MOON

"MOON"(2009/U.K.)
Synopsis
Sam Bell has a three year contract to work for Lunar Industries. For the contract's entire duration, he is the sole employee based at their lunar station. His primary job responsibility is to harvest and periodically rocket back to Earth supplies of helium-3, the current clean and abundant fuel used on Earth. There is no direct communication link available between the lunar station and Earth, so his only direct real-time interaction is with GERTY, the intelligent computer whose function is to attend to his day to day needs. With such little human contact and all of it indirect, he feels that three years is far too long to be so isolated; he knows he is beginning to hallucinate as the end of his three years approaches. All he wants is to return to Earth to be with his wife Tess and their infant daughter Eve, who was born just prior to his leaving for this job. With two weeks to go, he gets into an accident at one of the mechanical harvesters and is rendered unconscious.

Sam had been alone on the moon for a mission with three-year contract. He was looking forward to go back to earth to see his wife and children again. Two weeks before returning to earth, he had an accident. The company thought he died so they prepared the next "Sam" to continue the mission. There were many clones of "Sam" in the moon station and they were waiting to wake up for a three-year mission. Sam survived the accident and he knew the truth but it was too late. He would live for a few days because his body was exposed to radiation by working for three years on the moon.  It meant that Sam will never able to return to earth. 
Sam was really shocked that he was a clone. The story didn't explain the real Sam was at home with his family, but maybe he was. I could feel the feeling of loneliness and disappointment of  Sam's clone. I was confused several times in different scenes of two clones when they are talking to each other, but this movie's story line was easy to understand and I enjoyed very much.
This is Duncan Jones's first feature movie and he is the son of David Bowie. He also directed "Source Code"  that I wrote in the previous review. I became a fan of him and looking forward to see his next movie.
