Looks like my kind of sci-fi (complete with it's own HAL aka Kevin Spacey)

I'm going to sugest not to watch the trailer. it gives WAY too much away taking away a lot of the mystery from the movie.

Caught this film at the San Francisco International Film Festival. It is a beautiful, extremely well done film. Sam Rockwell is outstanding, and does a stellar job at carrying the entire film. The use of models is greatly appreciated, and achieves such great effect. Pays homage to the great space films, but avoids blatant plagiarism. Really a wonder to watch.
As a side note, Duncan Jones is a very down to earth guy. Easy to talk to, and hung around the theater well after the film, and Q&A were over. Can't wait for his next film!
Moon should be released early June '09.

Opening Friday .... just checked on Rotten Tomatoes - with 24 reviews in, it sits with a 96% !!!!
(The only negative is from the increasingly useless Village Voice.)

This is playing at just two theaters here in Toronto, so I'm hoping it opens a bit wider at some point. It could have legs, though maybe not against all these summer spectaculars. I can understand reviewers drawing thematic/visual comparisons to SILENT RUNNING (big time!), 2001, ALIEN, maybe even BLADE RUNNER--there's a definite Syd Mead vibe--but equally as much as any of those, this movie plays like a big, wet smooch to Peter Hyam's 1981 sci-fi epic OUTLAND (a personal favourite), from the costumes and sets and monitor displays, right down to the digital clock counting down the arrival of the "rescue" team during a very suspenseful climax. This is premium grade, thought-provoking hard-science goodness wrapped up in a blanket of retro-coolness for lovers of its antecedents. Never an intellectual dull moment, with countless clever little touches to provoke interesting discussion afterward. As well, it seems like some thought was put into naming the characters, robots, even the moon base (Sarang - too cool).
