Moon (Sam Rockwell, dir Duncan Jones)

I saw Moon at the cinema this week, on the strength of a stylish poster that I pass every day in the tube station at Queensway and a single tweet from su_b. Plus I figured I should see a film about space before it left the cinema and the only option became watching it on our 15" television.

I'm glad I did – it turned out to be the best film I've seen this year, and probably in the last few years. A neat idea, well written and directed, with superb acting from Sam Rockwell. And you get a bonus Kevin Spacey too!

Although it's probably classified as science fiction, Moon is definitely for anyone, not just sci-fi fans. If you're an action junkie then you might consider it to be a bit slow, and on the way home we agreed that there are a couple of bits of the story that raise more questions than answers. But the concept, acting and superb scenery result in a story you could completely immerse yourself in.

And it was the right decision to watch it on the big screen. So unless you've got a huge tv, I recommend seeing it at the cinema if you can.

One of my questions was 'so who is Sam Rockwell anyway?' I hadn't heard of him but it turns out I just wasn't paying attention. His biggest film to date is Frost/Nixon, another one on my list of films that had finished at the cinema by the time I got round to deciding to see it... It's definitely on the DVD rental list now though.
