Moon


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Jordan, Amberly

So good. I think that trailer gives away more than you should know watching the film the first time. It's much more fun to discover it as the events unfold.

Duncan Jones's first film, thought I should give it another look as I'm excited for the upcoming release of his second feature Source Code, which looks to be another cool sci-fi head scratcher with big emphasis on character.

Sam Rockwell is just the best. The film is pretty much just him and some Kevin Spacey robot voice(GERTY is one of the best robot characters. It's a quiet and slow building film and has a bit of a twist (it's near the start though) but it's the drama and character that pull you in while the sci-fi conundrum get's your head scratching. Love that.

I love the old school effects mixed with some good compositing. Low budget film making at it's finest.

It's a pretty dire situation and although it has a bleak outlook I think the ending is hopeful. Definitely a winner.
