    I liked the show. I really enjoyed MOON as well. I have to say, even though I had seen the trailer, I was still surprised in how the particular twist was revealed – which I'm sure would be more surprising if I wasn't aware of the twist. But, I'm one of those people that goes to the movies more for the journey, than for the plot. (Which might be why I tend to enjoy a lot of movies, that would be considered bad – Transformers 1, for example; although I disliked 2 a lot.)

    While I did like the way that they worked with the one actor/two roles, thing, there were a few moments that didn't seem that believable. (I actually thought that the ping-pong part wasn't that great. Fun, but not great.)

    Also, the countdown clock seemed to be either really slow, or Sam Rockwell can move really fast? (ie. searching the whole complex and/or driving all over the moon.)

    But, I agree. Great movie, even better as a low-budget, science fiction movie.

    [...] Moon: When Sam emulates Dave Bowman’s ultimate trip, but instead of experiencing terror, he’s whopping and hollering like a child on a rollercoaster; the most delightful homage to Kubrick I think I’ve seen. [...]
