MoonMoon is a refreshing Sci-fi movie that stays away from giant space battles and follows a more "2001" route. An intellectual space story, Moon emulates Kubrick's masterpiece in more ways than one. With a similar look and a robot supercomputer of its own, Moon may look and feel like 2001 but its story is smart and original enough to stand on its own.
Sam Rockwell is great as always, playing multiple characters in this movie and Kevin Spacey's voice is perfect as the ominous "Gerty" computer.
The story goes into some pretty heavy existential questions like: "What makes a person human?" and questions corporate society and technology.
Considering the writer and director of this movie is Duncan Jones, son of David Bowie its not surprising to see that he made this Space Oddity of a movie. Although Major Tom never shows up, Moon still shows us that side of space that only a Bowie can.
