Wow, the director of Moon is David Bowie's son? Cool! (Must... resist... making Major Tom references...)
I'm really looking forward to the sequel, or "shared universe epilogue" or whatever it is. Apparently it's supposed to be heavily based on Blade Runner. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't get excited hearing "Blade Runner" and "new movie project" in the same sentence, but seeing how this director has a good grasp of actual, real science fiction, and seems to eschew CGI in favor of actual miniatures, I'm definitely excited.
I enjoyed Moon a great deal. Sam Rockwell is a hugely underrated character actor. He really doesn't get enough props for being able to play at least FOUR distinct versions of himself onscreen, and for the audience to be able to differentiate them in their different states of revival (and it was much more than hair/costuming).
It also really played with your expectations of the genre... I mean how would you react to a HAL like AI voiced by creepy cool Kevin Spacey.
Looking forward to the next two films in this series and where they might be taking the story. The best Scifi contains the debates of current day and this one is no exception.
