Tranquil-Moon Movie Reviews

Moon – SciFi 2009

Plot Summary:
With only three weeks left in his three year contract, Sam Bell is getting anxious to finally return to Earth. He is the only occupant of a Moon-based manufacturing facility along with his computer and assistant, GERTY. The long period of time alone however has resulted in him talking to himself for the most part, or to his plants. Direct communication with Earth is not possible due to a long-standing communication malfunction but he does get an occasional message from his wife Tess. When he has an accident however, he wakens to find that he is not alone. He also comes to realize that his world is not what he thought it was.

Very well acted, Sam Rockwell plays the character Sam Bell on a 3 year mining mission on Earth’s Moon. Being the only person at the entire facility Sam must investigate the breakdown on one of the machines.

Off he goes to see what’s up and promptly has an accident that takes him out of commission miles from the base. To his surprise he wakes up back at the base recovering.

How did this happen? Who brought him back to the base? Is he not alone as he thought?

You’ll need to watch it to find out and we think you’ll like it!
