Moon (2009)

Moon is an indie film that excels technically. It never once feels like it's shot on a low budget and the lighting isn't just functional, it becomes an integral part of a scene. The film steals liberally from the great sci-fi films of yesteryear, but it does so lovingly, its art imitating art imitating life. On the down side, I thought Kevin Spacey a poor choice for the voice of the computer. A little more emotion from Sam would have helped the film rise above the simple homage that it is. On a technical level it scores a perfect 5 out of 5. However, lacking pathos as it does, it earns a strong:
