Moon (2009)

Moon, directed by Duncan Jones, is a film which follows Sam (Sam Rockwell) on his personal encounter while at the end of his three year journey. His goal is to send packages to earth to help with their power plant problems. It is a classic Sci-Fi film with a baffling mystery that challenges the viewer to live in the shoes of the protagonist. This Drama Sci-Fi doesn't receive the credit it deserves compared to those Hollywood blockbusters such as Interstellar and Gravity.

Sam's isolated three year posting is about to come to an end and he longs to return to Earth to see his wife. His only company throughout this sojourn has been that of Gerty, the base's HAL-like robot voiced by Kevin Spacey. Unfortunately, the final weeks and days are proving to be the most difficult, and Sam finds himself going a bit squirrelly, leaving both he and the audience to wonder if what's unfolding is actually happening, or merely a drama taking place in his addled mind.


I highly recommend all Sci-Fi lovers to watch this film, you will not regret it. Although the CGI and effects aren't as flashy as some would like, the film takes away those elements and focuses on the plot, in specific the eerie scenes which leaves the audience with a lot to comprehend.

Rating: 8/10
