Sci-Fi Thriller? Oh yes, please.

The next film in our summer film series will keep all our sci-fi fans in absolute delight.  Not a sci-fi groupie, fear not.  This is still an incredible film that you will want to watch and be so glad you came to.  What is it?  Well, none other than Duncan Jones' Moon.
Wait, you've never heard of this movie before?  Well, you are not alone.  Many missed this films debut a couple of years ago and yet it is still a standout film in the sci-fi genre.  Moon stars the incredible Sam Rockwell as an astronaut whose sole job is to sit on the moon and harvest energy to be sent back to Earth.  Humanity has depleted its energy supplies.  With the help of a new technology, Rockwell's character is able to harness and transfer energy from the moon.  The problem is that this is a solo job.  He is there alone for a three year period.  His only companion is the computer AI named Gerty (voice by Kevin Spacey) who provides excellent dry and witty remarks that pepper the film with humor.  Unlike Kubrick's Hal in 2001: a Space Odyssey, Gerty emits a sense of concern and compassion towards Rockwell.  That is, until it begins to doubt Rockwell's sanity and begins to inform those back home about what it believes is happening to him.
The film starts at the end of Rockwell's time on the moon.  He has become a little stir-crazy...and perhaps a little crazy period.  And then things get really interesting...  

This film has been called a tour de fource, a rare gem, epic, superb.  And, we agree.  You will too. 

Join us this Monday, the 3rd of August at 7 p.m. for Moon.
