Meh, it was okay, ending was predictable.

And cloning isn't exactly an unexplored subject in sci-fi. Moon landscapes are reminiscent of 2001, as are many of the technological aesthetics. Good movie, but far from my favorite.

Sci fi is never about the technology, the genre simply uses technology as a means of commenting on modern issues, or raising deeper philosophical questions.
Moon isn't about fusion or cloning, it's about the fundamental question of what it means to be human. Is Sam Bell, Sam Bell?

>>1301774

so then you must not have been watching very intently because if you had it wouldn't be so easy you to casually dismiss the character as just a clone.
The point of the film was to make you feel for this person and realize it was because he IS a person no matter what the circumstance. Your insistence to be unimpressed characterizes you as either someone who's attention can only be grabbed by special effects regardless of writing, or as a person who doesn't really care for films in the first place and gives their opinion half-heartedly.

I'm not disputing that that's the point of most sci fi stories involving cloning/replicants/what have you.
My point is simply that cloning isn't what those stories are about, but rather the issues raised by it.

>>1301820
There's also the case of Gerty, whose compassion and self sacrifice for Sam apparently make him human enough (at least in Sam's eyes) to warrant being 'kick-me'-free.

Now you're just acting childish. I'm sorry if I'm unimpressed by a story I've seen played out ten times before. I don't see how that suddenly makes me only interested in special effects or any of the other nonsense accusations you've made about my character. The movie was well written and well acted, but the material is overplayed. Like I said before, you should watch/read more sci-fi. Moon was nothing groundbreaking or even exceptional.

those were synthetic robots.

and the story was more comparable to frankenstein's monster in the way that you only came around to feeling for them when they finally died in the end.

their story was presented in a way that made them unrelatable on purpose, so you could see them as a monster before your human emotion of compassion kicked in when you realized that they were the victims of their creators

well if you don't like Star Trek The New Generation you are no real sci-fi fan

i have to admit some of the star trek sequels are just stupid but still some are pretty good

so here are some of the sci-fi movies i enjoyed(not by rank):
1) Star Trek TNG
2) Ghost in the Shell
3) The Matrix
4) The Fifth Element
5) The Island
6) Aliens
7) Predator
8) Terminator 2
9) Iron Man (don't know if this has to be here.. but i liked it)
10) Contact

i liked the last part of Star Wars don't know the name but the last part that was shoot it was good
but all other episodes were shit that's why i don't place it in my top movies (cause they clearly are not only sci-fi)

Moon really does not come on my list.. it's not that big of a movie, it's good but not that good..
