Moon is the first film of Duncan Jones and shows a very, very promising talent. Sam Rockwell plays an astronaut working on the moon, with only a robot named GERTY (Spacey) for company. The loneliness and isolation of his job is coming to an end as he gets to go home in three weeks time. However, after an accident outside the truth starts to unravel.
The film relies completely on Rockwell as he gives one of the best performances of his career. The only character we see properly through the whole film, he pulls on our heartstrings and boggles our mind. Kevin Spacey is also brilliant as Sam's only companion
who surprisingly differs from the usual evil robot cliché.
Moon is a great film that needs to be watched. The plot hasn't really been explained here as its twists are what makes it great. The film is a lonely one, with its lack of music adding to many of the key scenes. It's thought provoking, tragic and most of all gripping.
*****Brilliant
