“The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to” – Carl Sandburg
Posted by Monkeymanx in Movie Review
So, last weekend Moon opened in Austin. Beav and I went to see the first showing on Saturday. Moon is basically a one man show with Sam Rockwell turning in a stellar performance as Sam Bell. Sam Bell is a man on a three year contract to oversee a small moon base that farms helium-3 a clean energy source that is shipped back to earth. The only companion Sam has is GERTY, a computer that takes care of him (voiced by Kevin Spacey.) Sam has two weeks left in his contract then he will get to go home to his wife and young daughter. When Sam goes out to retrieve a full H-3 container he has an accident, and things get interesting after that.
Moon is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. It made me think, and wonder about things after I left. It’s not a summer blow stuff up blockbuster, that is for sure. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just say that you should try to find it showing close to you and go check it out.
