Moon Rocks!

I'm back!

Saw Moon last Tuesday. Very cool. Sam Rockwell's portrayal of a "regular Joe" type space worker was amazing. He manages
to evoke sympathy for this regular guy who's finding out that he's not so regular after all. The special effects were excellent. They relied mostly on miniatures rather than CGI which had this old geek flashing back to the days of Gerry Anderson. Nods to other SF movies abound most notably 2001. There were also some vague similarities to blade runner and GATTACA. If you haven't seen GATTACA go out and rent it NOW! It is similar to Moon in that it is a serious SF film, that is to say NO EXPLOSIONS! That's right, no Beyhem of any kind. Just serious, challenging ideas. Who'd a thunk? All in all the film came across like an excellent episode of classic twilight zone.
