A very good movie

For many years, Duncan Jones was mostly know as David Bowie's son with a really weird name but it seems that he has managed to find his own voice. Basically, in just two movies, he has succeeded in becoming one of the frontrunners in the Science-Fiction field. Personally, I wasn't exactly blown away by 'Source Code' but it was a really intriguing and entertaining flick but his directing debut was really impressive. I must admit, the whole thing was rather slow and frankly quite depressing but also so fascinating. Indeed, it was visually really impressive and Sam Rockwell gave, once again, a terrific performance. It is quite incredible that this guy, after making more than 50 feature movies, still doesn't get enough regognition for his tremendous talent. The rest of the cast was just a voice-over provided by Kevin Spacey. Honestly, I thought this GERTY would turn out to be, at some point, some kind of HAL 9000 but even though he/it had a really chilly voice, he wasn't really a threat and, eventually, didn't do much. Maybe they could have developped the robot which should follow the orders but decide to make his own decisions but it is never clear what does actually motivate his actions. Still, it is a very cerebral and quite spellbinding Science-Fiction feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
