| Cape Times Betsy Sharkey This is ground control to major strain | 10 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Moon is a superior example of that threatened genre, hard science-fiction, which is often about the interface between humans and alien intelligence of one kind of or other, including digital. | 18 | |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson The movie’s pervasive air(lock) of unease is initially compelling but it’s hard not to feel that, if the premise were in the hands of Philip K. Dick or Dan O’Bannon, the results would’ve been more provocative and less steeped in the one-note melancholy of so many earthbound American indie flicks. | 5 |  |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Moon is a potent provocation that relies on ideas instead of computer tricks to stir up excitement. | 18 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs It's not bad, it's just frustrating when any number of fixes -- some small, some needing a bit more involved surgery -- could have made it so much better. | 10 | |
