This looks really good.

dammit, come ON man!!

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is nearing the end of his contract with Lunar. He's been a faithful employee for 3 long years. His home has been Selene, a moon base where he has spent his days alone, mining Helium 3. The precious gas holds the key to reversing the Earth's energy crisis.

Isolated, determined and steadfast, Sam has followed the rulebook obediently and his time on the moon has been enlightening, but uneventful. The solitude has given him time to reflect on the mistakes of his past and work on his raging temper. He does his job mechanically, and spends most of his available time dreaming of his imminent return to Earth, to his wife, young daughter and an early retirement.

But 2 weeks shy of his departure from Selene, Sam starts seeing things, hearing things and feeling strange. And when a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, he discovers that Lunar have their own plans for replacing him and the new recruit is eerily familiar.

Before he can return to Earth, Sam has to confront himself and the discovery that the life he has created, may not be his own. It's more than his contract that is set to expire.

I. AM. THERE.

do you guys ever which that you WEREN'T a movie geek? that you DIDN'T think immediately of possible twists and plot points? that you could just go to the movies blind and dumb and just turn your brain off?

I wish that sometimes. also, I wish I could stop time like Hiro...I'd be the best poker player in the WORLD.

It took me a second to get your gag... sorry man it's late here.

Plus, there really wasn't much there for the price.

Seriously, that's cool, but is it economical to mine refine and return that stuff to Earth? Just wondering.

I'm not a physicist or chemist... so forgive my ignorance: Is helium 3 used for fission? or is it a candidate for fusion reactors? Is it safe to use (ie what is the downside... is there radioactive waist)?

Can't wait to see it.

How ironic that i tied my shoe today then saw a converse ad on tv.

Nope. Still not ironic.

of the movie in the trailer?

its a great trailer except for that.

dont show the identity of the other astronaut in the trailer.

thats all.

is that so hard?

What's all this in the tagline about being 950,000 miles from home?

Interestingly enough, Rob IS deaf in one ear. Or partially deaf. Or something. I'm about to leave work and I'm in a hurry. Just wanted to give Tom a shout out.

Love Sam Rockwell, hope this movie rocks. Beetle out!

You find artistic movies pretentious? LOL

You find artistic movies pretentious? LOL -- 2001 was an artistic movie. 2001 had long minutes of dialogueless apes; MOON EUROPA has long minutes of dialogueless astronaut chick. Why love the former and hate the latter?

2001 is not an art film because it lacks dialogue. I'm not sure it's even fair to call it an art film. It has a traditional narrative structure if you consider the human species to be the protagonist. The problem with whoever made Moon Europa, based on what I can glean of the narrative from the trailer, is that they did not notice that 2001 is a story about a protagonist (man) who experiences an inciting incident (the monolith) that causes him to pursue a goal (the next stage of man) in direct competition with an antagonist (supercomputer) until progressive complications lead to a climax (disconnection of hal), a revelation (trippy wormhole sequence) and new equilibrium (star child, the next stage of man). Same as virtually every successful story ever told. Pretentious art snobs notice that there is no dialogue and long sequences of monotonous activity and interesting uses of color, but usually fail to notice that the main bulk of the story is not complicated or obtuse in the slightest. They say "ooh look, a scene with apemen barking at each other! How avant garde!" but fail to notice that the Dawn of Man sequence is just a thematic precursor to the rest of the movie with the same narrative arc. The humans in 2001 are mostly silent, robotic, monotonous because they have advanced to a degree that is paralleling the artificial "humanity" of Hal. Why is the chick in Moon Europa behaving like she's on horse tranquilizers? Let me guess, because some film school student thinks 2001 is "cool".

Again, haven't seen it, but nothing irks me more than amateurs thinking Kubrick was just some willfully obfuscating iconoclast who would do something in a movie to be arbitrarily "artistic". Why love the former and hate the latter? Because Kubrick is a genius and if you can't figure out why then don't even bother trying to work in his realm.

In any case, the point of the plot is not to get to the end as quickly as possible; otherwise we could just start at the end. The point is to enjoy the view along the way. Thus hauntingly beautiful sequences are part of the point.

And I think your confusing the astronaut woman's being bored (which she obviously is) with the scene's being boring (it's not).
