Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle The Moon eventually loses its good favor and begins to feel like a hodgepodge of dangerous scenarios that a collection of studio executives forced into the final product, never coming up for air... Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The Moon is a solid action adventure drama, a mixed genre film that has a whole lot going and a whole lot going for it. Rated: 4/5 Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel North Shore Movies Once “The Moon” grabs your attention, it doesn’t let go. Similar to another crisis-in-space movie, “Gravity” (2013), it offers thrilling visuals with engaging human drama. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Perry Norton Film Threat This is a nicely realized slice of science fiction and a terrific piece of world cinema. Rated: 8/10 Feb 29, 2024 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post By turns illogical, infuriating, casually xenophobic and head-bangingly stupid, The Moon is one of the worst Korean blockbusters in recent memory. Rated: 1/5 Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India This film undeniably draws inspiration from movies like 'Gravity,' 'Apollo 13,' and 'Interstellar,' but ultimately succeeds in maintaining its own unique flavour. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Victor P The special effects were amazing. The lead male actor DO did an excellent job. The supporting acrtress Hong Seung-Hee was a scene stelaer. But overall the movie was overly melodramatic, sappy and cliched. The foreign actors who portrayed the Americans were horrible and the writer painted a very unrealistic view of NASA officials. Kim Hee-ae had major speaking roles in English but it was obvious the movie was written for a Korean audience because her English was unintelligible (they couldn't even hire her an accent coach) Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Jessica Doh Kyungsoos acting was really amazing. The movie was one stressful event after another and I truly thought it would end differently at one point. The supporting actors were also really good. The American actors in NASA sounded comical. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Jackie S Worth watching on the big screen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Wanting more Felt the movie was not long enough the end came and wanted more need a prequel for clarifications perhaps the director/ writers objective Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review JW L Rock solid effects and really great - if somewhat unbelievable - story line with main character cheating death more than my 12-year-old tabby cat. I really enjoyed it and also some of the notable Korean culture elements of honor, pride and respect to elders. I enjoy Korean culture and this movie really exemplifies those values. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Pat L This one is the best SPACE movie from South Korea so far !!! I enjoy it very much both Sci-Fi Action part and Emotional Drama part Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
