DEFINITELY WATCH AT THE MOVIES
Moon
If you have read my review for Moon, then you know that this is an absolute must-see for me.
Moon Synopsis: Moon follows Sam Bell, an astronaut assigned by Lunar Industries to a three-year mission mining Helium 3 on the moon, the earth's new energy source. As his contract comes to an end and Sam's health starts to deteriorate, painful headaches, hallucinations and a lack of focus lead to an almost fatal accident. While recuperating, Sam meets a younger, angrier version of himself, who claims to be there to fulfill the same three-year contract Sam started all those years ago.
MOON Movie Review

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a screening for the movie MOON starring Sam Rockwell and directed by Duncan Jones.
Moon follows Sam Bell, an astronaut living on the far side of the moon, who is completing a three-year contract with Lunar Industries. His job is to gather Earth's new primary source of energy, Helium-3, and send it back to Earth.
When the movie opens, Sam only has a few weeks left until he is ready to go home to his wife, Tess, and daughter, Eve. However, during one of his drive on the moon to go get the Helium-3, Sam gets into a serious accident. When he wakes up, Sam is confronted to what seems to be another younger version of himself, who claims to be there to fulfill the same three-year contract. From there Sam begins a quest to finding out what the truth is about who the "other" Sam is and how he himself fits into all of Lunar Industries' plans.
Moon is one of those movies that you end up thinking about for days after seeing it. It has so many dimensions as far as the story goes, starting with morality issues to an outlook of a potential future. I found it very fascinating. I think the beauty is that the director does not overwhelm you with the story and what you should take from it, he simply tells you what happens and lets you decide what you think about it.
It is also very rare to find a story that is so perfectly well-rounded from beginning to end. It really feels like a lot of thought and passion went into it to get it just right. Nothing feels rushed and every single moment is played out perfectly.
MOON Movie Poster with Sam Rockwell
Check out the poster for the movie MOON starring Sam Rockwell and directed by Duncan Jones.
Yesterday, I put up the fantastic trailer for Moon, and now thanks to AICN, we get our first look at the surreal poster for the movie.
Just looking at it kind of gives you the feeling you should get while watching the movie. At least that's what it feels like after watching the trailer.
Moon comes out theaters on June 12, 2009.
MOON Movie Trailer & Pictures with Sam Rockwell
Check out the trailer and some pictures from MOON starring Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey, Dominique McElligott, and directed by Duncan Jones.
Wow, I mean wow, that's a pretty intense trailer. I honestly wasn't that interested in the movie, but after watching the trailer, I can't wait to see it. Sam Rockwell looks better than ever and I think we can expect a really great performance from him.
Moon will be released to limited theaters on June 12, 2009. Watch the trailer and check out more pictures below.
