Moon - Blu-ray Forum

Budke · 04-29-2009, 01:39 AM

Duncan James' indie sci-fi film 'Moon' starring Sam Rockwell is not getting a wide release. It was one of the favorites at Sundance and is only being released in NYC and LA.

Anyone who lives in these areas should go see it with the chance of getting it a wider release.

Here is the trailer for those who haven't seen it.

Damn. This looks amazing too...

hardcorefrokid · 04-29-2009, 02:07 AM

Looks good, think I might check it out.

blu-mood · 04-29-2009, 02:15 AM

Yeah, God forbid Moon should get as many theaters as Obsessed.

This reminds me of an old tlight zone episode. Still an old story that can be extremly realistic. Yeah God forbid that theaters actually show good movies instead of crap...

Is there any new news on this movie? I see that it's hitting the UK now, but will it be out on BD soon, since it never got a wide-release?

For now I have to just keep looking at the poster and wondering if it's any good:

For anyone that's seen it... was it any good?

I know, looks like something I would be very interested in watching. At least make it Blu!

Zvi · 04-29-2009, 02:41 AM

Yeah, looke very nice. I didn't catch it it, he picked up himself or a clone? The other guy looked like himor I'm wrong?

hardcorefrokid · 04-29-2009, 02:46 AM

Where in LA is it coming out?

MyBlu-rayBrotherEd · 04-29-2009, 03:15 AM

That's a bummer. I hope it gets released on bluray someday. I'd like to see it.

SquidPuppet · 04-29-2009, 05:29 PM

FWIW, Netflix shows it will be coming to Blu-ray, date unknown. Netflix usually doesnt have an option to "save" as Blu, unless it really is coming to Blu. At least that has been their track record so far.

broganreynik · 04-29-2009, 06:22 PM

Man, after watching that trailer, I really want to see this one. Could be one of the next great cult sci-fi movies since it's not being widely released.

Minimejer05 · 04-30-2009, 02:46 AM

I can confirm that the NON wide release news is false. I spoke with the director Monday night after viewing the film at a festival and he said that its ONLY starting in NYC and LA...then spreading if it does good(which he plans) He even told me that the theater I saw it at (St Anthony Minneapolis MN) Will be getting it back June 27th.

AWESOME movie by the way..cant believe he shot it on a 5 mil. budget.

EDIT..and his name is Duncan Jones not James(to main poster)

Steve · 04-30-2009, 04:00 AM

It definitely looks interesting. I would like to see it.

I'm a huge Sam Rockwell fan; I will definitely be seeing this.

Sussudio · 07-13-2009, 01:26 AM

the movie was incredible. i was able to catch the NY premiere and meet the director, and both were awesome. it's extremely difficult to churn out fresh and GOOD new sci fi, but duncan jones has pulled it off imo. highly recommended.

silversnake · 07-13-2009, 05:07 PM

I am going to go see this tonight. I'll post here after seeing it.

silversnake · 07-14-2009, 02:06 AM

Just saw Moon and WOW. Really good movie. If it's playing in your city, don't miss out. I really enjoyed the movie and after seeing the trailer I kept trying to guess what was going to happen and try to piece it all together. The music by Clint Mansell is awesome as expected. I didn't know he was in this so I was very happy to see his name in the opening credits.

A few times in the movie I could tell that they didn't have that much money for their props etc. But when you take into account the budget they had, the movie looks incredible. It just doesn't look very sharp like Hollywood blockbusters and has this "hazy" look to it.

Enough talk, go see it!! Thanks to the OP and toefer for bumping this thread.

Big-byrd · 07-24-2009, 04:41 AM
