Read the whole review on TMDBSam Rockwell is really good here as the sole occupant of a lunar base. Coming to the end of his three year stint, "Sam" is beginning to suffer from the effects of his loneliness. With only his automated pal "GERTY" (Kevin Spacey) for company, he longs to get home to his wife and daughter and to some semblance of a normal life. His job is to harvest the clean energy giving "Helium-3" and send it back to Earth and it's an accident on one of the harvesters that sees him wake up in the infirmary. "GERTY" assures him that everything is OK, but when he gets back on his feet, he becomes uneasy about the truth. How did he get back? What did happen? Despite the protestations of his carer, he returns to the silo and makes quite a startling discovery. Is he losing the plot? This interaction causes him to question everything about himself, about his mission and about, most importantly, his future. Does he have one? Does he even have a past? Rockwell really does capture strongly the sense of encroaching, almost claustrophobic, isolation married with an increasing sense of confusion and exasperation. He starts to feel fear - but what of?

Read the whole review on TMDBGreat watch, would watch again, and do recommend. Sam Rockwell no only carries the movie, but he's literally the only person in the movie that isn't on a screen. He plays off himself amazingly well and really balances the struggles of both the individual and the clone to clone interaction. The struggle feels like how someone would react to the situation, and Rockwell adds his own special flair to it. The setting of Luna is amazing, granted it's mostly in the small station, but it makes me jealous that we haven't established moon colonies. Space madness might be a real thing, but it is because someone is alone and not part of a group. I want more movies like this for every reason: more Sam Rockwell, more Luna settings, more clone movies, more isolation theory, more, "OMG, MY ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE, WHAT IS HAPPENING!".
