Moon (2009)


After three years alone on a moon base, Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) might be starting to lose it.

Take out the sentient computer GERTY, and this film might as well be Clerks: a single location with two characters. Though George Lucas and Michael Bay might think otherwise, science fiction doesn't always require a big budget. All that you really need is a big idea, a talented director and a charismatic star. No CG characters or explosions necessary. Don't believe me? The numbers don't lie. Budget: $5,000,000 Gross: $10,000,000. To say anything else about this movie would spoil all the fun. Just watch the damn thing.
