It feels, in large part, like a science fiction short story.<br \/>\nThe film comes in at around 90 minutes, and it&#8217;s all well handled with a satisfactory conclusion. I&#8217;ll say no more about that here, except to say that you get from it what you want from it.<br \/>\nComparisons with Inception are understandable, but unfair. That&#8217;s a different kind of film. Well worth checking out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I very much enjoyed Moon, Duncan Jones debut film from 2009.
