Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Mepimar A man ends up on a deserted island and has to face the challenges of living in the wilderness. Sounds familiar? Then you might be surprised, because this movie offers more than that. The deserted island is right in the middle of a city, a small and unique world in which an outcast rediscovers life, uncaring of the merciless rules the city across the river obeys to. While he may be completely alone on that small piece of land, he shares this secluded lifestyle with a young woman who, like him, lives in a world of her own, but on the opposite shore, in the city. If you add to that the good camera work and all the nice music what you obtain is magic. But sadly the movie seems to go out of its way to be funny, too often. With such a nice plot I would have expected to be offered a deeper insight into the feelings of the characters and the way they evolve. Giving more weight to a couple events inside the movie and avoiding that rushed up ending would have probably offered the viewer a lot more emotions. After scrolling through all those 10-star ratings I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed by Castaway on the Moon. It had great potential, thanks to its refreshing approach to the classic castaway story. But while, from time to time, it will make you smile, it will also make you expect something more. Of course, waiting for that something will still be pleasant. Worth a watch.

vinay teja I almost lost hope that i would ever find a movie again that would make me give it a eight happily. I don't exactly remember how i found this but i am really really happy that i did.The plot of the movie is such that speaking about a small scene would be a spoiler. The only thing i would say is if you like cast away watch it and if you don't like cast away watch it. It is perfect fit for you if you are trying to forget about everything and be in a place where you would get to be with yourself for 116mins. I might have made it sound scary but believe me watch this movie and you would never regret it.

Asri Pratiwi Wulandari It seems that not all people can look through this film. Using it as some kind of glasses to see the fragments of social condition in Korea's nowadays life. Or if not glasses, camera lens.Suicide, shutting in, harsh life, fierce work competition, debt, bullying, these are the fragments of social problems put in one motion picture. Castaway on The Moon. Initially, this film will tell you about this: "Life is such a pain in the ass." And then when the man got stuck on the small island surrounded by the city scape it tells you again: "It even kicks you out." but then you'll be told: "But it's not that bad." To me, that is the idea about this film. Life has its bitterness and its salvia flower. Life has hope and despair. It is fine. You just need to keep living. Cause when you stop, you lose the chance to see the other side of life. When you give in to despair, you'll never gonna see hope.

welshnew50 Despite a few flaws, this movie is a successfully reductive but also growth-stimulating , when reductive, fantasy ; of two very different, but content in their differences escapists in modernity, finding a private despite its absurdly public location, emotional space between themselves - after the less so drawn into the net , identity-precarious one, loses everything, and decides somewhat absurdly, to abandon city life upon a inlet island(after accidentally arriving there, that is) , soon preferring his own not quite right 'rationalisations' relative to all he'd thought he'd worked for , while the other, gradually finds the space between them a windowsill-like escape route she CAN take, unlike what she cannot, if she chooses to face her parents.An excellent start.though a little contrived one might say of the plot, this film is almost perfectly shot, only some scenes a little narrow, but that's kind of appropriate anyway ...But much more to its credit than how its been shot, are some of the uses of living amongst others, no-space - no-choice but to learn to live with , ironic or sardonic futilities that get the marooned stiff a little loose as he gets progressively less able to find his 'rationalisations' useful , lol, poor sucker! while at the same time, the emotionless-ness of the other character, simply ignores his plight, almost as we are all as she is , up to a point, that is... as we observe more of her obsessions and a little stereotyped isolations and quirks, she begins to lose them , finding in this separated from the rest of the city man , a kind of increasingly thick a nest , to perhaps settle down on (did I say on? , I mean in, oops! ;-D ) , which almost dimension-ally at times, she can observe perversely, in REAL 3D , unlike everything else.As he suffers of course, the plot comes to an end , as does the movie, and our own voyeurism , and it could be said , to be that simple, despite its effectiveness.I think that's a good thing in this case tho , and that that has made more time for aesthetic and effective combinations of photography, perspective, edited script rather than something too long, and detachment-metaphised between the two as I said, while between them is a gigantic mirror in itself - the reflection off the water of the river. its no romeo and Juliet, and certainly much browner(Gnomio perhaps? ), but again, that's a good thing.Serandes under the moon just put u to sleep ... yawn.this makes for a grand metaphor in a compact, emotional, and easy to follow film.re-watchable, and evocative. damn good effort.
