Movie Review 1: Moon (4/5)

if u have read my earlier entry...
u would have known that lately i have been watching quite a few movies...

probably due to the fact that i am unemployed and without much to do...

nevertheless...
since i watched them...
maybe i can give u all a feel of how these movie were...

the first one that i would go to is the movie Moon...
starring Sam Rockwell...
don't worry...
it's ok if u are unfamiliar with the name...
and...
well...
GERTY...
this advanced thinking program that surprisingly looks more like an MSN emoticon...
it is voiced by Kevin Spacey by the way...

i have to say i enjoy the movie quite a lot...
initially the plot kind of gave me the same feeling i had when i watched the original Spanish version of Vanilla Sky some years back...

i was pretty disappointed back then by the its all a dream thing plot-twist...
i do vividly remember that my English teacher had told me to never write a story where u end off with u waking up and realising everything is just a dream...
maybe the writer's teacher never taught him that...

but for Moon...
u would have probably guessed what is going on pretty early in the movie...
and please don't be mistaken it is not a dream...
but somehow the surreal situation detached me a little from the characters at the beginning...

then i realised the beauty of the movie...
the loneliness and the helplessness...

i think in order to enjoy the movie...
one has to not think so much logically of the plot...
but immerse in the situation the characters are in...
dip into the rich pool of emotions the movie offer...

its an emotion charged film...
filled with underlying hypothesis of situations that maybe created in future...
and the dilemma they would bring...

towards the end as i watched the character flies away from the station...
it reminds me of Ethan Hawk flying for his space mission in Gattacca...
away from the mess of the situation...
into a whole new uncertainty...

Moon is a movie i would definitely recommend...
aside from the fact that the theatre showing Moon and the Cathay does not allow any food or drinks to be brought in...

on a scale of 5...
this would definitely be a 4...
