John Chard on Moon

9/10 · Dec 27, 2018

Duncan Jones’s Moon features Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell, nearing the conclusion of his three-year assignment at a lunar station operated by Lunar Industries. GERTY, an intelligent computer voiced by Kevin Spacey, serves as his sole companion. Following an incident, Sam awakens to discover he's not alone and that everything he previously believed is called into question. Concerns about the film’s budget or comparisons to 2001: A Space Odyssey are unnecessary; this is a remarkably well-made science fiction movie. The story quickly introduces us to Sam Bell and his role at the lunar station. His connection with GERTY immediately engages the viewer, while the production design possesses a sterile quality. After Sam’s isolation becomes apparent and Earth contact is explained, the film takes an unexpected turn, pulling both him and the audience into a disquieting situation. Giving away more would be unfair, but this is science fiction geared toward mature audiences—it's intelligent in its exploration of existence and sharply critical of corporate practices. The narrative unfolds in a way that’s memorable, even unsettling and thought-provoking; Rockwell delivers a compelling performance embodying Bell's quest for identity and the truth. It steadily progresses towards an ending of significant impact, avoiding simple solutions or easy explanations, instead posing a relevant question to those watching. Moon is strongly suggested for science fiction enthusiasts seeking something beyond superficial effects and generic robots. 9/10
