In Space, Only You Can Hear Yourself Scream.

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2014)

Science fiction continues to be my favourite genre, and "Moon" has been one of those movies I've been wanting to watch since the marketing was very unique (The director started out in advertising that I was familiar with). My god it was amazing, and the special effects and overall production had only cost 5 million. It really shows it doesn't matter how much money you put into a movie for critical success, and the praise for this story comes from the amazing "performances" of Sam Rockwell, and the vocal performance from Kevin Spacey.
In the future, we've discovered a new fuel source on the moon's surface via the suns rays. A company builds a mining facility run by Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell), who near the end of his three year contract has an accident in his lunar rover. Suddenly, he awakens back at the plant without any memory or recollection of how he got back. Due to limited contact between him & the people back on Earth, the company sends a message planning to make their way to fix something broken and should arrive within three days. Leaving Sam to figure out what happened.
It's a great looking movie, that has captivated me many viewings. The dialogue scenes between Sam and A.I. "GERTY" (Kevin Spacey) are great, and Duncan Jones's previous commercial work help create impressive effects on a budget. Final things to mention are the wonderful influences to past classics like "Silent Running" (1972), and a fantastic score provided by Clint Mansell.
Final Verdict: It met all of my expectations and beyond. An amazing debut from Duncan Jones. 8.5/10.
