Moon
Astronaut Sam Bell's (Sam Rockwell) three-year shift at a lunar mine is finally coming to an end, and he's looking forward to his reunion with his wife (Dominique McElligott) and young daughter. Suddenly, Sam's health takes a drastic turn for the worse. He suffers painful headaches and hallucinations, and almost has a fatal accident. He meets what appears to be a younger version of himself, possibly a clone. With time running out, Sam must solve the mystery before the company crew arrives.

Product description
Duncan Jones, who won the 2010 BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer, writes and directs this critically-acclaimed space isolation drama starring Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell, a worker for Lunar Industries who is nearing the end of a three-year contract to mine the moon's surface for the precious gas Helium 3, the solution to Earth's energy crisis. As he approaches his return to Earth, Sam reflects on the lessons he has learned during his prolonged isolation and looks forward to his reunion with his wife and young daughter. But a fortnight before his departure he starts seeing and hearing strange things that lead him to suspect that his employers intend to replace him in a far more sinister way than he imagined. Kevin Spacey provides the voice for Sam's only companion, a small robot called Gerty.

What is a human life worth? For one, insurance policies seem to be able to put a value on such things; have a look at this intriguing title. In this sci-fi production, corporate production coefficients do just that, put a value on a human life by adding up all the production costs and derive the most economical form to satisfy shareholder requirements.
Take the chance with Moon and put this along side your other science fiction classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, Prometheus and the others.
My thanks once more to Sam Rockwell for another superb performance along with Amazon for each and every safely delivered item.

The plot of the film is pretty basic and is easily one of its charms. The people of Earth have found a new energy source on the moon, to harvest this energy the moon is manned by one person, Sam Rockwell. Now at the end of his tour, he ends up in an unfortunate accident that causes an interesting twist. One that plays out for the rest of the film.
It really isn't hard to follow at all and to some people it might be predictable. But the way it all unfolds is where the excellence lies. The pacing is absolutely perfect with one event happening and the movie quickly moving onto the next without feeling rushed or sitting on one specific section long enough that it becomes repetitious.
The acting by Sam Rockwell is top quality. The man is a really underrated actor in my opinion with Moon being one of his most under appreciated roles. *SPOILER ALERT!!!* The contrast between the two characters he plays is done with a lot of care. The fact that the film is simply two clones interacting with each other is interesting, especially considering how well it was done. Rockwell manages to give both individuals a similar personality with strikingly different character traits. The older of the two is more down to earth, laid back and perhaps humbled by his three years alone on the moon. The younger character however is angrier, quicker to lose his temper and is eager to rush into dangerous situations. The chemistry of the two provides the movie with great intensity, light humour and some really good heartfelt moments.
Visually, this is a beautiful film. There isn't too much in the way of big grand scenes. A majority of the film takes place in this dark dingy compound whilst most of the big effects scenes take place on the lunar surface. Lots of grey sand and rocks with a big starry background as a miniature model of the vehicles traverses the environment. It is very bleak but looks fantastic, especially on bluray.
There isn't a lot to dislike about this film in my opinion. I found it very charming, very unique for its time and has everything I like in a good sci-fi movie of its kind. Those who liked The Martian should without a doubt enjoy this film as much or even more so. For the cheap price, it is hard to complain.

I bought this on a whim, as a gamble, and I feel that it paid off handsomely in a movie that can be watched more than just the once, and in its sparse setting still manages to pull out new facets of the story each time through. I like it for the journey - rather as I like 2001 and 2010 - it's a real trip.

It's not a film I'd watch regularily like some opf my favorites, but it is well worth rewatching occasionally. i'm lucky in that I have memory problems due to a serious head injury, so I often forget parts of most films after a few months. For example I was watching a film the other day and it wasn't intil the very end that I realised I'd watched it only a few weeks previously when I'd first purchased it (The second John Wick film).
Definitely a worthwhile film to add to your collection. IMO its a classic in the same vein as the Escape from NY/LA/2012/Conan the Barbarian/Red Sonja/The Terminator/Hanna, though not as action oriented that those films.


Directed by Duncan Jones, son of the late, great David Bowie. Somewhere in the film, from a story also written by Jones, are some reminders of Bowie's great songs about space perhaps. Hello Ground Control.
I need to watch the film again and get out my Bowie songbook.
