Moon

With the discovery of water in the moon, and humans constantly conquering new things, it didn't surprise me that they would make a movie just about some guy on the moon. Directed by Duncan Jones (no idea who he is), this was an overall interesting watch.

Actor Sam Rockwell plays Sam Bell, the main character. Pretty clever if you ask me, just ask a Sam to play a Sam... or in this movie's case, a couple, or wait... a dozen Sams. Yes, that's right. Sam Bell is an astronaut who was sent to mine the moon on a 3-year contract. His job is to find energy sources and ship them back to Earth. This may sound like a pretty boring movie, but here's the thing: being a sci-fi, this movie has a few twists and turns.

When time draws near for Sam to return to Earth, he starts to go crazy, because he's been on the Moon for three years by himself. The only friend he had to talk to was a robot named Gerdy (voiced by Kevin Spacey). Sam goes out to work one day and he crashes. The next thing you know, Sam's in a recovery room with the robot talking to him. Well, the next time Sam went out to work, he discovered a crashed car with a SAM in it. What?

Yes, so a Sam discovered another Sam. This is when the movie got interesting. Why are there two Sams? Who cloned them? And why? Who's the real Sam?! The movie had me fooled for a while that one of the two Sams was the real one. Well was he? Or were they just clones? Oooh. I know, very interesting.

I'm not going to give away the answers to the Sam questions, because I want someone else to see this movie and be amazed by it. Well, not quite amazed, but to like it at least. I hate space, because it scares me, but I dealt with this movie.

I'd say this was about an 8/10 movie. The actor was really good, because he played all the two Sams very well. The voice of Gerdy was good too. The plot was twisty and kept me guessing what's going to happen. So if you're into creepy space movies, give this one a go :)
