How can a movie starring a man and a smiley face (computer) be so good????? HOW????! The man is Sam Bell (played by Sam Rockwell), an astraunaut contracted by Lunar Industries to oversee and do repair jobs for their station on Earth's moon. He has to live alone for 3 years. It is lonely but he has GERTY, the smiley face computer. He talks to GERTY, GERTY talks to him. GERTY is voiced by Kevin Spacey. Sometimes, GERTY expresses concern for Sam; his smiley face becomes a frowny face. Their relationship is weird....and precious. I don't want to give anything away. I went into the theater not knowing anything about it except for the cool poster. So, Sam is lonely, Sam has GERTY, but Sam discovers something very very strange... Directed by Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son!). Beautiful sad movie. 5 out of 5 stars.
yah and the movie was made by david bowie's son!!!!!!
