Moon is a 2009 sci-fi film written and directed by Duncan Jones, son of David Bowie. It stars Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey.

It's hard to describe the film without giving too much away, but essentially it's about a man named Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell). Sam lives on an excavation site on the moon, where he's been working for the last three years to develop new ways to conserve energy for the population on Earth. Living in isolation so long has finally taken its toll on Sam, who begins to have a mental breakdown. Kevin Spacey plays his robotic assistant, GERTY.

This film is nothing short of a masterpiece. For such a low-budget feature, it looks truly amazing. This came out around the same time as Avatar, and sadly this flew under the radar, but needless to say the quality of the film far surpasses that of Avatar, the latter of which gained far more popularity and time in the spotlight.

Sam Rockwell has been one of my favourite actors for years, and his performance in this is absolutely stellar. The fact that he wasn't nominated for an Oscar is a shame, because it's one of the finest performances I've ever seen on film (that's saying a lot!). He carries the entire film on his shoulders and does so magnificently. Very few people can capture your attention for a whole film like he does.

I whole-heartedly recommend Moon to any film lover. It's a must-see piece of cinema. The film is rated R and has a running time of 97 minutes.
