MOON is one of those rare gems of a movie that do not come along very often. Unexpected would be the word that describes the feeling I had when I first saw it. I did not expect such an excellent movie. Many films that have far larger budgets miss the mark, but MOON nails it dead on. The performances by Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey are nothing short of tremendous. The obvious nod to 2001: A SPACE ODDESSY'S HAL 9000 are very clear in the voice of the computer GERTY 3000. However, the emotional difference that GERTY gives brings originality to the film. Spacey is perfect for this role. The plot moves slowly, but is never boring. Intriguing is the best way to describe this film. It is cerebral science fiction at its best, but it does not take a genius to understand the plot or the complexity of the characters. The viewer feels for Sam and amazingly for GERTY as well. Hands down this movie is a masterpiece of writing and ingenuity. It is a MUST see for any sci-fi fan, and even folks that hate sci-fi will find it enduring and gripping. Do not miss MOON! Some cursing.
