Moon

MOON (2009) - June 25, 2009
A really well made film about a miner on the moon, who is working by himself and reaching the end of his three year contract, who starts to realize that something sinister is afoot. This is the type of smart, interesting sci-fi film that is, lamentably, so rarely seen on the big screen. This has definitely been influenced by previous great sci-fi like 2001, but the film never feels derivative or like a rehash. Duncan Jones' direction is quite good, and Sam Rockwell gives an astounding performance that would easily get an Oscar nod if there were any justice in the world. ***1/2
