Title: Moon Film 2009
Post by: Hal2001 on April 24, 2012, 07:00:23 AM
Has anyone ever watched this movie?   I had never heard of it.  Happened to catch it on HBO when channel surfing.  Good film.  The story is told from a one person perspective and the plot is revealed over the course of the film.  Sam Rockwell stars.  Kevin Spacey provides the voicing for the computer system.  This is a British produced film.  I think you'll find this refreshinly differant from much of the action packed films being done now.  The film reminded me of Silent Running with Bruce Dern.

Hal, yep, I thought it was a great movie as well. In fact, I think it was last year sometime on one of Rico's video podcasts I did a review on that movie. The plot/twist was fantastic!

I saw it awhile back and enjoyed it quite a bit.  Cool movie and definitely worth watching for us geeks - and others too.

This movie was great, one of the most fascinating overlooked sci fi films in recent years.  I love Sam Rockwell in everything and he's particularly good in this.

Closest thing we've had to a proper 50's style old time sci-fi story for a long long time.

I love that they used models instead of the 'go to' CGI. Some of the models were actually made for the Red Dwarf movie that never happened :)

I always take it back to Dwarf. Ignore me....

It was a great film.  Unexpected.  I knew little about it and am glad that I had not come across any spoilers.
