Moon<\/a><\/strong> is a futuristic sci-fi thriller about an astronaut stationed on a lunar mining station with only a robot for company until strange things start to happen.<\/p>\n

It isn’t often that you get an intelligent low-budget sci-fi film, but this first-time effort by director Duncan Jones<\/a> is highly impressive.<\/p>\n

Set in the near future, Sam Rockwell<\/a> stars as an astronaut who works on the moon harvesting helium-3<\/a> for a company who have helped reverse the planet’s energy crisis.<\/p>\n

To say too much more about the plot would give away too much as it takes off in interesting and unexpected directions.<\/p>\n

The script by Jones and Nathan Parker taps into the vein of more cerebral sci-fi classics like Solaris<\/a> (both versions), 2001<\/a> and Silent Running<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given the budgetary limitations, it looks terrific with clever use of sets and special effects, but\u00a0the biggest highlight of all is Rockwell who gives a remarkable performance in what is largely a one man show.<\/p>\n

Kevin Spacey<\/a> also provides nice support as the voice of the base computer GERTY.<\/p>\n
