Default "Moon"



I have read two German essays about this movie now, which really made me curious. It seems to be a deep-layered movie that puts content and depth over looks. Kubrick and 2001 got mentioned, and any movie capable to take on these two must be a good movie indeed. So the question is: is it good enough indeed? Who has seen it?

Is this the moon you're talking about? (can't view youtube on this computer)

If so, then yeah I saw it on Netflix a while back, definitely an interesting movie. Quiet, and there were some bits that didn't go as I expected (which is nice is this case). I'd saw it was worth a rent

(Also the music is pretty good)

Sorry to hear that, I had massive lags with them yesterday, but today they seem to run fine.

For what it's worth, my girlfriend and I both enjoyed it very much. Definitely out of the ordinary, and definitely very entertaining.

loved the movie. no standard hollywood BS that they are used to including these days. and marketing was very well made, I had no idea what the ending would be (not seen the trailer, seen all situation)
PLUS, Kevin Spacey is in, enough reason for me to watch it

I think it will be good enough,but Kubrick's and also 2001,is more sentimental value,

If after some longer time I cannot remember anymore what the final trigger was that made me putting somebody on that list, I think it is time to try a relaunch.

Story with that identity and cloning thing and artifical past sounded a bit like Phlip K. Dick to me. Which is no criticism but a big plus in my book. I'm a fan of Dick.
