Moon

(15)

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is just two weeks away from finishing a lengthy, lonely contract mining Earth's primary source of energy, Helium-3, on the dark side of the moon. Thanks to a glitch in the communications satellite, Sam's only companion on this trip is Gerty (voiced by Kevin Spacey), the base's unsophisticated computer, and the odd recorded message sent from home. As his contract nears termination, Sam starts suffering from crippling headaches and vivid hallucinations, which lead to a near-fatal accident in a lunar rover. But while he's recovering back at the base, he makes a shocking discovery: a younger version of himself has arrived to fulfil the same contract Sam started all that time ago. Is the second Sam just another hallucination or something altogether more sinister?

This movie is just fantastic. Its one of the best Scifi's movies ever made, an fantastic performance from Sam Rockwell and special effects that enhanced the story. This is one for all those true Scifi fans out there. I would recommend this 100%.

A space ship stops at an intergalactic fuel station. While the captain's refueling, one of his idiotic companions plays with the controls and accidently starts the ship and crashes into the earth.

But with Federal agents hot on his heels, Jennings quickly learns that more than just his paycheck is at stake.

This movie is good. This movie was edge-of-the-seat excitement. If you liked the Bourne series then you'll love this too. This movie was slightly too long, but if you want to see a gripping action adventure movie, that keeps you guessing, then watch Paycheck.
