Shoot the moon (for a mere 5 million dollars)
Quickly reviewed: Moon (2009)
Directed by Duncan Jones, starring Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey.
This movie will be remembered less for its art, which is mediocre and derivative, and more for its feat of making a visually dazzling sci-fi movie on a shoe-string budget. One can imagine a scenario in which independent movie-makers, inspired by Moon, make original, high concept movies that exert competitive pressure on the big-budget fantasy and comic book franchises. Hollywood won’t be able to shit out Aquaman 10 and expect to keep the same percentage of market share.
