Just the Bad Points Review: Moon

• Fans of action flicks will find this heavy going
• This isn’t about aliens, gun fights or spaceships
• As it sounds: one man, alone in space, on the moon
• Not light entertainment
• An emotional roller coaster ride
• Don’t see it and you’ll miss out on the best movie of the year so far
