Moon

 (2009)

Sci-Fi | Thriller



Duncan Jones writes and directs this critically-acclaimed space isolation drama starring Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell, a worker for Lunar Industries who is nearing the end of a three-year contract to mine the moon's surface for the precious gas Helium 3, the solution to Earth's energy crisis. As he approaches his return to Earth, Sam reflects on the lessons he has learned during his prolonged isolation and looks forward to his reunion with his wife and young daughter. But a fortnight before his departure he starts seeing and hearing strange things that lead him to suspect that his employers intend to replace him in a far more sinister way than he imagined. Kevin Spacey provides the voice for Sam's only companion, a small robot called Gerty.

Moon Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Moon descends onto Blu-ray with an exceptionally film-like 1080p, 2.40:1-framed transfer. Moon isn't the sharpest or most intricately-detailed Blu-ray in existence; the transfer reflects the film's minimalist set design and general lack of visual flair, but does so extraordinarily well, making for one of the finest Blu-ray transfers of a visually bland movie. The film occasionally goes soft around the edges, though it does seem in keeping with the Director-intended appearance. Otherwise, fine object detail can be most impressive; every little pebble and crater that make up the moon's somewhat uneven terrain can appear mesmerizingly rich and intricate, while the general grime and wear-and-tear that's ever-present around the station's interior edges and crevices contrast nicely with the smooth, monochromatic and visually dull walls, floors, doors, and other interior objects. The sterile environment seems broken up by only the occasional seam or a myriad of photographs and posters adorning Sam's living quarters, or the several Post-It Notes stuck to GERTY's body. Likewise, scratches, dents, and debris on the exterior of the lunar vehicles and facial hair stubble and bumps, bruises, and scratches on Sam's face are well-rendered. Black levels are strongly realized; flesh tones can appear a bit pale but also in-line with the clean, bright, and harsh lighting of the lunar complex; and a fine layer of handsomely-preserved film grain completes a fantastic transfer otherwise held back only by the film's deliberate lack of visual flair.


Moon Blu-ray, Audio Quality

Moon's DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack is, much like the video presentation, contemplative but precisely reproduced. Clint Mansell's superb score enjoys pinpoint clarity and a perfectly clear and appropriately haunting tone. The track delivers subtle but purposeful bass, often accompanying supportive sound elements, such as the closing of doors or sunshades around the station. More aggressive bass can be found in the rumbling of lunar harvesters, but the subwoofer is never tasked with simply throwing prodigious levels of bass into the listening area. Like the film, bass is reserved and purposeful, shining when need be but staying within parameters and never overextending its presence. Additionally, surround activity is often light but immersive and seamless; music flows into the back, an alarm klaxon blares through the listening area, and dozens of other effects both subtle and somewhat more aggressive create a rather seamless extension of the on-screen environments into the listening area. Even the most minute and forgettable sound effects -- the buzzing of an overhead light or the hum of the station's power grid -- are a testament to the fully-realized atmosphere built into the film's sound design and the DTS track's ability to so smoothly reproduce it. Dialogue -- both human and robotic -- is delivered with a natural tone. Moon's soundtrack may not be the most aggressive or action-packed, but it proves itself time and again to be just as exceptional in its own way.
