We kept making jokes into it that Space Oddity was going to start playing during it, or something stupid like that (Duncan Jones = David Bowie's son). ANYWAY - Moon is good. It's about a joe-schmoe in Space who maintains a facility for The Company, harvesting some whatsit from the Moon, when all of the sudden something goes wrong. The rest of the movie is Sam Rockwell talking to . . . himself (in so many ways) . . ., and HAL9000 wannabe GERTY, played by Kevin Spacey. The above makes it sound bad, but it's actually pretty good. They did a good job at building tension, and having fun dialogue. I don't know, I don't want to say its predictable, because I think they play up on some of the stuff you think and deliberately switch it around. Some stuff they play at is exactly what you think it is though, too.FYI, GERTY is not HAL9000. I think I'm really spoiling it if I go into much more, unfortunately. I liked it, and the people I went with enjoyed it too.</blockquote>
