A slow decent on a thrill ride

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2019)

Moon is a Sci Fi movie that comes along every once in a while one that stands out because of its uniqueness and clever writing with no need for fast paced action scenes and loud music to play over every scene all a movie with this level of depth needs is your attention and a seat to keep you on the edge of as it tells you a thrilling and interesting story with beautiful visuals and sound.
The Idea behind it is 1 man runs an energy mining operation on a small base on the Moon no human contact his only friend a Robot Named Gerdy who is there to assist him and keep him sane the harvesting machines mine and he maintains them sending energy caches back to earth when they are full it is 3 year contract and he has just 2 weeks left until he gets to go home to his wife and daughter but after an accident where he crashes his rover into a harvester he blacks out and wakes up in the base infirmary with Gerdy to greet him but all isn't what it seems to be and his curiosity makes him search for answers to 3 years worth of questions but the answers he finds aren't what he expected them to be.
The movie well small in size and budget is extremely well done giving us what feels like a very real experience of what it would be like to be alone in space in a small environment with little to do besides work and finding hobbies to pass the time would we go insane or ride it out and find comfort in the quiet.
The movie is very well shot and gives us a atmospheric environment quiet and peaceful where the only sounds made are by one man in a claustrophobic environment not able to leave or touch another person.
Sam Rockwell is amazing in this movie and really shows his full range as an actor who transforms his character throughout the movie making you feel his emotions and the weight to his characters worn out body.
I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys well written stories that take there time building on a story and character development that make you think as your watching right until the end your mind will be kept engaged and entertained.
