Moon - 10 stars out of 10

Moon - 10 stars out of 10

"Moon" is a hidden gem within the science fiction genre.  Sam Rockwell puts forth the greatest performance(s) of his career in this mindbending film.  Moon starts out as a typical sci-fi movie but after the first major twist 30 minutes in, your attention will not waver for a second.  This movie takes a concept that is typically received with skepticism but presents it in a way that makes it completely believable.  I won't reveal what this concept is, but I will say that the only thing missing from this movie is the explanation of "how?"    I feel that GERTY had to be a tribute to "2001: A Space Odyssey" and Kevin Spacey was the perfect choice for the voice.  He really brought life to that computer.  Overall, this is an incredible one-man show as Rockwell lights up the screen with drama and intrigue.
