Ahhhh! It kills me that I missed Moon in the theatres. I mean, there’s no guarantee that I would’ve fallen in love with the film but it certainly has all the ingredients to rank itself up there amongst my fav movies of the year – hard sci-fi, melancholy and a David Bowie connection. Writer/director Duncan Jones is Bowie’s son and, while stretching out into his own medium, Jones’ story finds itself riffing on imagery made popular by his father – that of the lonely astronaut trapped thousands of miles away from home. I’m happy to see that Sony is bringing this to the UK so soon. I only hope we’ll see it on this side of the Atlantic before the new year. Details of the Blu-ray disc release below:
