Moon

Nothing satisfies the moviegoing experience more than a good low budget movie with strong performances by its actors. In Moon we have Sam Bell, played by the always talented Sam Rockwell, playing multiple roles of himself as he is gathering alternative energy sources for Earth's consumption on, you guessed it, the moon. Nearing the end of his 3 year contract, Sam begins to lose his grip on his own personal sanity and begins seeing some pretty weird things which can't possibly be real, or can they? During a routine trip on the moon's surface Sam has a near fatal accident and wakes up to find that these strange occurences are going to become far stranger. He starts asking the question, who is this company I work for and what are they doing to me?

Even though I spotted the main plot twist in the first 15 minuts of the movie I was curious how they would play out. I was especially curious because a vast majority of the movie was reliant only on Rockwell's performance and it's a tall order to hold a movie on one person's shoulders. After I was done watching it I thought it was pretty good but after reflecting for a couple of days I think I really liked it. He did a solid job acting and the story was relatively interesting, one of the better low budget films I've seen in awhile. I give this movie a B.
