Moon - Alvin Fox - 07-15-2009
Has anyone seen or heard of Moon? It stars Sam Rockwell and the voice of Kevin Spacey. It's really good. I don't want to give too much away. But in the beginging of the movie you'll find it's about a guy who maintains a mining station on the far side of the moon. He's stationed there, alone, for three years. Two weeks before his time is up there's an accident...
[SPOILER]...He then wakes up back on the station. He goes out again to check out the accident and finds himself in the wreckage.[/SPOILER]
It's a good science fiction movie but when I start talking to some friends about it I can visibly see them lose interest when I say it takes place on the moon.

Haven't seen it, Alvin, but I can say this:
On his lively TANGLED WEBSITE, Joe Haldeman liked it a lot.
On her fun NANCY'S BLOG, Nancy Kress hated it so much she's considering giving-up going to see sf films.

I saw a preview. It looks awesome, but the only way to know for sure is to see it.

Well, no two ways about that. But I found it interesting two =great= sf writers had such different reactions to the flick.

That is odd. Then again, there's always someone ready to pan even the best movie, so I hope Nancy Kress was just having a bad day or something. I've really been looking forward to this one.
