Moon (2009) Duncan Jones
Sam Rockwell is a rockstar. He’s only one of the best actors of his generation and doesn’t receive half the recognition he deserves. The film that truly drives that point home is Moon. The story is about a lone man about to complete his three year mission on the moon where he’s been working, sending parcels of a resource back to Earth that has helped decrease the planet’s power problems. Things of course go awry when he seemingly finds a clone version of himself while his health begins to deteriorate. With the help of his computer, GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey), he must try and find a way home. It’s eerie, tremendously acted and plays the idea of isolation in space with grace.
