  1. Mark gets the gold medal here.

    Funny how in these movies no matter what’s at stake, no matter how much or how little time they have, no matter how grave the situation, the main character always takes time to score chicks.

  2. I found Moon very over-rated.

    Liked the script of this (as I did Moon), already suspicious of the execution based on the trailer.

    Needs to feel like Inception, feels like, well, not that.

  3. I, too, found MOON to be way overrated, and about 45 minutes too long. The idea it was based on would work as a 45-minute movie. There just wasn’t enough story to support 90 minutes, especially after the twist was revealed. Even the build-up to the twist took too long.

    I’m intrigued by SOURCE, but it’s not worth a trip to the theatre.

  4. I greatly enjoyed Moon for what it was, particularly as a first feature. I also thought Sam Rockwell gave his typically solid performance.

    But, to back up some of the earlier comments, I thought they really telegraphed the twist. Maybe because I grew up with Twilight Zone, etc., I thought it became fairly apparent early on. And, once revealed, they didn’t do much with it.

    All of which is to say that I think Duncan Jones has a bright future. I wouldn’t pin it all on Moon, though.

  5. Like others here I really enjoyed Moon. Rockwell’s performance, the old school special effects, everything just worked. Looking forward to Source Code.

  6. Moon was fine – I enjoyed it (like someone already said) for what it was. Still an over-praised film.

    That being said, I’m willing to get out of the house to see Source Code. I haven’t seen one 2011 release yet – first time in a while that’s happened 7 weeks into the year.

  7. “Funny how in these movies no matter what’s at stake, no matter how much or how little time they have, no matter how grave the situation, the main character always takes time to score chicks.”

    Well, we already established in the last thread that you hate people (which I had already kind of gleaned by scrolling past your political posts over the years, but whatever) but dude — do you even like movies?

    Replace “funny” for “awesome” and we’re actually in 100% agreement (nevermind the fact that it looks like a very real possibility that there’s no technical “scoring” in this movie at all — just dying).

  8. Guys, I’m all for visceral bottom-line judgments when it comes to whether you liked a film or not — and Lord knows I can be just as much of a Negative Nancy, if not moreso, as every single one of you — but I’m not sure the words “overrated” and “overpraised” really belong in a discussion about Moon.

    It was shot in a month (during the ’08 writer’s strike) on a budget of $5 million by a first-time feature director.

    The s.f. ceiling of “scope” here was always going to be much more in the Pi/Cube neighborhood than that of 2001/Alien. By the same token, I’m not sure what the budget was on this, but a direct comparison (at least fx-wise) to Inception is already way out of bounds…$200 million buys you a whole lotta “world-density.” I think this could have the feel of a ’90s-era Proyas flick, which would be just A-okay by me.

    (Incidentally, I just IMDb’d him and it appears Alex is possibly adapting John Milton’s Paradise Lost for the big screen? Talk about a perfect pairing…that could be a huge comeback project for him — not to mention Larry Kasdan!)
