At the very start of the movie you might think to yourself: "Why did they send an idiot with schizophrenic tendencies to the moon?". By the end of the movie you'll see exactly why this person was chosen. If you can tolerate the numerous inaccuracies and mistakes the producer makes with regard to the conditions on the moon and in space, then this movie is very entertaining and I recommend watching it.

Sam Rockwell is really good here as the sole occupant of a lunar base. Coming to the end of his three year stint, "Sam" is beginning to suffer from the effects of his loneliness. With only his automated pal "GERTY" (Kevin Spacey) for company, he longs to get home to his wife and daughter and to some semblance of a normal life. His job is to harvest the clean energy giving "Helium-3" and send it back to Earth and it's an accident on one of the harvesters that sees him wake up in the infirmary. "GERTY" assures him that everything is OK, but when he gets back on his feet, he becomes uneasy about the truth. How did he get back? What did happen? Despite the protestations of his carer, he returns to the silo and makes quite a startling discovery. Is he losing the plot? This interaction causes him to question everything about himself, about his mission and about, most importantly, his future. Does he have one? Does he even have a past? Rockwell really does capture strongly the sense of encroaching, almost claustrophobic, isolation married with an increasing sense of confusion and exasperation. He starts to feel fear - but what of? It's the increasing lack of the tangible - mental or physical that gives this story a potency and the supposed caring voice that emanates from the walls ostensibly looking out for him, becomes more menacing as the story rattles along. Well worth a watch if you like your sci-fi a bit more cerebral.

A quiet, psychological sci-fi thriller with a grim atmosphere, ‘Moon’ is carried by a greatly nuanced performance by Rockwell. 8/10

Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend. Sam Rockwell no only carries the movie, but he's literally the only person in the movie that isn't on a screen. He plays off himself amazingly well and really balances the struggles of both the individual and the clone to clone interaction. The struggle feels like how someone would react to the situation, and Rockwell adds his own special flair to it. The setting of Luna is amazing, granted it's mostly in the small station, but it makes me jealous that we haven't established moon colonies. Space madness might be a real thing, but it is because someone is alone and not part of a group. I want more movies like this for every reason: more Sam Rockwell, more Luna settings, more clone movies, more isolation theory, more, "OMG, MY ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE, WHAT IS HAPPENING!".

Gerty, we're not programmed. We're people, do you understand? Directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell, Moon finds Rockwell as Sam Bell who is coming to the end of his three year contract on a lunar station working for Lunar Industries. His only companion is an intelligent computer named GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey). When Sam has an accident he awakens to find he is now not alone and all he thought and believed in is just not as it seems. Forget any fears about a low budget and any plot similarity to 2001: A Space Odyssey, for this is a cracker jack of a science fiction picture. Film quickly fills us in on Sam Bell the man and his function up there on the lunar station. His relationship with GERTY the computer grabs our interest whilst the production design has a sort of medicinal sheen to it. Once Sam's solitude is established, the minimal contact with Earth explained, the pic then spins into another dimension, dragging both Sam and us viewers into the vortex. To say more would be churlish, but this is adult science fiction, clever in existential whiles and scathing with observations on corporate shenanigans. Narratively it's evocative in its telling, even haunting and philosophical, where a brilliant Rockwell nails every inch of Bell's search for being, and crucially, the truth. It's all building towards a finale of some devilish substance, no cop outs or easy fed answers, just a pertinent question asked of the viewers. Moon comes highly recommended to sci-fi fans who are after a bit more than mere sparkly fluff and robotic chaos. 9/10
