Moon is the first movie by David Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones. Set in the near future, we follow the life of astronaut Sam Bell who has spent the past three years isolated, except for GERTY to talking computer, on the far side of the moon producing Helium-3 to return to Earth which apparently has become the main source of energy. However, just as it is time to leave the station and return to his beloved wife and daughter, his health drastically deteriorates and he finds himself crashing his lunar module. Things take an interesting turn when he is saved by a younger version of himself who is there to serve another three years after he has gone. As the harsh reality, that they are just clones, sinks in they set about trying to rectify the situation and find a way to get back to Earth. 5/5 stars, a must see of 2009.
