Gerty, we're not programmed. We're people, do you understand?
Directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell, Moon finds Rockwell as Sam Bell who is coming to the end of his three year contract on a lunar station working for Lunar Industries. His only companion is an intelligent computer named GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey). When Sam has an accident he awakens to find he is now not alone and all he thought and believed in is just not as it seems.
Forget any fears about a low budget and any plot similarity to 2001: A Space Odyssey, for this is a cracker jack of a science fiction pictu...

Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend.
Sam Rockwell no only carries the movie, but he's literally the only person in the movie that isn't on a screen.

The setting of Luna is amazing, granted it's mostly in the small station, but it makes me jealous that we haven't established moon colonies. Space madness might be a real thing, but it ...

His job is to harvest the clean energy giving "Helium-3" and send it back to Earth and it's an accident on one of the harvesters that sees him wake up in the infirmary. "GERTY" assures him that everything is OK, but when he gets back on his feet, he becomes uneasy about ...

At the very start of the movie you might think to yourself: "Why did they send an idiot with schizophrenic tendencies to the moon?". By the end of the movie you'll see exactly why this person was chosen.
If you can tolerate the numerous inaccuracies and mistakes the producer makes with regard to the conditions on the moon and in space, then this movie is very entertaining and I recommend watching it....
