⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5 stars)
This is the last one for today, I promise.
Another rewatch, Sam Rockwell’s performance puts this movie on a level with The Martian.
I know they’re very different movies, but, for my money, Moon does at just as much with fewer/older VFX and a much lower budget.
How much lower?
Well, The Martian had a $108 million budget. (Source, via Wikipedia)
Moon had a $5 million budget. (Archived source, via Wikipedia)
And a little piece of trivia: Benedict Wong is in both Moon and The Martian, not to mention Annihilation, which I also recently re-watched.
