A Handful of Clips from 'Moon' with Sam Rockwell

We aren't in New York or Los Angeles, so we don't get to see Moon this week. The new sci-fi film by director Duncan Jones appears to hearken back to a time when the genre (at least in film) wasn't dominated by explosions and effects. It feels like, from what I've seen, an extended Twilight Zone episode, which couldn't be a higher compliment coming from me. The easiest comparison is 2001, which I feel is unfairly excoriated by a new generation of critics and not entirely understood by younger moviegoers weaned on Star Wars. Yeah, it's boring. I concede the point. But you know what? Space would be boring after a while. And anyway, that's not what the movie is really about. But back to Moon...Sam Rockwell stars as a solitary workman on the moon in the weeks before his long tour of duty comes to a close. And then the weird stuff happens. Here are four new clips from Moon, courtesy of Trailer Addict.

Fantastic film this
Saw a double feature presented by Duncan Jones in London. He showed Outland first, which Moon references quite a lot. Same FX dude also.
