6 Reasons You Should Want To See Moon

Low-fi sci-fi with Sam Rockwell? Yes!

It’s grounded in science fact.

True, it’s a fictional tale, but Jones got advice from experts to make the physics surrounding the film as real as possible. And the futuristic-seeming power technology is also based on proper theories.

“The situation depicted, that there is not enough helium on the earth, is a fact,” says the director. “And it is also a fact that there is plentiful supply of helium three on the moon. So, starting from there it makes sense. Mining the moon for helium three is a real possibility.”

      I've looked up this movie before, but only realised I had on the seventh page when you mentioned the man called 'Berry' was in it. Dixon bloody Bainbridge in a Sci-Fi film with Sam Rockwell. It's got to be brilliant.

      This is what sci-fi is supposed to be like, to make you feel that you are there with them, don't get me wrong I can't wait to see the new star trek. But I think this could be the film of the summer for me (if it is as good as it looks). Nice to see Sam Rockwell back on form, arguably one of the finest actors of our time, and he doesn't seem to feel the need to be an a*****e in the process ( like Christian Bale, Russell Crowe)
