Starring Sam Rockwell. It's very much a sci-fi movie, and
I "think" it's about cabin fever, but not 100% sure.


Has somebody seen it, and care to give a few small 'spoilers'?


I'm obsessed with this shit right now. I don't know where to find
it in Bangkok

I've seen it, it's a pretty good SF movie in my opinion.
Not really about cabin fever but about c_____.
Man, don't make me ruin it for you!
If you can't find it in Bangkok you can look for it on the internet.

I LOVE sam rockwell.....& i enjoyed the movie..has a 2001 space oddesy feel to it. The ending seemed a bit un-finished.Id give it an 8/10

PS..just watched another of his movies last night.. "Choke"...really wierd & lots of nudity...

I won't tell, "Moon" revolves around THAT word, it's too much of a spoiler!

Throw in "Alien" and you got a movie

I saw it last year and thought it was very good although the ending could have been bigger.

And I agree it's not so much about cabin fever as much as the other "C" word.

I was so waiting for a Bowie song to play on the alarm clock.

I cant wait to see this. DIRECTED BY DAVID BOWIE's SON.

I really want to see this. Seems like my kind of thing.

i liked it alot but not as much as I like hal from 2001.

But it was a great movie.I enjoyed it alot.Amazing vommit scene and the moon buggy scenes.Great acting.

I'm halfway watching "the lovely bones" now and just cried like a bitch.
Maybe I had a little to much wine but it is so sad.

Gonna watch 2nd part.
adios.

How are you halfway through "The Lovely bones"?

Picking it up today.

Really? Can't find it? I thought the bootleg movie industry was out of control over there.

It started out really trippy and sad and I thought it was gonna be a new silence of the lambs.Now it has a tv movie vibe to it.
I got 15 minutes to go but it's buffering..lol

Go see Moon...Moon is cool.."the lovely bones" first 45 minutes seemed to be cool but then it all went wrong..but nice cgi.. kinda agree with this review on the imdb:

Peter Jackson's unhealthy obsession with CGI truly drives his film off a cliff in his poor adaptation of the novel "The Lovely Bones" Jackson forgoes the book's intelligence and intricate story and puts in an unhealthy obsession for the sensational that drives a wedged between his actors, who really are working with nothing and the viewer, who is left with a empty feeling after the film is over. The characters are nothing but objects for Jackson to manipulate in order to put in more CGI shots and their story is forfeited for a child like look into death, but with out the reality and complexity of the grieving process.

Rachel Weisz, who is one of the most gifted and versatile actresses working today is giving little to do while in the book, her character is the most complex of the entire novel. Despite this, Weisz does a great job, giving the movie more heart and complexity with the little that she's given to work with than what the film does for itself, making a small dent in the parade of mindless CGI that Jackson puts on screen. Mark Wahlberg faces the same problem, giving a good performance that has no support from the director. Susan Sarandon does as much as humanly possible by giving humanity to her striped down and degraded character, who in the book is much more than the comic relief that Jackson tries to puts on screen and Stanley Tucci manages to give a tight performance as the creepy neighbor despite Jackson's unhealthy obsession to make him the main character of the film. Tucci brings dignity and substance to this character, while Jackson tries to exploit him. Last and not least, Saoirse Ronan does wonders with her role, which also stripped bare from the novel. Her character in the book had a complex innocents that had many layers of conflict while in the film, she's basically held as a angel in Peter Jackson's mind. Jackson puts on rosy color glasses when he deals with the character of Susie and that's where he goes really wrong because he does not make her a real person, he makes her an unreal angel that was with out fault.

Peter Jackson not only hurts his own film but hurts the actors who made an effort to be faithful to the heart of the book as well, making this adaptation very painful to watch.

The pacing is slow as shit, but overall quite excellent in spite of that.

And man, if there was somehow ever any doubt before, Duncan Jones is definitely David Bowie's son.

I really enjoyed Duncan Jones movie. I thought it spoke about many issues society is dealing with today, in a subtle way. And I LOVED the pacing of it, it was very Jim Jarmusch that way.

I meant,how are you seeing this movie? A bootleg download? It's not even released here yet.

OK, I saw it today.

It's good. Definately shamelessly Sci-Fi and doesn't attempt to pile on a bunch of hollywood action scenes to make it more 'inclusive' of 14 year old teenage boys looking for the next 'Transformers' fix.

The theme behind the movie has been visited several times so this movie offers little by way of fresh ideas---however, the execution of this movie is more purely sci-fi than any of the previous ones with a similar plotline.

I'm trying to figure out what actually happens at the end of the 3 year contract, and why the flu symptoms. If someone can tell me this since I'm so dense, I would be happy.


Overall, a smart, nicely done, movie with obvious visual nods to 2001--A Space Odyssey (and Saturn 3, I thought).

Very good film, but kinda gave me the feeling it was a long episode of the twilight zone.
