Sam Bell vit depuis plus de trois ans dans la station lunaire de Selene, où il gère l’extraction de l’hélium 3, seule solution à la crise de l’énergie sur Terre. Souffrant de son isolement et de la distance le séparant de sa femme et de sa fille, il passe son temps à imaginer leurs retrouvailles.
« An old-fashioned sci-fi movie in the best sense: far more psychological drama than space opera, dispensing with overweening CGI and loud flashy action sequences while harking back to subtler, more ideas-driven entries in the genre. » (BBC)

« The under-appreciated Rockwell finally gets a leading role worthy of his considerable talent. » (Toronto Star)
« 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 or another, including digital. John W. Campbell Jr., the godfather of this genre, would have approved. The movie is really all about ideas. » (RogerEbert.com)
