moon

Lately I’ve been watching a lot of astronomy-related shows online, such as The Universe and Cosmic Journeys. Not really sure why, I guess space exploration is interesting. Anyway, I finally overcame the botched attempt at viewing Moon for the first time on some bootlegged website a few months back by renting and watching it on bluray this past weekend. Its a freaking good movie, and it did a great job of paying homage to many great sci-fi films of the past (the most obvious being Gerty, a clear reference to HAL-9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey). If you are even moderately into sci-fi films, this will be a winner for you. Sam Rockwell is amazing in this movie and I couldn’t believe this was the first attempt at directing by Duncan Jones. Just great all around.
