It's definitely on my list of movies to rent, but I'm still trying to keep up with the DVR, which is rapidly filling up as we speak. I bought Weeds - Season 5 Tuesday, and haven't even had a chance to watch it yet. And I lost an episode of Fringe because I didn't watch it soon enough.
I'm fighting a losing battle with having TOO MUCH good TV right now. How crazy is that? I've got White Collar, Burn Notice, I've got Damages starting, Archer, Modern Family, Fringe, Supernatural, and who knows what else to try to keep up with. I *finally* got caught up on Chuck last nite. Chuck still rocks, and is still among my very favorite shows on the air right now.
But I absolutely want to see Moon. And The Hurt Locker. And Big Fan, with Patton Oswalt. And more. So much TV, so little time!

Once again, the corporate braniacs have thought this through well. Don't stock up on the INTELLIGENT movies; they don't sell. No wonder not so many really good movies get made.

Awesome is AWESOME. I was really afraid they'd killed him, too.

Trying to find it on Blu-Ray was like pulling teeth. Most places like Target had like one copy of the s-dvd.
Finally found it at Best Buy.
It's a great movie. Although I can't recommend it to my "Where's the action?" friends, the more cerebral 2001 crowd of friends will most likely dig it.
Any movie that can question individuality, and human spirit has my vote.
Look here if you want the movie ruined for you.....YES, I AM EVIL
Select to view spoiler:
The one man mining crew on the moon(Sam Rockwell) is a clone. Turns out there are thousands of them on the moon base. One is activated every three years. Problem is he is a clone of an actual person with a wife and child.
And a clone, like you or me has feelings and memories.
When another clone is activated by accident(two Sam Rockwells) on the moon base things get very confusing for a while. Until they accept they are clones. They devise a plan for one of them to get back to earth(via shuttle pod) without the government knowing.
The payoff is great, and I found myself reflecting on human existence after it was finished.
Good stuff.
Oh by the way Kwicko, Big Fan was freaking amazing. Funny and sad.

...and when, having given up trying to obtain it legally, you give up and download it, they'll complain about how downloads are harming sales
Unfortunately, I watched "Moon" on a long-haul flight which is never a good way to appreciate movies, especially ones that mess with your head. However, its certainly more intelligent than your average movie, and if I could turn back time I'd watch it properly for the first time.
NB: its one of those films where you really need to avoid spoilers, so be careful what reviews you read.
(I'd also completely stuffed up on that flight and took along a SF book that turned out to be a dramatized lecture in general relativity - good, but not after 10 hours in Economy class. Oh, my poor head...).
