Moon


Id read good things about this film and was not disappointed. Sam Rockwell plays Sam Bell, a lone astronaut on a lunar base where harvesters collect fuel to help cure Earths power supply shortages. The only company he has is a Kevin Spacey voiced robot called Gerty and the few messages he exchanges with Earth. He is coming to the end of his 3 year contract when things start happening.

There are some clear similarities with 2001 and Silent Running, two of the greatest sci-fi flicks and this one can easily remain in the same company as them. Rockwell is great and the sparse lunar landscape is beautifully shot. Quality science fiction without alien invasions or warp drives or space adventures, you really should see this.
