Rating: 4 ½ out of 5 Stars
Moon is a rarity in the cinema, especially for the post-Star Wars era. It is a Science Fiction movie, yet it has little action, no explosions, no space battles, no guns, no nail-biting down-to-the-wire endings, and a cast that you can count on one hand. What it does have, though, is a strong story bolstered by magnificent performances from its sparse set of performers. In that respect, it harkens back to classic examples of hard science fiction in the cinema like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Andromeda Strain, and Silent Running. And that is exactly what director and co-writer Duncan Jones wanted. (Read the Full Article)

Thanks for the information about MOON. I’m going to have to git a copy. Check out my first and recently released novel, Long Journey to Rneadal. This exciting tale is a romantic action adventure in space and is more about the characters than the technology.

Brilliant, thank you. I saw a trailer for it and it did remind me alot of 2001. It’s looking like one of those rare sci-fi films that really does draw you in without needing the all too common and very over done booms, bangs and a cast list the size of my arm to make it sound good.
PS – thank’s for not “telling”!! :-)
