No miss for this ‘Moon’ shot

For his first feature film, Duncan Jones shoots for the moon and actually makes it.
“Moon” has some of the best special effects to ever grace a low-budget film, and it also manages to be one of the most intelligent science-fiction films in a long time.

Sam Rockwell plays Sam Bell, the sole human inhabitant of a lunar mining base. He’s basically the night watchman. His only companion is Gerty, the base’s computer (voiced by Kevin Spacey).

After a mysterious accident, Bell discovers another person on the base – one who happens to look exactly like him. The film intelligently explores the concept of clones while throwing in an evil corporation for added suspense.

The special features include a “Making of” featurette plus two commentaries that do a solid job explaining the production and film references. “Moon” attempts to make you think and largely succeeds.
