Just got back from seeing it and really enjoyed it. Sam Rockwell was brilliant in it, i hope he gets some kind of award recognition for this because it takes some serious acting skills to carry an entire film by himself, which he excels at here.

9/10
 
Its on at the Duke Of Yorks Brighton till Thurs 30 July- 6.30pm most nights (6pm on others)

Ill be seeing it there...
 
No. I don't understand this logic either, that said, I often feel I need to get my copy on day one, but that's just excitement at getting a copy really (I certainly wouldn't que for it at night, thats bedtime!), my wife often has to slow me down and reminf me it'll still be on the shelves tomorrow.:D
 
Can't wait to see this and if you're a Sci-fi fan you should have a look at this one.


The trailer is on the IMDB site, but why not get it from here (about half way down) and watch it in glorious many-pixels:) (you may want to download it because it doesn't steam stutter free on VM 20Mb)

Awesome creepy looking film.

Stated as a mid-July release for the UK.
 
Saw the trailer a while ago, looks awesome. Really hope it lives up to expectation, plus Sam Rockwell is cool, Kevin Spacey has a cool voice for the computer and Matt Berry's in it who i wont be able to take seriously. :D
 
I first heard about it because of being a Bowie fan but it does look really good - I think it's going to be on at my local Cineworld
 
It's awesome. Sam Rockwell rules!

Good luck spotting Matt Berry though. Half-way through and I'd forgotten he was in it. I've still got no idea what role he played.
 
I thought it was a bit silly and it left more questions than answers. If it were my company I'd have made Gerty(s) capable of leaving the base and repairing the harvester itself rendering Sam useless. Obviously, there'd be no movie then so they should have thought about this and made Sam's job in the film more labour intensive (or something) than it actually was. It must have cost the company billions (maybe trillions) to maintain all those clones and for whatever reason they only live three years.

They could create AI in Gerty, had artificial gravity and they could also implant memories into human clones yet time and again after three years (as the videos show) this guy is/was allowed to stumble about sick potentially damaging humankind saving equipment. :rolleyes: If they must use him then have Gerty act like the company robot that it is and terminate him at the first sign of illness or implant a kill switch and do it themselves. All that faffing around just made a mockery of the technology available, the money at stake and also the importance of why he's there. 5/10
 
Well I saw it and I agree with everyone that the film is great. Im still thinking about it 2 hrs after I came out of the cinema...

It certainly didnt look low budget and Sam Rockwell gives a fantastic performance in it...

Its kinda 2001/Blade Runner ish without leaning too heavily on either of them....

Anyone think its funny that Duncan Jones (Zowie Bowie) makes his first film about a man who goes to the moon and cant get home???:rolleyes::D:D:D:D
 
well it's been released (very limited) in the US and is doing really well - it was only on 8 screens & made $136,046 which doesn't sound a lot but it made $17,006 per screen compared to Hangover which is the number 1 film in the US which only made $9,775 per screen over the weekenRAB - so although it's number 20 in this weeks releases on total income it's number 2 if you work out the sums on average per screen - not bad going
 
Found this to be good for a sci-fi film, although I figured it out a few minutes after the incident, so the rest of it became a bit tedious.
 
I didn't get that from the film. I thought it was more to do with the fact that they could only engineer the clones to live a maximum of 3 years before they started to degrade like the original (from our perspective) Sam.

Didn't the real life cloned sheep (Dolly?) only live a short life due to the cloning when compared to other sheeps' lifespans?
 
I watched last night, driving an hour to Bristol as it was the nearest cinema showing it.

Pretty good, nice to have a "thinking" sci fi film for a change.

I liked that the characters were each their own man, so to say.
 
Saw this at Cineworld Broad Street in Birmingham today. I thought it was excellent - brilliantly atmospheric, thought-provoking and moving.

Sam Rockwell carried the film amazingly well and the use of a very limited set helped to convey the feelings of isolation and confinement. One of those films that leaves you thinking about it's themes of isolation and humanity long after the credits have rolled.

If you live in or around Brum and haven't seen it yet and have any regard for quality SF films such as Blade Runner, then I would advise you to get down to Broad Street and catch Moon while you still can.
