Moon (2009)

Stars: Sam Rockwell, voice of Kevin Spacey

Directed by Duncan Jones

In the near future, the Earth population is now consuming energy through helium-3 and the source of the energy can only be 'mined' from direct sun rays absorbed by the surface of the moon. A lone astronaut on the lunar station Sarang (Damn! It's made in Korea!!! No shit!) runs the mining operations and delivers the energy source through rocket destinations to Earth. He also checks all the equipment and reports it to Earth base to continuously function the distribution of the energy source. He has a robot friend named Gerty who 'assists' him in his operations. He usually gets delayed transmissions of video calls from his wife and daughter. While he's two weeks more before his three-year contract to be finally be over, one of the mining equipment vehicle seems to halt from its operation and needs checking. He got caught in the said accident whilst investigating the truck. He wakes up back to the lunar station where Gerty lets him heal and stay in bed for awhile. When he returns back to his station he sees a perfect lookalike (!) of him with the same actions, memories, and name...and he seems perfectly real! Is it part of the hallucinations he get after working in solitude and eating instant food for 3 years, or is there more than that?

unbearable heat...exhaustion and stroke

Summer in the mid east…

Now, it is really here… unbearable, scorching , intense, hellish…

For us who work and live in comfortable, well airconditioned buildings, we won’t care much, but then again, OF COURSE WE DO!
and for the millions of people who we see toiling under the dreadful heat …it’s a very different story…all I can do is pity them. That’s all I can do… (pray for them, sur and i hope one of them is on QL to read and reiterate this)
