This 'Moon' Movie Looks Pretty Good

Bloody Disgusting has posted 18 eye-pleasing images from the upcoming Sam Rockwell-starring sci-fi film, Moon. As they describe it, Rockwell plays an astronaut named Bel, who "has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period." There may never be a complete return to the dark, thoughtful, elegantly shot sci-fi filmmaking of something like the original Solaris and 2001, but this sounds and looks like the next best thing. After this, of course:

Giant snow tiger cub perched on the moon is always the best thing. It basically invented science fiction. You wouldn't know what a light saber was if this guy hadn't slumped over those craters during an eclipse.
