||||||||

Been waiting for this. Will go and watch at the weekend. Thanks. |

i'd avoid reading a peep about it but if you like 70's scifi you'll be stoked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, read about it. looks really promising! love brainy sci-fi flicks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really want to see this, but there isn't a cinema near me that's showing it. the only places i can easily get to are Manchester or Birmingham. and i'm not spending a fortune getting there just to watch it at the cinema. gonna have to wait until it's released :( |

I have been avoiding reading about it as its been years since ive gone in to a Sci-Fi film completely clean. Only got the trailer to go on. It's a refreshing feeling, like living in the age before the internet ruined every surprise ever. I adore old sci-fi. Just got femdeksical in to Planet of the Apes the other night. We're working our way through them now. |

how big does the earth look from the moon. about 4 times as the moon looks on earth? |

Did the box art not ruin it? |

She didn't look at the box. She wouldn't have watched it in the first place if I had told her what film it was going to be. Once it was on she couldn't be arsed to protest and ended up loving it. |

good surprised the plot / twist wasn't spoiled before i saw it i felt it could have been two parts; it seemed like they were cramming in a lot of plot/development and were running out of time. why/how was gravity normal (earth-normalized) inside the base? |
||||||||

|
|
i bought the andromeda strain too the other day to celebrate swine flu. not watched it in years. . . -why/how was gravity normal (earth-normalized) inside the base? not really one of the pressing questions i had when i left the cinema=] but best not get into discussion about any of it since hardly anyones seen it yet. |

metalicadude doesnt the earth atmosphere alter the perceived size of the moon ...so instead the earth looks quite small from the moon as their is no atmos? or is it all the otehr way around/?> |
||||||||
|

on the moon, the earth would look like what the sun looks like from earth i bet |

apparently you can see the moon from the great wall of china |

i think GERTY must have some reference to this guy Christopher Gerty Constellation Program Aerospace Engineer NASA Assignment: "I will be the Mission Specialist #3 during the NEEMO 13 mission. My job is to be a liaison for the Constellation Program to see how living and working in an underwater habitat can help us learn how to live and work on the moon and Mars". (link doesnt seem to work directly to nasa biopage) i reckon he may have had something to do with the development of this film |

good grief.. i expected a somewhat less revealing trailer. it looks heavily inspired by 2001 and solaris, obviously, and i can't help but thinking of sam rockwell as a comedy actor, his most notable performance no doubt being his part in THHGTTG. nevertheless really excited about this one! looks fucking great. |

Everyone seems surprised that it only cost five million to make. It's just a big lump of cheese. |

nah, they just hired the original set from 1969, silly. |

The cros that is sposed to be on the CARMERA is added afterwards you can see wher it goes through the space suit |

Haha, yes, my first reaction was: "wait, isn't that HAL ... with a smiley?" I get some 'Sunshine' vibes as well. I liked sam rockwell's performance in 'the assassination of jesse james'. it's a looong film, though. hopefully we'll see some good stuff soon. i believe the film I've enjoyed the most this year's 'the international'. it's got its fair share of ranting, but I really enjoyed it. and I'm a 99 % sure that 'surrogates' will be a blockbuster, and I'll probably see it whenever it reaches sweden, even though we're all familiar with the themes. i mean, it's obvious, just look at the . |

Disctrict 9 was more down to earth but good movie none the less. |

this. |

The film is average. It just seems good because everything else around is shit. Solaris was miles better. Liked the moon shots though, very effective. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's about what I thought also. District 9 and Moon where good movies but not groundbreaking. They only seem groundbreaking because everything else is mediocre in science fiction movies. In fact, District 9 almost evolved into another action movie in the guise of a science fiction movie which really makes it sci-fi. |
||||||||
|

|
|
solaris was much better, i agree moon was ok, not as good as it was made out to be |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are there any decent science fiction films past.. say... Jurassic Park? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Moon was the result of someone watching Solaris (Solyaris) and 2001, combining them, stripping them of any real intellectual value and then hiring a writer to produce a poorly written script that reveals the entire story within 30 minutes. Add some hacky CGI sequences and VOILA! You have Moon... but dont worry, you'll still get rave reviews simly based on the fact that you made the movie with under 5 million dollars which is supposed to be incredibly impressive. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
good point about the big reveal within 30 mins |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it starts falling apart when the clone argument is introduced in the story imho, from that moment the actor acts both the performances like he knew he wasn't being credible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Didn't like District 8 either. Every sci-fi or action film is like every other sci-fi or action film. CGI replaces stories, and it's so expensive they can't afford actors that can bring credibility to the roles. I say, go back to paying actors and drop the CGI. There's no substitute for human emotion. Transformers proved how CGI becomes utterly meaningless and pointless and not even enjoyable when the script is dogshit and the acting not much better. |

I disagree with the last few comments, as I thought this film was fantastic. It's premise created one of the saddest films I've seen in a long time. With the idea that this man, who believed himself to be a real person with a history, is actually a clone in place quite early on in the film we're given time to view how he comes to terms his new found non-existence. The setting, special effects etc. all serve as a function for putting a man in a room to have a conversation with himself about the meaning of his pitiful existence. I thoroughly enjoyed the differences in personality between the two Sam's and how the one who had spent three years longing and waiting to go back to his 'family' reacted differently to the 'newborn'. Rockwell was great for me. I could write a whole lot more but I think I'm coming across as a bit of a gobshite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Rockwell did have a great performance. A big problem I had was the way the Clones interacted with each other after discovering each other. It was completely unrealistic, especially considering they were supposed to think they were human. Theyre response to a moment that is meant to be completely and utterly shocking was totally unhuman. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
spot on |
||||||||
|
|

How would you react considering you'd been hallucinating and building up to some kind of nervous breakdown already? Even at the end, with the 'original' Sam back in the seat at the point of the crash, how can we be sure that the whole incident is even real and not some massive hallucination during his last few breaths? I thought the whole thing worked well in this context and that that idea, rather than the one that they were even clones in the first place was the 'big reveal'. That the two Sam's are such different parts of what is essentially one personality and the nature of their conversations with one another (discussing the purpose of the universal 'Sam' existence) pointed, for me anyway, towards the last gasp justification of his life. He wanted to believe so much that somewhere there was a part of him returning to earth with a second chance to begin life afresh ('newborn' Sam), that somewhere there was a version of him that had never made the foolish decision to go to the moon (older Sam on Earth) and that somehow there was the possibility of him living on forever, in whatever form (the massive number of clones) rather than dying pitifully young and by his own stupid hand without ever having the chance to say goodbye to the ones he loved. Or something like that. |

Good night mo, I'm going to get in to bed and watch another sci-fi classic... Critters 4. |

|
cool flick indeed |

I wasn't expecting that particular twist. I thought maybe he was dying out in the rover, hallucinating waking up in the base. As soon as he saw the suit missing, I knew what was going on and everything fell into place. I like when they show you the "rescue crew" and you see their thug faces for a moment. It was non hollywood. In hollywood movie, someone would have said, "hey, those guys don't look like rescuers to me. I don't like this." *ominous music* |
