Despite the modest resources, Moon is so visually astonishing that it almost looks like it was shot on location on Earth's oldest satellite.

尽管资源有限，《月球》是如此惊人，它看起来几乎像是在地球最古老的卫星上进行外景拍摄。

——Dan Lybarger, eFilmCritic.com

Moon is first-rate science fiction, tackling such issues as identity, individuality and the effects of isolation on the psyche and the soul.

《月球》是一部一流的科幻小说，处理了身份问题、个性和孤立在心灵和灵魂上的影响。

——Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

Cleverly written and perfectly performed, this is a low-budget scifi straight out of the old-school.

巧妙的剧本和完美的演出，这是一部从老旧中走出的低成本科幻电影。

——TomBowler

Sam Bell(Sam Rockwell)is nearing the end of a three-year work contract at Lunar Industries' largely automated “Sarang” lunar base, where he is the sole resident. Sam oversees automated harvesters and launches canisters bound for Earth containing the helium-3 they extract. Chronic communication problems limit him to occasional recorded messages with his wife Tess, who was pregnant with their daughter Eve Bell(Kaya Scodelario)when he left. His only companion is an artificial intelligence assistant named GERTY(Kevin Spacey provided the voice), who assists with the base's automation.

Two weeks before he is to return to Earth, Sam suffers from hallucinations of a teenage girl. One such hallucination distracts him while he is out recovering a helium-3 canister from a harvester, causing him to crash his rover into the harvester. Rapidly losing air, Sam dons his helmet in time, but still loses consciousness from his injuries.

Sam awakes in the base infirmary, but with no memory of the accident. He overhears GERTY receiving instructions from Lunar Industries not to let him outside the base and to wait for the arrival of rescue team “Eliza”. He manufactures a fake problem with the base to force GERTY to let him outside. Inside the crashed rover he finds another, unconscious Sam Bell.

After bringing this Sam back to the base and tending to his injuries, the two Sams start to wonder if one is a clone of the other. They get into a heated argument and physical altercation, but soon work together to coerce GERTY into revealing that in fact they are both clones of the real Sam Bell, who is on Earth. GERTY had awakened a new clone after the rover crash and implanted the memories of the real Sam Bell, believing that the original clone could not be recovered. The two clones start exploring the base. They find out that communications are being jammed by antennae at the far edges of the base, and that previous clones have all started to deteriorate and become very ill after about three years of being revived — upon which, believing they were being put into hibernation for the journey home, were simply incinerated. They also discover an enormous vault containing hundreds more clones below the base. The older Sam drives past the interference range in another rover and calls Tess(Dominique McElligott)on Earth, only to get Eve, now 15 years old, who informs him that Tess had died years before. He hangs up before the real Sam can answer.

The Sams realise that the incoming rescue team will kill them both if they are found together. The newer Sam suggests sending the other to Earth in one of the helium-3 canisters, but the older Sam, already in an advanced state of deterioration, knows he will not live much longer and instead suggests the newer Sam go and alert the public to what Lunar Industries is doing. The older Sam plans to return to the crashed rover and die there, so Lunar Industries will not suspect anything. They work with GERTY to erase all records of the second clone, and then revive a third clone to await the Eliza rescue team. They also program one of the harvesters to crash into a jamming antenna to enable communication with Earth. The older Sam, back in the rover, watches as the canister taking the other Sam is launched to Earth, before blacking out.

As the credits roll, news broadcasts report that the clone's testimony about Lunar Industries' illegal activities stirred considerable controversy on Earth, causing the company's stock to crash.

萨姆·贝尔(萨姆·洛克威尔饰)一人独居，他在月球产业公司的大型自动化月球基地“萨朗”三年的工作即将合同期满结束。萨姆监视自动收割机，提取氦-3,并将其放入罐子中发射回地球。长期的通信问题使他只能偶尔看看妻子泰丝的录制消息。当他离开时，妻子正怀着他们的女儿夏娃·贝尔(卡雅·斯考达里奥饰)。他唯一的同伴是一个人造智能助手“格蒂”(凯文·史派西配音)，帮助他进行基地的自动操作。

在萨姆返回地球前两周，他经常出现关于一个少女的幻觉。在一次外出从收割机中取回氦-3罐子时，再次出现这种幻觉分散了他的注意力，致使他驾驶的飞行器冲向收割机。很快就没了空气，萨姆及时戴上了头盔，但他却在伤害中失去了意识。

萨姆在基地医务室醒来，但对这次意外却丧失了记忆。他偶然听到“格蒂”收到来自月球产业公司的指示，不让他到基地外面去，并等待救援队“伊莱扎”的到来。他制造了一个基地出现问题的假象，迫使“格蒂”让他到基地外面，在那艘撞坏的飞行器里，他发现了另一个失去知觉的萨姆·贝尔。

