Sam I am. And so am I.

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2020)

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is coming to the end of his three year contract working for Lunar Industries at Sarang Station on the far side of the moon, where he is the only employee, overseeing the mining of helium-3, a revolutionary fuel. While on a routine inspection of a harvester, Sam crashes his buggy and is rendered unconscious.
Waking in the base infirmary with no memory of the accident, Sam is tended to by the base's artificial intelligence named GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey). After hearing GERTY communicating with his superiors at Lunar Industries via a communication channel that is supposedly inoperative, Sam starts to become suspicious, more-so after he is confined to the base. Deliberately creating a technical problem that requires him to go outside, Sam travels to the crashed moon vehicle where he finds an unconscious occupant: himself!
Moon is a well acted and well directed sci-fi drama and passes the time nicely enough, but it does feel a bit like a short story stretched over a feature length runtime, director Duncan Jones struggling to maintain momentum after his 'reveal' -- that the central character is a clone, and that his three year 'contract' is in fact his lifespan, after which he will be replaced by another clone. The film would have worked better as an hour long episode of The Twilight Zone, but 97 minutes is pushing it a little. Still... worth a go, especially for fans of isolated/solitary sci-fi such as Silent Running and Dark Star, or of Bladerunner, which clearly provided inspiration for much of the plot.
6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.
