Re: Moon

Premise?

Re: Moon
Here's the summary from imdb. May contain possible spoilers:
Quote:
Sam Bell has a three year contract to work for Lunar Industries. For the contract's entire duration, he is the sole employee based at their lunar station. His primary job responsibility is to harvest and periodically rocket back to Earth supplies of helium-3, the current clean and abundant fuel used on Earth. There is no direct communication link available between the lunar station and Earth, so his only direct real-time interaction is with GERTY, the intelligent computer whose function is to attend to his day to day needs. With such little human contact and all of it indirect, he feels that three years is far too long to be so isolated; he knows he is beginning to hallucinate as the end of his three years approaches. All he wants is to return to Earth to be with his wife Tess and their infant daughter Eve, who was born just prior to his leaving for this job. With two weeks to go, he gets into an accident at one of the mechanical harvesters and is rendered unconscious. Injured, he awakens back at the station in the infirmary, he assumes assisted by GERTY. GERTY tells him that a rescue team named Eliza will come to the station to clean up the aftermath of the accident. After his recuperation, he takes an unauthorized trip back to the broken harvester, where he makes an unexpected discovery. Because of his find, he begins to doubt his sanity, then his true identity, then the company and GERTY's willingness to do what is best for him. Because of his resulting beliefs, his sole mission becomes how to get back to Earth on his own.

It looks like a good, low-budget, sci-fi drama.

Re: Moon
Speaking of the moon, July 20th is the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing. And what better way to celebrate than getting brand new photos of the very same landing vessel, straight from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera! Check it out:
Apollos 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17 (where's 13??)
And check out the detail on Apollo 14:
That's the Lunar Module Antares and the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package (ALSEP). Note the astronaut tracks between the two artifacts!
More details here http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/

Re: Moon
Oh yeah!
I remember seeing something for this a long, loooong time ago.
I really wanted to see it back then, so yeah - I'll definitely check this out.

Re: Moon
Yeah I remember reading about it here. I think I wanted to see it? *checks* Ah yes, I agree with past me, I'll probably wait for the DVD release.

Re: Moon
So I just saw Moon. 2 thumbs up from me! Go see it. Sam Rockwell is awesome, he at least deserves a nomination for best actor.
SPOILER (but i really suggest not reading until you see the movie):
-radiation poisoning takes 3 years, the sickness was radiation poisoning
-the movie was a psychological film in that he was hallucinating at the beginning
END SPOILER

Re: Moon
Hm, all of a sudden there are some very interesting movies coming up. This, District 9, Whiteout... they have a lot of potential.
Edit: forgot Alice in Wonderland.
Edit2: Moon related post: did you know that director Duncan Jones is the son of David Bowie?

Re: Moon
I'm definitely not scanning this thread to see if anyone has said it (No, I haven't seen this movie yet, despite really wanting to), but the director is David Bowie's son.

Re: Moon
Haha, it was the last thing said in this thread before you revived it. ![Wink](/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif) And I take credit for that (and for killing the thread? Nah, too much credit).

Re: Moon
Just got back from seeing this. Very good! It was what I expected in terms of old school psychological Sci-Fi in the vein of Twilight Zone and 2001...
Anyway, it was what I expected and not what I expected which is cool.
Interesting take, KG. I would not have thought about the first point.

Re: Moon
I can't find the Turkish release date for this movie. I don't even know if it ever played..
I'm sure it'd be against the law if I downloaded it. A**holes.
