Totally average film and so not deserving of the hype. Add Inglorious Basterds to that list as well.

I wasn't impressed. Thought it was going to be a fairly original idea, but soon developed into a regular sci-fi clone.

I didn't know it was out on DVD yet. There is another film named Inglorious *******s, which was made in 1977, and that is listed on sendit.com for £3.89, so perhaps that is what you saw in HMV. A quick look shows that inglorious basterds isn't due out until 7th Dec.

True Blood (ch4) esp SE2 is leagues ahead of this tripe and it's just a TV series.

Watched this tonight and really enjoyed it. Refreshing to watch a film without the usual hollywood cheese (aka 2012). The plot and twists were fairly predictable but that's no bad thing; most films twist the plot to stupid degrees simply to try and twist the plot to stupid degrees. This told a story, one that I found both interesting and believeable. A little slow at points so not a film to watch when you are wanting something a bit more upbeat.

I bought it from Play as a pre-order, since I'd seen various people saying how good it was. Maybe on here, although the stupid search function says there are no hits on the word 'moon' at all...

I found it slower than I expected, and the very low budget showed in the way certain things on the set looked a bit shaky. However, it really was a proper film with a plot and acting and some thoughtful writing. Very brave to leave some plot resolution to a bit of background audio in the last few seconds of the film...

I'm not convinced that it is one I should have bought. It seems that it is also being given out as a freebie with some BD players so the market will be awash with them soon.

I do agree that without films like this we'd be left with dozens of rubbish Hollywood 'blockbusters' for attention-deficit teenagers, so I'm glad somebody made it and I'm glad I watched it.

Yeah, especially Chesney Hawk's One and Only

Since I'm a nerd, I noticed the 'rifle' on the one of the 'rescue team' was actually a Tippmann paintball marker.

Finally watched this, it was OK but I was expecting a little more, it was all too obvious, so much for the so called twists, more of a meandering 3 point turm....

Just watched it.

Thought it was excellent. Yes, obvious; but very well done and watchable.

Major homage to odyssey.

Turned off after 20 minutes and watched an episode of The Inbetweeners instead. Much better.

I've watched it recently and really enjoyed it. Had the sort of eerie atmosphere of 2001. Great soundtrack too.

I thought there was a bit of homage to Space 1999, similar fonts and moonbase look to it

I thought it was pretty good.

No action movie, but thought provoking and sad.

But then again, I thought "Man from Earth" was amazing.
