Clips from Duncan Jones' Moon, a sci-fi thriller starring Sam Rockwell as a mining engineer serving out his contract on a lunar mining colony, with only an AI (voiced by Kevin Spacey) for company. Kaya Scodelario (Skins) is in the film, playing the man's daughter. Reviews have started to arrive from Sundance, and they mention a big twist in the movie about 45 minutes in. Katrina Longworth: 'What marks Moon as a potential sci-fi game changer is the complexity of its philosophy on The Future, one which allows for both limitless faith in human feeling and a skepticism over the human cost of innovation, particularly in regards to Saving The Planet.'
James Rocchi at Cinematical writes: 'Rockwell, mixing invested emotional scenes with tricky effects-driven moments... shines. Even in the most extreme and improbable circumstances, he has a warm, everyday quality to him; his everyday observations still have a loopy, unique energy. Rockwell is given several tough acting challenges here, and he makes them no big deal, and he's as capable of making you laugh as he is of breaking your heart.'
