If you liked Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, watch Moon

Gore Verbinski’s Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die takes an irreverent approach to dystopia, blending slapstick with the darker edges of Black Mirror. Sam Rockwell’s performance as a man from the future does much of the heavy lifting, and if you want more of Rockwell’s work, Duncan Jones’ Moon is a very different but equally great film.

In Moon, Rockwell plays Sam Bell, the sole human responsible for maintaining Sarang Station, the lunar facility built to mine helium-3 after Earth underwent an oil crisis. His only companion is a robot named GERTY (Kevin Spacey), and live communications with Earth have been disabled in favor of recorded messages from his wife, Tess (Dominique McElligott).

Battling chronic loneliness during a mandated three-year stint, Sam counts down the days until he can return home—but a solar storm damages communications and a rover crash leaves him with a shattered sense of reality. The post-crash Sam in the infirmary is actually a clone.
