Sci-fi movies are a select little bunch. To make a good one, you need to fill in at least 75% of the plot holes, create a believable space environment, and truly capture the alternative universe you're trying to portray. Moon does this in strides, with excellent cinematography and music by Clint Mansell. The script is quite well-written and the story is told in a very character driven way. It's probably a bit too story driven for all you explosion-aholics (I suggest watching my previous recommendation on The Hurt Locker instead), but if you dig that sorta 2001: A Space Odyssey sort of thing, you'll definitely enjoy Moon. 8.6/10.
