I'm not saying Moon should have been a different movie, I like what it tries to do. But I disagree with a lot of you in feeling the emotion/theme of the movie could've been exploited way more effectively, in a way that resonated more with the viewer.

The correct reaction.

I agree with DanJW on this one. I actually felt that Sam's reaction was much closer to what I could imagine doing if I was in his place*. I recently heard some bad news (which later turned out be not that bad after all) and I dealt with it in a way that to an outsider probably seemed as if I didn't care at all, as if I was just strolling around the house.

*Which I can't honestly imagine being in, though.

But here was a "shower scene"... Sam went into total denial about what he was seeing until he could eventually process it. That was his reaction, and it felt very different, very non-cliché and, because of that, real. I believed that that's how he would deal with it. It did feel realistic, just very idiosyncratic... but he was a very odd guy.

I guess this whole thing boils down to whether you could believe how he reacted. I was a little confused at first, but I bought into it, and appreciated the choice.
