Moon - Personal Movie Review

Moon: Personal Movie Review

Was delighted to have seen the movie "Moon" yesterday. My hubby had to drag me out of the house. I was wearing a very bad-tempered, disgruntled, unhappy face as I had to rush and my internet connection had gone down to zero speed. But I am so glad to have been dragged to the movies.

"Moon" is one of those hard to find films where the story plot is tight and good. It makes you think and it makes you feel with the main character as each personal shock and surprise is revealed.

Original story was written by and movie was directed by Duncan Jones - who also incidentally happens to be the son of David Bowie. As a trivial aside, Duncan Jones was also the best man at the wedding of his dad to Iman.

The main character was Sam Rockwell who did a very good job indeed.

The other main "character" was GERTY the computer. Voice by Kevin Spacey. One could almost see the face of Kevin Spacey when listening to GERTY.

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes a strong good story plot. It is not a high-end, gimmicks and Hollywood fancy-gadget movie but that is what makes this movie such a good watch. The scenes, atmosphere, and story-line are the real winners and the acting is impeccable.

Congratulations and thank you to Duncan Jones for a very good thinking yarn. So hard to find these days.
