An excellent sci-fi spectacle with a mesmerizing performance by Sam Rockwell. It's further proof that Duncan Jones is one hell of a director of sci-fi thrillers (I loved Source Code). It looks terrific, it's thought-provoking and unpredictable, and Rockwell carries the movie through his intense performance. One of 2009's best, IMO. 3.5/4

Feels like an direct homage to classic sci-fi films such as: 2001, Silent Running and Alien. The story is isolated and unfolds like a mystery. It's more about ideas than anything else. Rockwell carries the whole movie with conviction and ease. The less you know about the plot the better your experience watching it will be.

This is an understated, thoughtful, and spectacular film. Sam Rockwell captivates as basically the sole character of the film and the movie treats a typical science fiction plotline with originality and emotion. Director Duncan Jones creates a masterful mood of loneliness and strange lunar beauty and the soundtrack by Clint Mansell is unforgettable.

Sam Rockwell gives a mezmerizing performance and going in completly blind of the plot I was blown away. This is a stellar old-school Sci-Fi Flick. I love it.

This is essentially a one-man show, and Sam Rockwell does an outstanding job. Although the story might not be original, the way Rockwell plays the role(s) makes it seem fresh.

I did enjoy this movie, but I'm sure I'd appreciate it more if I saw it again.

while the story isn't necessarily a new one - this is one of the best sci-fi flicks i've seen for a little while
