Oscar cynicism is always annoying to read no matter how true it is.

Theres no reason Sam shouldnt be considered for or that he should deserve it just because they have a history of politics.

This movie can be as great as it is for as long as cinema stays relevant, but Sam Rockwell, who is literally the most talented yet underused actor in all of hollywood, could actually make some more available movies as well as raise the interest of the indies he does all by becoming "Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell" despite proving himself over and over.

The Oscars arnt that far off from being salvagable. And I wouldnt count Amelia as a lock yet since even the industry people (who vote on these) dont seem to like it.

Just saw this film, beyond superb. Man I really hope this gets some nominations at the Oscars. Probably won't but very power house performance by Sam Rockwell, Clint's score is beautiful and delicate, just like human life is. In this seemingly simplistic film, there is many layers to be looked at.

93% Excellent film I recommend highly, sucks I have to wait till January to get it on blu but I will get it day one.

guy i have a few questions regarding the film

Spoiler

1. Why did the character make the car crash into that satelite blocking the comunication, he was going back to earth so what's the point?

2. So the guy made it to Earth right?

Spoiler

1. To me for a few reasons. One a symbolic one of destroying what Lunar Industries was doing, controlling him and the Sam Bell's before him. Also I figure maybe he did it so when the government see's Sam Bell#2 they can link directly to the moon base with no interference and see Sam Bell#3 there, and then they could stop Lunar Industries from what they are doing.

2. Yes Sam made it to Earth, the reporters were clearly talking about how Lunar Industries was now under scrutiny for "crimes against humanity" for what they did to the Sam Bell's throughout. And their questionable practices.

Such a powerful excellent movie one of the great Sci-Fi's I've seen this year, that and District 9 and Star Trek, truly I hope sci-fi's are on the come back. But I will purchase this right away. Sam Rockwell needs to be recognized for this IMO.

totally agree, and thx , that's what i wanted to hear

 

[Solidus]

Truly a remarkable film, if I get time I may right a longer review, but I truly do hope Rockwell is looked at by the Academy.

 

[omid17]

agreed, that was a awesome performance

Late response, but:

Spoiler

(Using Sam1 and Sam2. Sam1 being the one who heads for Earth, and Sam2 being the one who has not yet awoken)

1. The live feed allows Sam2 to know what is going on. Partly because of all the radio/TV that would be dated 13 years (or so) off from what he'd expect, partly because of the news stories about Sam1's arrival to Earth and the fuss he makes, and partly because he'd be able to call his family directly.

So the way I saw it he did it because he wanted Sam2 to know the truth.

2. Yes.

Loved this film BTW. Absolutely fantastic.

My only real complaint (if you can call it that) is it sort of seemed like they'd forgotten about the lower gravity on the Moon. Not a huge deal, but I was just so happy with how hard scifi this was with other aspects I'd hate for there to be like... artificial gravity or something.

loved this movie, Sam Rockwell give a great performance but i bet this will be forgotten by the people when Oscar time arrives.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Pre-ordered this from Amazon but it got bloody delayed, they have re-ordered it for me so cant wait to get my BD and see this beauty again, great movie.

I got this on DVD and now have friction burns from constantly fapping over its awesomeness.

I finally saw this yesterday in some hidden little theater in a shady neighbourhood in Brussels (It looked what I imagine a porn theatre may look like...) and I'm not quite sure what to think of it. I had some vague notion of the premise but I knew next to nothing about it. I purposely avoided the trailers and reviews.

This flick was so different, I hardly know what to make of it. It's a weird movie man, it's weird. And I don't mean to say it's some rampant crazy art-house flick but it's off-beat. The only thing I'm really sure of is the greatness of Rockwell's performance (surely the best performance he's ever given, and he has never been anything less than solid). The only human Sam interacts with is himself and that is just a very odd thing to watch. In a good way ofcourse. Usually when an actor plays a double role there are atleast some more people to interact with (think Adaptation). But this is just Sam and Sam all the time. A pretty bold thing to do, for both director and actor. So in this aspect this film is unique. The Sam's are never very hard to keep apart, because Rockwell makes the both of them look like entirely different people. The idea behind this is very intriguing. Just imagine if you could talk and interact with yourself, both persons physically representing aspects of your personality. One Sam was the grizzled cynic, the other the young buck loudmouth. The interactions were really just like with an other actor, even touching at times. Again, think of the notion of talking to another physical representation of yourself, having the same heartaches and comforting the other you, thus partly comforting yourself. As said, this aspect is what really makes the film stand out.

So this movie had some great existentialistic ideas in it, (what makes you, you? How do you really know it IS you?) which still have me thinking. It might be that the ideas are so big that they eclipse the movie. And the structure of the movie really didn't remind me of anything else. At the point in the movie where the clone-thing is revelead, it isn't played as a huge shocking fact. In fact it's almost as if it's presented as something to **** with the protagonist. As if the writers said: ''Mmm, let's see how THIS affects this guy..''. It was like experimentation with his pysche. It seemed scientific, not cinematic. And if you think I spent this paragraph trashing the movie: I don't think I did. I'm thinking while I'm typing this....trying to figure out this flick. There was near the ending some suspense-esque thing with the rescue mission arriving and Sam leaving in the rocket but this seemed like some cinematic Hollywood-style gift wrapping to present more ideas. Perhaps a bit too much, for I though that the ending was rather rushed and poorly executed (the voices talking about Sam's return) but on the other hand I can also imagine why they did it in that rushed way. Showing the return of Sam and the fall of Lunar Industries would have broken the pace and mood of the film. But on another hand (three hands?) perhaps they should have thought of a different ending altogether.

Cinematically it was well-shot, the SFX looked good most of the time, other times they looked like what they were; models. The music was subtle and it accompanied the scenes and emotions really well. They're not tunes I can hum but it's an excellent film score that does it's job.

I think I have written enough now. Let me conclude that it's above all a very interesting film with superb acting by Rockwell. I do however need to see this sucker again. I know what to expect now and then I can form a full opinion. Quite a thing though, this film. But what kind of thing?

 

[Eggyman]

I understand, Carmine. It took three viewings for me to appreciate it as much as I do. It's a strange film and I can't really think of any other to measure it by... and there lies the problem: how do you judge something when it lies alone?

 

[Sava]

i hope not

bet on it, this movie for some reason hasnt gotten any attention.

Ah that's good to hear, it seemed to me as if everyone who saw it was blown away the first time. I can't really imagine that. I have a rather broad mind when it comes to special or unusual films, but I can't get my head around this very easily.
