ANGELIKA’S NOTE

In his directorial debut, Duncan Jones (SOURCE CODE, MUTE) brings us MOON. Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell (THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS) stars as Sam Bell, an astronaut nearing his return to Earth alongside his assistant, a computer system called GERTY, whose trip begins to take more of a toll on his mental state than he thought, revealing the frightening truths behind the mission. USA Today calls the film: "An intelligent, evocative and deceptively low-key sci-fi adventure."

SYNOPSIS

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is nearing the completion of his 3-year-long contract with Lunar Industries, mining Earth’s primary source of energy on the dark side of the moon. Alone with only the base’s vigilant computer Gerty (voiced by Oscar-Winner Kevin Spacey, 1999 Best Actor, American Beauty) as his sole companion, Bell’s extended isolation has taken its toll. His only link to the outside world comes from satellite messages from his wife and young daughter. He longs to return home, but a terrible accident on the lunar surface leads to a disturbing discovery that contributes to his growing sense of paranoia and dislocation so many miles away from home. Moon is an engrossing, intelligent sci-fi thriller that ranks with genre classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey.
