The previews suggested an atmospheric, claustrophobic, old fashioned science fiction movie in the style of 2001 and Alien. Something we've all been waiting for.
Three things made this movie an amazing experience - Duncan Jones skilfully subtle direction, Sam Rockwell's stellar 'one-man band' performance, and the moody music of Clint Mansell lurking in the background. Moon is a throwback to the smart sci fi movies of the 70s and one that is entirely welcome.
Side note: The soundtrack is so good, I bought it the next day.
Second side note: Adrian McKinty compares Moon to another sci fi classic here.
