\"Moon-Review-Logo-v5.1\"<\/p>\n

When we came around once again to our Worst Film Week, we decided to offer a spot in the site to former regular author The Secret Squirrel. The Secret One, who may be either female or male, left us a year or so ago to pursue family commitments, and so could no longer continue to write for us. But back in August, I sent a missive to the Secret One to ask if he\/she would be willing to jot a few precious words down about a film he\/she hated. And so, without further ado, what you read below are the few precious words I received in reply.<\/h3>\n

Oh, I have added edits in bold<\/strong> typeface.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Moon<\/em>, I think this is one of those \u201clove it or hate it\u201d films.
\nA monotonous, slow-moving, primitive sci-fi movie. The plot was not terribly predictable, however, after the small mystery was revealed about 2 thirds of the way through, I certainly did not feel I missed out on anything when asleep through the rest.
\nIt must be\u00a0 a trying role to act opposite yourself, the actor (Sam Rockwell<\/strong>) does manage it well, but it was really a small interest point within a huge, empty movie. I can’t remember any funny scenes, there were no pivotal moments, and with little unrealistic food for thought. It had a run of the mill \u201cAverage Joe vs. What Humans\/Government\/Technology have Created\u201d feel.\u00a0 Don’t remember the soundtrack (by Clint Mansell<\/strong>), the set was nothing beautiful, and I never created any sort of attachment with the characters involved.
\nDuncan (Jones, the director<\/strong>), all the best, but I will not be anticipating the next release just yet.<\/p>\n

Oh, how we missed you, oh Secret One. Thanks once more to the Secret Squirrel for coming down out of his\/her tree to once more bless us with his\/her words of wisdom. I guess Moon ain’t no great film for a fluffy tree-dwelling mammal!!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
