Moon vs. Buried

Wow, both great...

Two high concept films dependent in large part on a tour-de-force performance by one actor, and both pull it off very well, I think. Overall I liked Moon a little more, though - the sci-fi elements and meditative tone put it more in my wheelhouse.

I think Buried is a really good film but Moon is probably one of the best sci-fi movies of the last 5 years.

Rockwell is great, but Moon didn't hook me as much as I wanted it too. Buried grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go. Easier win than it might be for others.
