Moon, a science fiction/thriller movie, I loved it I’m going to try not to spoil anything for you. It’s set in the future where there’s some sort of energy crisis on earth, doesn’t tell you much about it but what the audience get told is that the moon is the earth’s main source of clean energy. How do they get the energy you ask? Well there’s an astronaut that gets sent to the moon every 3 years to run the machines and send the energy to earth. The astronaut in question is Sam Bell- acted by Sam Rockwell; along with Sam to help him and to make him feel NOT alone he has a friendly robot called GERTY voiced by Kevin Spacey.
I’m sorry but i can’t tell you much more about the movie and not spoil it for you, But Sam Rockwell gives an outstanding performance as the astronaut, he really makes you feel submerged in the story and sympathetic towards Sam Bell as his personality and way of thinking change as well as his emotions to realising what’s really going on, on the lunar surface. There is a very good twist in the movie (as you may have picked up from the trailer) with a twist like this, your either going to go with it or not.
This movie has got one or two little problems but what movie hasn’t, and to be honest I only thoat of them after the movie not whilst I was watching it, i think this movie is original (it’s not what I have ever seen before) but if your into science fiction with a bit of thriller thrown in there this would be a perfect movie for you. Even if you’re not a sci-fi fan you should go and see this I would call this the best movie of the year, for me (I know some of you are going to hate this) it’s better than star trek.
In spill ratings I give Moon a very high full price
Thank you for reading.tell me how i did for my first review.

Wow, I never heard about 'Moon' before. I have to check it out though, it looks really interesting. I'm personally not the biggest sci-fi fan, but I've been proven otherwise (alot) before, and well, it looks like it has alot of variety in it aswell. And then Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey is another splendid reason to go watch it ;)
And it was a good review by the way, a very good review. I enjoyed reading it.
Hope to see more coming.
Cheers.
Damn fine movie. I haven't seen him in anything bad yet, Rockwell I mean. When I saw Kevin Spacey was in it, I was like, "Ughhhhhh."
But thankfully just his voice.
I will own this when it comes out on dvd.
This is not an easy movie to review. I think it is targeted to a very specific audience. I'll begin with the ratings and you'll see what I mean:
5/5 for physicists and mathematicians
4/5 for bioinformaticsts, computational biologists, computational…
This is a meet up group for New York Spillers, It’s less about partying but more about socializing with Spill members and anybody else that’s interested in attending.
I'm going to be in North Hills later today and was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to eat in the area or anything else to do there. I'm meeting my aunt for lunch, but then I figured I would drive around a little bit before I come back home…
