Moon is the exciting debut from the son of David Bowie, Duncan Jones. Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is coming to the end of a three-year stint at a single-man mining outpost on the moon. With only the station computer GERTY (Kevin Spacey) for company, Sam finds himself eagerly anticipating his return to Earth to re-unite with his loved ones, when something very unexpected happens. Moon is not without it's problems; the one-man aspect means that it becomes dull to watch in places, but on the whole, Rockwell is captivating, and the direction from Bell is superb, as is the basic premise. Fully deserved of a BAFTA, Moon is surely a sign of a bright future for Duncan Jones.
RATING: 7/10 - One of the best sci-fi films of recent years, made with a shoestring budget
