I think this film deserves a thread of its own; so here it is.
I've been wanting to see this film ever since it came out, but it never got a cinema release in Hull, and I couldn't even find it online. It finally came out on DVD this Monday and I watched it last night.
Fantastic film. Sci-fi is not usually a genre that interests me but I found this film utterly compelling from beginning to end. Sam Rockwell is superb; I've always been a fan of his work, in films like
Matchstick Men and
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, but this is without a doubt his greatest performance to date.
I thought having Kevin Spacey voice GERTY was a masterstroke. Spacey is so often the creepy bad guy that I expected GERTY to be working against Sam(s); so it was nice swerve to see how much GERTY genuinely cared for Sam. And the smiley faces were excellent.
I remember some interesting posts about
Moon in the New Films thread but it's difficult trying to locate them all; it'd be great if we could discuss it in more depth here - and without the entire discussion in spoiler tags.
I'm still confused on how many clones we actually saw throughout the film? I think my count was at least five or six, but there's possibly more.
And I wasn't sure if we were to assume that Tess was killed by the Lunar company? Or if she just died naturally?
