Moon, 2009 - ★★★★★

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (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.

Annihilation, 2018 - ★★★★

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 out of 5 stars)

I can confirm in watching this movie again that it is ambitious, original and has a fully committed cast.

If you like sci-fi and somehow haven’t seen Annihilation yet, do yourself a favor and watch it.
