Moon is a British sci-fi movie released in 2009, and it is generally considered as one of the best sci-fi movies of the decade. The movie is about an astronaut named Sam, he has been given the task of watch over moon base used for mining. In the future, an alternative fuel source called Helium-3 is used to power much of the earth. The main reserves where it is found are on the moon, so a base was set up there with constant mining. Sam is serving a three year tour on the base where he collects the canisters filled with the gas dug up by automatic rovers, and then sends them back to earth. One day he goes out to to collect the canister of helium-3 and crashes his cart. He wakes up a couple days later in the infirmary where the base's artificial intelligence, GERTY, is taking care of him. Not long after he starts asking questions, mainly how he got back to the base. GERTY assures him everything is fine and to just rest. But Sam decides to go back to the crash site and see what happened. And when he looks inside the cart he was travelling in, he discovers something he can't believe. Moon is truly brilliant A unique, smart, and original movie. I actually ranked it as the third best movie of 2009 (behind The Hurt Locker and Up). The movie stars Sam Rockwell, and he was absolutely incredible in his role as Sam. I still believe he was robbed for best actor. A fantastic sci-fi/mystery movie that has become a personal favorite, and one more people should see.
