Moon (2009)
Director: Duncan Jones
Writers: Duncan Jones & Nathan Parker
Cast: Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey, Dominique McElligott
MPAA Rating: R
Synopsis: Towards the end of his solitary three-year stint on the moon, Astronaut Sam Bell suddenly discovers that he is not alone.
Thoughts: Talented writer/director Duncan Jones' Moon is fueled by one of most intriguing, thought-provoking sci-fi concepts I've seen in a while. Unfortunately, neither he nor co-writer Nathan Parker really know what to do with it, resulting in an extremely disappointing finale that lacks the power and promise of its premise. Sam Rockwell, on the other hand, is extraordinary. His performance alone is worth a look.
Recipe For Success: Sam Rockwell + Kevin Spacey's Version of HAL + Did I mention Sam Rockwell? Oh, and Sam Rockwell
