Wahrscheinlich gehöre ich zu den Science Fiction Traditionalisten und halte die 70er für das letzte gute Jahrzehnt dieses Genres. Und natürlich befinde ich mich im Unrecht, so wie alle Traditionalisten. Moon von Duncan Jones beweist das. Das hier ist eine dieser Science Fiction Perlen, die keine Ausstattungsschlacht bieten will, sondern eine Idee! Mit fünf Millionen Budget mutet der Film recht bescheiden an und sein Titel wirkt wie eine Verbeugung vor der Zeit, als der Mond noch ein ein hehres Ziel der amerikanischen Raumfahrt war. Der Weltraum stellt bei Jones eine Metapher dar für die Einsamkeit seines einzigen Protagonisten. Vielleicht ist seine innere Leere so gross wie die äussere? Sam Bell heisst der Astronaut und wird gespielt von Sam Rockwell. Seit drei Jahren arbeitet er …

Moon review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 09/19/2012
Much like Cast Away, Surrogates combined with Solaris and 2001: Space Odyssey. Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) about to go home in a few weeks since his three-year contract is about to end at Lunar Industries' largely automated "Sarang" lunar base. He sees things and discovers the astronaut he saved just looks like him. The special effects is breathtaking while the setting/base impressive. Sam Rockwell) was just great in his role. Screenplay was fresh with some good lines: Sam Bell - "We're not programs Gerty, we're people." and Gerty - "I hope life on Earth is everything you remember it to be."The film however slows down in the middle and became interesting towards the conclusion. The image of the lady from the start was unexplained as well. Nevertheless, Moon is an entertaining …

"Moon" by Yojimbo

A lone astronaut working a mining operation on the moon starts seeing the face of a young woman and begins to question his sanity. Moon flies very much in the face of contemporary sci-fi. It has a very retro look, complimented perfectly by the use of beautifully crafted miniatures rather than the ubiquitous CGI and this retro feel is carried through to every aspect of the film. The sets are very reminiscent of the original Alien, the scenario echoes 70s eco sci-fi Silent Running combined with the themes of Solaris, it has the ominous electronic countdown of Outland and has a similar plot line to some aspects of Capricorn One; but it does so with such reverance and understanding of the genre it is far from a cheap carbon copy. Sam Rockwell puts in a great performance as the man alone …

Marvelous Moon Madness

"Moon" is essentially "Cast Away" in space and a rather impressive film to boot. "Moon" exceeds as a drama, mystery and a sci-fi film. With a 15 million dollar budget, "Moon" shows you get a lot of a little. ( Michael Bay...please take note). This indie sci-fi movie takes cues from classic sci-fi movies of the 80's such as "2001: A Space Oydessy" and "Slient Running", yet is able create something incredibly unique and original. The directing from Duncan Jones is one of the most strongest debuts from a director in a long time. He could honestly be the next great sci-fi director. In my opinion, Sam Rockwell is the most underrated actor working today, with such memorable turns in "Snow Angels", "Choke", "The Green Mile", and "Galaxy Quest". He does a remarkable job in a award cailber …

Solid as The Moon

An interesting movie. It is good and I am really glad more and more movies are coming out like this. In fact, the best movie of 2009 so far. First we had "The Fountain" and then we had the amazing "Sunshine." Though this is not as good as either of these it is still a step up from the crappy space sci fi we usually are served with.
Moon is funny, interesting, and enjoyable. It is amazing what they did with the budget that they had. Sam Rockwell took a chance and I think it pays off well. Though I am not a fan of him, he does show that he is a good actor...and very funny.
The musical score is performed by Clint Mansel (sp) who does a great job (though one of his worst scores) at bringing life to a desolate area. Along with the acting and cinematography, this was one of the …
