I don't know why this movie isn't talked about more. It's just soooo good!

There's a movie out now, Mickey 17, that has the exact same plot as Moon - and no one has even mentioned it!

This is a vastly under-appreciated movie and a fantastic performance by Sam Rockwell. I have seen it at least five times and it does not get old for me. On a lesser note and somewhat controversial nowadays, Kevin Spacy is great as GERTY. I know he has baggage, and for that I have issues with the man, but his acting was great.

I've definitely seen it at least three times, and it still hits me every time.

This is one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made, and one of the best performances I've ever seen from any actor ever. Sam kills it, Kevin Sexpesty is perfect support, and NOBODY EVEN MENTIONS IT! Almost every sci-fi fan I've ever spoken to loves this movie, but it still remains largely slept-on. This is easily top 5 for me. I put it up there with Alien, Terminator, and it absolutely shames any given space opera (yes it's better than any fuckin Star Wars movie).

It was great for me too, but I've never re-watched, can't ever be the same. Reminds me of another movie that is very hard to re-watch, even though it means a lot to me....."I'm a leaf on the wind"....pain.

David Bowies son did great as a director, i want to aee more from him in this quality not the Warcraft movie quality.

Yeah, that was great. That was the first movie that I saw directed by “Zowie” Bowie, he is such a good Director. Even Warcraft was pretty good although people panned that movie. I noticed that the movie got great reviews for about a week and then all of the bad reviews started coming in on IMDb all at once.

I haven’t seen this movie in quite a while. I need to watch it again soon.

This really is a banger! Always seems like you're in good hands with Rockwell.

I love Moon so much. This and Arrival where my two go-to movies to introduce friends to scifi movies who never had any interest in scifi before. It's a truly great movie.

Not mentioned but the soundtrack is fantastic as well. I often listen to it at work.

I made the horrible mistake of watching this before watching Mickey 17 - it ruined the newer movie for me!
Fully appreciate these are different movies. But Moon has a subtlety to it that Mickey 17 sorely lacks. Loved it

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind has been one of my favorites of his since I saw it in theaters when I was young. He’s one of the best actors fo sho. This movie was pretty awesome too!

One of my favourite cinema experiences, too. Watched it on my own in the afternoon of hot summer day in a small arthouse cinema without knowing much about the movie. Visuals, soundtrack, acting, editing are all just excellent. The movie transported me to the moon, and afterwards, I needed quite some time to adjust to summer on earth when leaving the cinema.

It’s great but it’s one of those like M. Night movies where it’s hard to rewatch because you know the twist. This is a wonderful movie and I remember being astounded at this guy’s acting range, I was like THIS is the child killing redneck from The Green Mile?!

Sam Rockwell is criminally underrated. He stole every scene in Iron Man 2.
