★★★★ Moon

[Gino: 4.0]

Gino says: 'First off, my 4.0 stars includes a "film festival bump" -- the organic inflation of the score from the pleasure of being out and about at a film festival. So 3.5 if I had rented it.

Low-budget science fiction has become one of my favorite genres, because film-makers have to compensate with good writing. In that sense, this is not as good as the films "Primer" or "Timecrimes", but still fun. While it is actually fairly predictable, I can't give away too much of the plot. So suffice it to say this stars (almost exclusively) Sam Rockwell as a Lunar miner on a solo 3-year contract to operate a base with his robot helper. Things don't turn out too well for him.'