他将这个萨姆带回基地并悉心照料。他们开始怀疑他俩其中一个是由另一个克隆而成，激烈地争辩起来并发生了肉体上的冲突。但不久，他们就一起设法迫使“格蒂”揭开了事实：他们俩都是地球上真正的萨姆·贝尔的克隆体，当那艘飞行器撞坏后，“格蒂”以为原来的克隆体不会恢复，就唤醒了一个新的克隆体，并植入真的萨姆·贝尔的记忆。这两个克隆人开始对基地进行探索，他们发现通信问题是由于基地边缘的天线干扰所致。之前被唤醒的克隆体在三年之后，身体都开始恶化。原来他们以为自己会在休眠状态下被送回地球，但后来发现只是会被简单地烧毁。他们还在基地下面发现了一个巨大的地下室，里面有几百个克隆人。较早被克隆出来的萨姆驾驶另一艘飞行器开出干扰范围，呼叫地球上的泰丝(多米妮克·麦克艾丽戈特饰)，现在已经15岁的夏娃接了电话，她告诉他，泰丝几年前已经去世了。他在真的萨姆接电话前挂了电话。

两个萨姆意识到，如果即将到来的救援队发现他俩在一起，就会杀死他们。新萨姆建议另一个萨姆乘氦-3罐回地球，但老萨姆知道自己身体已经深度恶化，活不了太久，建议新萨姆回地球，并向人们警告月球产业公司所做的恶行。老萨姆计划返回那艘撞坏的飞行器并死在那儿，这样月球产业公司就不会产生任何怀疑。他们和格蒂一起清除了第二个克隆体的所有记录，然后唤醒了第三个克隆人等待伊莱扎救援队的到来。他们还安排让一个收割机撞进干扰天线中以便能够和地球通信。老萨姆回到那艘飞行器中，在停止呼息之前看着罐子带着那个萨姆被发射回地球。

字幕显示，新闻报道了返回地球的克隆人针对月球产业公司进行非法克隆的证词引起地球上广泛的争议，并使这个公司的股票崩盘。

hang up是英语中一个固定搭配，它词义丰富，在文中是“挂断(电话)”的意思，比如：She hung up on me. 她挂断了我的电话。另外，hang up较常用的意思主要有：“把……挂起”、“延迟，中止，搁置(常用被动语态)”“(使)搁浅;(使)受阻无法行动”等，比如：We've been badly hung up for attacking the town. 攻击那个城镇时我们受到顽强的抵抗。

Duncan Jones Interviewed by Simon Brew

Let's start with the most important question of all: how is the campaign coming along to get Sam Rockwell his Best Actor Oscar nomination for Moon?

Not bad! You know，it's a weird one. You know a bit of the background behind it, that we thought he deserved it, then started up this very informal Twitter campaign? And then it got picked up by quite a few sites on the Internet, and now we're starting to see little mentions of it in magazines and a lot of the press that do Oscar predictions. We are getting the odd call here and there that Sam might be one of those people up there with Jeremy Renner from Hurt Locker as possibly filling in that last space.

The thing that really struck me about the film is the silence. I always think that silence on film is really hard, that you have such a balancing act, to temper the monotony...

How do you tackle that? Do you do that on set, or is it something that comes together in the editing room?

Actually, there was an awful lot of time in writing the script, and even before that. Just pacing out the story when I was at the treatment phase. Working out just how much silence is there at any given point, and also how can I make sure that there's enough variety in the visuals to keep the audience engaged and interested.

Because you can't just stick a guy in a box and expect him to entertain everyone, no matter how good an actor he is. It was really coming up with enough new moments and feelings and emotions, and keeping the story moving forward. And at the same time, make the audience buy into the idea that this guy's been on his own for such a long time.

让我们从最重要的问题开始：让萨姆·洛克威尔因《月球》获奥斯卡最佳男演员提名的竞选活动进行得怎么样?

还不错，你知道这感觉很奇怪。你了解一点这件事的背景，我们觉得他有被提名的实力，于是在推特网上开始了这次非正式的竞选活动。结果被多个网站链接，当前的现象是杂志不怎么提及，而对奥斯卡做预测的报刊经常报道。我们接到很多奇怪的电话，说萨姆可能会与《拆弹部队》里的杰瑞米·雷纳一起加人最后的席位。

这部电影中真正震撼我的是沉默，我通常认为在电影里沉默是非常难的，表演要做到足够协调，来调节单调……

你是怎么处理的?你是在拍摄的时候还是在后期剪辑的时候处理?

实际上，在写剧本，甚至在写之前我花了大量时间。治疗期间我一直在构思故事，在每个点有多长时间沉默，如何让视觉上丰富多彩，让观众感兴趣并投入其中。

因为无论这个演员多棒，把他困在一个盒子里，无论如何也无法取悦观众。要有足够多的新鲜时刻、新感觉和新情绪才能让这个故事继续下去。同时，还要让观众相信这个人已经在很长一段时间里都是独自一人了。

影片只用了33天就完成了拍摄工作。

影片拍摄期间发生了编剧大罢工事件。编剧大罢工造成了谢珀顿制片公司数部电影的停工，本片导演邓肯·琼斯表示，正巧有了其他电影的停工，所以他才能找到几个业内顶尖的特效制作师加盟这部独立制作的小成本科幻片。

那些发生在月球上的室外镜头是用模型拍摄而成的，所有的室外镜头在三天内就拍摄完成。

影片拍摄完成后，曾经放映给美国国家航空和宇宙航行局的科学家们看。这些科学家问导演，为什么要在月球的阴暗的一面开采氦-3,因为在月球的明亮的一面，氦-3的储备量更高。对此，导演的解释是在阴暗面开采氦-3不会影响到生活在明亮面的动物。
