance that was easily worth an Oscar nomination.

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!
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!
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....
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 ;)

Glad you loved it! It's such a powerful film.
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 ! 💜
Moon was a fantastic movie! I watched Source Code straight after and I was so impressed with Duncan Jones :)
5 stars. Wouldn't expect anything less for the son of David Bowie. Duncan Jones is a genius, just like he was.
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!
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!
This sounds like EXACTLY my kind of movie, very excited to watch it now!!

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
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!!
Moon is a fantastic film. I am so glad you saw it.
Moon was awesome! The look of the surface of the moon was great too!!! Maybe try "The Fountain" - Crazy good!!!!!!!!!
yeah, i loved it too. Definitely one I want to watch again. This is good to watch multiple times, not just because it is so good, but also because there are so many little things that will actually have more meaning or maybe different meaning when you already know what is going on. It's almost like it was made specifically to be watched multiple times.
I agree! Definitely a movie to watch more than once.

Looking forward to these reviews of older releases.
Hey, have you seen interstellar? It's one of my favorites
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!
One of my favorite movies ever! EVER!!!
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.
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!
Such a haunting movie...Re-watched several times.
I saw this movie last weekend. Such a great movie.
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!
Need to rewatch this one. Captured the feeling of isolation and loneliness so well.
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. : )
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.

i love sam rockwell too
One of the best sci fi movies of the 2000s and an excellent performance from an underrated actor!
I'd also suggest Never let me go.
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.
Moon is one of my favourite films, you should review Gattaca!
One of my top films too! Thanks for this, we click on so many feelings about this great movie.
Thank you for the review... going to buy the 4K next week. Looking forward to seeing 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...

I'll make sure to check those out! Thanks for the recommendations :)
Sam Rockwell, my fave, was excellent in this one.
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 :)
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 ;)
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.
LOVED THAT MOVIE!
I've been meaning to see this movie for a while. Now I'm definitely going to, it seems like my kind of movie.
Do it! It's great!
It happened the same thing... i felt some kind of culpability for thinking that "Moon" become one of my favorites at first watch, and being such a young movie. But it is. I agree on everything you said. it's one of those movies who is powerful at makes feel human by boosting feelings through the solitude.
I love stories of humanity in science fiction envelopes, like "Another Earth"
I ike the way you talk about movies, nice channel and awesome work.
Thank you so much! Added _Another Earth_ to my watchlist recently :)
that walking on sunshine scene was awesome
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
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.
I can't wait for your watchman review that's my favourite movie of all time
I wish more people would have seen this. The same with The Machinist, Gattaca, etc.
Yes. One of best movie.
You look and talk so friendly that now I feel like you and I have become friends. I've decided to watch the Moon. Thanks!
You're welcome :) Enjoy!
Seen this movie a while ago, loved it.
This is in my top 10 favourite movies..
(Aka Midnightsnacker) Love Sam Rockwell! If you haven't seen 'The Way Way Way Back' please see it. I love him in that movie and love that movie, period. Such a great summer, coming of age film that's on a regular playlist for me this time of year. Man-crushing on him big time 😆 Great review as always. I seriously look forward to all your videos every week. Woman-crushing on you big time! 👊🏼❤️😄
Aww thank you :) Haven't seen it, but it's now added to my watchlist!
A fantastic movie, for all of the right reasons. I recommend, and watch, as often as possible. Nice review.
Brilliant film. Great review without giving the plot away.
If you like Moon, I suggest "Silent Running".
