an Oscar worthy sci-fi drama.

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2009)

In the not to distant future, Astronaut Sam Bell(Sam Rockwell) works for Lunar Industries, he has to live on a space station on the moon for 3 years, mining it's resources and sending it back to earth. His only company is a talking computer named Gerty(well voiced by Kevin Spacey). When his third year is almost up, Sam is eager to get back to his wife and daughter. One day while working Sam has an accident, and almost dies, but somehow is saved. But things begin to take a turn for the weird, when Sam sees the person that saved him,that person looks amazingly like him, and he asks him who he is, he says he's him 3 years earlier. So is Sam in some sort alternate time line, or has been cloned, or is he just going crazy?
A well made film. Some might compare it 2001(1968), and it does not beat around the bush, that it was inspired off it, but when you see it, you'll come to find it's pretty much it's own movie. Sam Rockwell gave quite a performance, you really got in the moment with him every time, he really gave it his all, I hope he won't be missed by the Oscars. And Kevin Spacey has the voice of Gerty was also great, the best computer character next Hal 9000 and K.I.T.. Duncan Jones is such a brilliant director, he is such a visionary. All in all, Moon is a great film, the best film of 2009 so far.
