It&rsquo;s the last two weeks of Sam Rockwell&rsquo;s three-year contract with Lunar industries, the sole employee at a largely mechanized helium mine, and things suddenly go very wrong.</p> <p>Stylistically, Moon follows 2001: A Space Odyssey, down to the music by Mozart. But while Kubrick&rsquo;s 1960s classic thinks about the limits of the human mind (including its expression in computers), Moon is also a child of its times, asking questions about capitalism&rsquo;s control over life.</p> <p>Most importantly, Moon has an awesome plot twist which can&rsquo;t be spoiled.</p> <p>Anyway, here&rsquo;s the trailer:</p> <p><object width="480" height="295"> <param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1TIiOJMJLCU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" name="movie" /> <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen" /> <param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess" /><embed width="480" height="295" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1TIiOJMJLCU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"></embed></object></p> movies Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:01:00 -0600 http://www.urbana.org/blogs/blog.main.allthingsnew.cfm/2009/7/31/Moon
