## Description

Science fiction can encompass many genres--suspense, horror, action-adventure, romance, even comedy--but director Duncan Jones's Moon doesn't fit neatly into any of them. This smart, provocative film has no aliens or cool spaceships, and the effects (mostly consisting of model vehicles lumbering across the lunar surface) aren't all that special; instead, the material is character- and story-driven, centering on an excellent, multilayered performance by Sam Rockwell. The scene is some undetermined point in the future. Rockwell plays Sam Bell, an employee of Lunar Industries, the company responsible for mining a fusion energy source called Helium-3, which is vital to Earth's efforts to reverse a serious energy crisis and can only be found on the far side of the Moon. Sam is all by himself, and as he nears the end of his three-year contract, the solitude is starting to get to him ("Three years is a long haul," he says. "Way, way, way too long. I'm talking to myself on a regular basis"); his only contact with his wife and daughter back home comes through the occasional video messages he exchanges with them, while his sole interaction on the Moon is with GERTY 3000, a computer voiced by Kevin Spacey (and an obvious parallel to 2001: A Space Odyssey's HAL 9000). Things start to go seriously sideways when Sam crashes his vehicle while out inspecting one of the giant Helium-3 harvesters. He comes to in the base infirmary, seemingly none the worse for the wear; but an unnerving surprise awaits him when he goes back to check out the accident site, and the resulting complications occupy the rest of the movie. Fans of 2001, Solaris, and other cerebral sci-fi will enjoy figuring out what's going on; others will find it slow-moving and tedious. Either way, Moon, which was made quickly and on a relatively low budget, is well worth a look. --Sam Graham

Review: Thoughtful, excellent movie - The best movie you may have never heard of, I hadn't either but was looking for something to watch and am so glad I did. Maybe Sam Rockwell's finest acting. Moon doesn't have the tension or suspense of Alien or Star Wars but is an evenly paced movie that is both thoughtful and poignant and without giving anything away actually takes place on the moon. It's definitely not an action rollercoaster ride but a well crafted movie that makes you think.
Review: Wonderful movie - Moon is a peculiar film that I’m frankly surprised anyone got greenlit. It’s basically a one character, one set drama. It is a character-driven piece that is quiet, brooding and thoughtful. It reminds me a bit of “Gattaca”. Like Gattaca, the science fiction elements are used simply to create the logic framework for the character and emotional dynamics. While these dynamics couldn’t really be developed without the scifi logic behind it, the emotions and pathos are universal and existential. I don’t wish to spoil the film, so I have to keep the plot summary simple: a lonely man is in the last two-weeks of his 3 year solo tenure monitoring an automated mining operation on the moon. His only companion is a HAL-esque robot of vaguely sinister aspect. Due to communication failures, he has been cut off from any real-time communication for most of his tenure, and he is on the edge of sanity. Then a terrible accident occurs. This film stars Sam Rockwell, a fine actor, with an affect thirty-three degrees off the mainline. Whenever I see him in a film, I have to go through a quick mental adjustment to accept his affect, before I settle in to enjoying his wonderful naturalistic, yet skewed style. In this film, he plays across the gamut of human emotions in a brilliant symphony of shifts – some discordant, but all fitting within the overall orchestration. I simultaneously felt pity, anger, disdain and disgust with his character. After the middle of the film, Moon doesn’t try to hide its secret, but at that point it doesn’t matter. By the mid-point of the film, I cared more about how Sam’s character navigated and triumphed against the threats than the machinations behind them (which are a little trite, falling back on the much told ‘evil corporation’ meme). The film is a wonderfully satisfying emotional experience, which had me in tears at the end. It is both sad and limned in warmth, like chocolate with chili peppers. I loved it (warning…it is a bit slow to start).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sam Rockwell Soars Over the MOON (a Movie Review)
*by H***R on January 14, 2010*

Sam Bell (Sam Roackwell) works on the moon for a company called Lunar Industries. In the distant future, the Earth's natural resources are all used up. Lunar Industries has decided to farm the dark side of the moon for He3 which is then sent back to Earth to use to run the planet. Sam Bell's job is to make sure all the equipment is running well. At the beginning of the movie we join Sam, who has 2 weeks left on a 3 year stint. The only source of comradery that Sam has, is his robot GERTY (voiced perfectly by Kevin Spacey), who seems to be a distant relative of HAL from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. The only way Sam can communicate with his family, wife Tess (Dominique McElligott) is through video postcards. during one of Sam's ride in his moon rover, he gets in to an accident. After blacking out we are taken to a few days later when Sam wakes up in sick bay. Sam doesn't remember what happened or why he is in sick bay. GERTY tells Sam that his boses have said for him to rest and they are sending a rescue ship to fix rover and collection vehicle that Sam crashed into. After a few days, Sam is able to talk GERTY into letting him outside, and he visits the crash site. Upon looking in the rover, he finds a body there. Sam brings the body back to homebase, and the person he finds is, Sam Bell. The viewer doesn't know if one of the other is a clone, or a figment of Sam's imagination, or a dream. Duncan Jones (who also directed and is the son of rock legend David Bowie) and Nathan Parker co-wrote an amazing piece of cinema that makes the viewer think. You're not sure if everything you've seen is real, and that's the way it should be. You can see that Jones and Parker have been influenced hevily by 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, from GERTY, to having classical music playing when Sam goes out to walk or drive around on the moon, to the lonely worker. Sam Rockwell does an amazing job of acting only against Kevin Spacey's voice and himself. This is essentially an actors movie. If you are looking to see how to be a great actor, Rockwell's preformance is one to be seen. It's a real shame that this movie was released in the summer, during the time of the blockbuster, because this is certainly a movie that should be seen by everyone. 4 1/2 out of 5
