Moon is a science fiction film with a distinctly retro ambience. It is set in the 2030s but feels like it was made in the 1970s or ´80s.
Sam Rockwell puts in a great performance as Sam Bell. He needs to, because although this is not quite a single hander; he is almost the only character in this film and the next biggest role is GERTY the computer.
The director has kept everything spare and simple to focus on the story. This works well because story is strong enough to support it.
There are plot holes if you think too much about it, but the film is both engaging and thought provoking.
I really enjoyed it.

Any similarity to 2001 and “Hal” the renegade computer? The picture of the Moon is extraordinary.
This one is much more “low tech”….. played by Kevin Spacey!
Lovely wee summary for what is a really good film
Thank you, it was a good film wasn’t it?
