Directed by Duncan Jones (Bowie’s son)

Starring Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey’s voice

Synopsis: “With only three weeks left in his three year contract, Sam Bell is getting anxious to finally return to Earth. He is the only occupant of a Moon-based manufacturing facility along with his computer and assistant, GERTY. The long period of time alone however has resulted in him talking to himself for the most part, or to his plants. Direct communication with Earth is not possible due to a long-standing communication malfunction but he does get an occasional message from his wife Tess. When he has an accident however, he wakens to find that he is not alone. He also comes to realize that his world is not what he thought it was.”

Very interesting sci-fi movie. Sam Rockwell is great (which is good since it’s basically just him on screen for most of the movie). It’s a simple, straightforward story that uses mood, tone, and Sam Rockwell to keep things interesting, and the fact that it succeeds at this is no small feat. Also, at an hour and a half, this movie doesn’t waste any time. I definitely recommend this.
