Moon.

[derek]

Moon didn't really get too much support or distribution but I finally managed to watch it yesterday and I recommend the hell out of it.

Best chunk of Sci-Fi to hit cinemas in a long while. It's idea driven, and really quite excellent. It plays off, rather than copies, Solaris (both versions) and 2001: Space Odyssey, and the ultimate effect is some really quality film making.

I like it so much, I started this thread.

I like that variety too.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

it's been advertized a decent amount here in London - but under the radar for sure. i want to see it.

 

[derek]

Totally worth it.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah I've been meanin' to check it out.

 

[Chromatose]

That's no moon.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Thats a buttlestation.

I saw it a while ago. Good movie. David Bowie's son gets my nod of approval.

 

[derek]

Yeah, he played that down, which I thought was good.

 

[vikk]

a movie with soundtrack by Clint Mansell can't go wrong

 

[derek]

Yeah, he's ace.

Wanted to see this, was only playing in one place around here. Heard lots of good things about it. I'll check it out as soon as possible.

Reviews were favorable. A friend in Glasgow said it was one of the best flicks she'd ever seen, despite not being into sci-fi.

Same. Nearest cinema's some 40-odd miles away and they're cool enough not to show this, The Hurt Locker, the new Ong Bak, Harry Brown etc.

Saw it today (there's a decent quality upload floating around on the web), pretty damn fantastic.

 

[derek]

Yeah, it's floating around the net, and if it's a pain to see because of poor distribution, then you can pick it up.

 

[El Stormo]

M-O-O-N... that spells "moon".

 

[EricT]

Saw this again, finally... Definitely the best film of the year, and in contention for top of the decade.

 

[derek]

Yep. Absolutely. Blew me away.

Also, gotta be one of the best movies by a rookie director in a long while.
