While 'The Moon' impresses with its lunar scenes, the overall story is a bit predictable. You can guess what will happen next and how the story will end. Dealing with this kind of theme makes it challenging to avoid predictability. But the fantastic special effects and the moon sequences make up for the plot's predictability.
The story begins with South Korea preparing for its second mission to the moon after a failed first attempt. A mishap on the moon leads to the deaths of two astronauts, leaving Hwang Sun-woo (played by Doh Kyung-soo) in a dangerous situation, struggling to rescue himself and return to Earth. With no clear plan for Hwang's rescue, the Korean Space Mission turns to the disgraced former director, Kim Jae-guk (Sul Kyung-gu), for help.
'The Moon' takes inspiration from movies like 'Gravity,' 'Apollo 13,' and 'Interstellar' but manages to have its own unique style. The impact of the plot lessens when we find out that the stranded astronaut is the son of Kim Jae-guk's former colleague who died in the initial moon mission. The convenience factor increases when we learn that the NASA director is Moon Young (Kim Hee-ae), who is also Kim's ex-wife. 'The Moon' falls into the category of sci-fi disaster films that Hollywood loves, but it stands out with its tasteful execution. Even if the plot is not groundbreaking, the lunar scenes alone make the movie worth watching, ensuring that your time is well spent.
