Moon, directed by Duncan Jones stars Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell and the voice of Kevin Spacey as the mining base's computer GERTY. This movie is by far one of the best science fiction films ever made since Stanley Kubrik's 1968 debut of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001, a Space Odyssey.

Not since the mind twist in The Usual Suspects has a film of any genre had such an impact on the moviegoers psyche. Moon is a true masterpiece that will soon become a classic.

In the film, Sam Bell is nearing the end of a lonely, 3 year contract as little more than a babysitter for a massive H3 mining operation on the moon.

The base's computer, GERTY, is his only companion since direct communication with Earth is out of service due to a long standing communications malfunction. Repairing it is "a low priority for the mining corporation" he is told by GERTY who's small emoticon driven screen/face displays a sad smiley as he explains why Earth communication hasn't been restored yet.


As Sam Bell continues with the drudgery that will soon be over in a matter of weeks, he begins to see things and notice things he didn't before. Distracted on a harvesting run to collect a full cannister of H3, Sam crashes his tractor into a large harvester and wakes up in the infirmary where he is greeted by GERTY and told a "rescue mission" is on it's way to clean up the mess.

From there the movie takes a twist that will have you questioning your very knowledge that you in fact, exist. Imagine your worst day at work ever, and then multiply it by infinity.

To say anything else would be a spoiler, and you must see this one for yourself.

Its a "mind-$%&#" of the Nth degree.
