Moon: Quiet & Clever Sci-Fi

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2017)

Moon is nothing like the sci-fi movies we usually see right now, like Star Trek, Star Wars and so (but this does not means I don't like that kind of movies). This is more like A Space Oddissey, Solaris or the more recent movies like Arrival or Interstellar.
It tells us the story of a not that distant future where the science has evolved to delete this energy problems by extracting a mineral from the moon surface. In this extracting bases lives Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) who is in a three year contract and is about to return to earth but things start getting more complicated and he has to face many different problems. The story was original and has enough surprises to keep you interested through the whole movie. But at many times it felt a bit slow.paced, like the director didn't knew where he had to move from one place to another.
If we talk about the actors there is not that much to talk because this is mainly a one-actor movie. Sam Rockwell did an awesome performance portraying the astronaut Sam Bell throughout the whole movie and he really captures the feelings and emotions.
And other great thing are the visuals of the moon and the space ships that appear, that looked very real. Also a very special mention to the fantastic score created by Clint Mansell that add a lot to the mystery and emotion of the film.
I Recommend you the movie if you like science fiction and you like it being clever, slow-paced and with a heart.
