Moon (2009) scores a combined 2.25 out of 4 stars for One Guy's OpinionOne Guy's Opinion
An intellectual sci-fi tale that unabashedly takes its inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Unfortunately, it resembles the Kubrick masterpiece less than an episode of The Outer Limits. ...read the complete Moon movie review at One Guy's Opinion
