Definitely top class a sci-fi comedy movie, the movie effects about the moon and space are professional in comedy movie field. Most of the time comedy movie will not put too much effort on the effects cause they want to make some good punchline, but this movie done both so excellent. It's not the traditional comedy that makes you laugh from start to end, it also have moving parts that make you want to cry! But careful! Laughing parts is coming right after moving parts that stop you feeling sad lol.

The storyline is quite interesting! The movie is filled with happiness and sadness which touches one's heart very much!

The pace is good! Funny things come and go to keep your boredom away! So even though it's a 122 -minute movie, with the random jokes, you jz don't feel that long at all!

I am impressed by the CGI of the China's production team! All things on the moon and space look so real and so good! China's special effects in movies are rather mature now!

The funny parts are simple and natural, while not the Steven Chow's kinds that are over-done or over-acted. As such, I enjoyed it very much!

Even though the Kangaroo may look rather extra and is a nuisance at the beginning, you will get to accept it and value it at last.

I love the sentimental and human-value of this movie! It touches one's heart very much!

I gave 8 out of 10. It's definitely worth your money watching the cinemas! Trust me, you wouldn't enjoy it if you watch from your TV BOX or LAPPY!! You got to watch it in the cinema in order to enjoy it! Go, Go, Go!!

Brilliantly directed, with superb acting, fabulous cinematography and a mostly funny and engaging script.

The CGI is as good as it gets, and makes the allegedly 'real' Moon missions of the 1960's (&later!) look like the shoddy fakes they certainly were.

Parts of this film reminded me of THE QUITE EARTH (1985) Australian sci-fi film.

However- The last 15minutes is very disappointing, it becomes clenchingly predictable and mawkish, and for that reason I would give this an 8 and half out of 10.

In fact the last 15minutes is full of all sorts of problems and makes you look back on the film less endearingly - as a type of glossy 'fake-space' propaganda for NASA/JAXA/ESA etc...

Nothing could go through meteorite fragments without being shredded in the process (like the unbelievable boring junk of the GRAVITY film).

The whole PREMISE of this film is unbelievable, so you can start watching knowing it is a FANTASY, not a realistic portrayal of any space station possibility. The main characters suit would be no use if any micrometeorites or shrapnel hit it, yet we can suspend our disbelief enough to enjoy the tale of his ordeal, and his slapstick relationship with a KANGEROO all as some escapist FUN..... so why ruin the ending with a stereotyped and disappointing 'climax'? Maybe producer pressure? Although I'd imagine they'd push for the opposite conclusion.

Maybe to avoid any 'awkward encounters'; as the main moon man is actually a bit of a 'creepy' obsessive character, cast in the mold of the Jerry lee Lewis/ Norman Wisdom loser/goon/fall guy, which you'd imagine has run its course by now, yet seems more persistent than ever in 'media-land'.

I am currently on holidays and decided to go to the movies. The only science fiction movie I could find currently screening was something called "Moon Man", a Chinese language movie billed as a science fiction comedy. This was about a man stranded on the moon when an emergency causes his colleagues to evacuate their moon base. That was about all I knew about it - that, and that it had done very well at the Chinese box office when it was released earlier this year. I almost didn't go, but am glad I did as I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. It was funny, and moving, and beautifully shot - the SFX and visuals and music were spectacular. It had periods of comedy, periods of groan-and-wait-it-out silliness (who brings a kangaroo to the moon?), and others of well thought out science fiction action. At times it had me laughing aloud, and it even managed to move me to tears at one spot. If I had to nit pick I would mention that they didn't make much of an attempt to simulate lunar gravity, and they had things like vehicles stirring up clouds of dust that hung in the (non-existent) air, but these are minor. The movie was subtitled and there were some signs which did not get translated, some of which looked like they were important to the plot.

There were not very many people in the session I went to (four or five, maybe) and there are not many sessions. Here in Australia it was being screened as part of an Asian film festival. I would recommend it very strongly to any science fiction fan - see it on the big screen if you get the opportunity.

Wonderfully enjoyable and suitable for the whole family, Moon Man is what I had hoped for from The Martian: The jokes are better, the science is good (enough), and the main character is far more likeable, with many moments of laughter and genuine emotion.

In a packed house of mostly Chinese viewers, everyone was having such a good time that even after 2 hours, no one budged from their seat when the end credits started appearing. The woman behind me must have said "oh my god!" to the events on screen at least a dozen times. The film is silly and fun in a way that you simply don't see in Hollywood any more.

Also, major props to the CGI and strong direction! There were so many downright beautiful scenes, taking full advantage of the space setting! This is definitely one to catch on the big screen, if at all possible!
