Moon is a little-seen but terrific new entry into the world of science fiction film. Directed by Duncan Jones, Moon stars the under-appreciated Sam Rockwell as astronaut Sam Bell, who exists in a form of solitary confinement as a mining engineer on a desolate moon base. Director Jones, working on a very modest budget, creates a singularly strange and lonely existence for Bell as he works toward the end of his three year lunar hitch. Bell’s depressingly routine existence is suddenly interrupted by a lunar rover crash and some very strange and mind-bending events begin to unfold. Bell meets a mysterious doppleganger of himself and the secrets of the disturbing nature of his employment begin to unfold. Rockwell is terrific as he portrays several different but familiar characters and Kevin Spacey makes a delightful vocal appearance as the voice of Bell’s trusty man/robot-servant, GERTY.  Modest in the best sense of the word, Moon is a surprisingly moving experience. The various incarnations of Bell’s character are achingly human and at the end of the day triumphant. Highly recommended! Rated R.
