Instant Sci-fi classic.

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2014)

Moon is an instant classic, a sci-fi masterpiece.
Sam Rockwell plays Sam Bell, an astronaut nearing the end of a 3 year contract aboard a lunar space station that's used for mining energy for Earth. The only interaction Sam has is with the station's computer, Gerty, voiced by Kevin Spacey.
Gerty's eerie, monotone voice will make you wonder if he's not a relative of 2001's H.A.L. While out on the moon to check on one of the harvesters, Sam has an accident in his rover.
To say anymore would be ruining the plot.
Moon is a rare thought-provoking, intellectual drama that succeeds in holding your attention for the duration of the film. Not an easy thing to do considering there is essentially only one character in the film.
This is a testament to Sam Rockwell. A true Oscar snub in every sense of the word.
While watching Moon I couldn't help but feel that this film was pulled right from the early days of science fiction. It could have easily existed 80 years ago.
Moon deals with some pretty interesting issues like what it's like to be alone and the toll it can take on the mind. It also deals with the treatment of the blue collar worker.
All in all, Moon is one of the very best films of the year and deserves to be seen by all.
