One Paragraph Review: Moon

Moon falls into that under appreciated category of films which are focused and completely uninterested in appealing to the broadest audience possible. Moon aptly combines the ambiance of 2001: Space Odyssey with the slow, brooding pace of Solaris and the isolation of Cast Away. Sam Rockwell delivers one of the most mezmerizing performances I've seen in years as the film slowly but thoughtfully prods at a themes of isolation, identity, servitude and half a dozen others. It's interesting, clever, and immacualtely constructed even though, to some of people, it will probably move a bit too slowly.
