I really liked it. Kevin Spacey's voice was a fantastic addition.

Sam Rockwell is a great actor...which makes this movie salvageable. I wasn't impressed with the ending at all.

That still gives no indication of the film's conclusion, though, however open it might be to some people.
I myself enjoyed the movie, though Rockwell did a solid job.

Moon was an interesting movie, and Rockwell, as always, was outstanding.

I got it on blu ray from netflix and plan on watching it tonight... still really have no idea what it's about though, other than the dude on the moon

That would have been a fun angle for the film to explore, but I just assumed that they didn't want to come off like they were biting Blade Runner by delving into the how and why.

They obviously start falling apart after three years, I was hoping something would be revealed about that.

First is a question. . . at the end was the muffled broadcasting about the clone making it back to earth?
Spoiler below
I took it as the real guy made it home after his daughter was born. I also took that it was the guy that you didn't see on the Video call with the daughter. I assume that the real guy came home and started causing all types of trouble and that is why the muffled broadcast said something like the stock price continues to fall.

I'm not sure what you are saying here, but the healthy clone made it to Earth and told his story to Congress. Subsequently, LUNAR Industries is under investigation. I had to watch the end with the subtitles on to understand the transmission. I'm not sure of the original Sam's role in the whole thing. Clearly, the clones have been running the place for awhile. Maybe Sam original was just used to make the clones, maybe Sam actually worked on the station, the story doesn't tell us.
As far as them deteriorating, a couple of theories I have..
a) clone technology isn't that far advanced yet
b) they are set to self destruct at 3 years. recall all of the mention of the three year contract and then they are sent home (aka killed)
c) kind of a spin-off of (a and b), after three years of isolation the brain starts malfunction. recall the hallucinations.
I liked this movie, but they should have made the ending a little more understandable. The gargled broadcast was kind of annoying and disappointing. Also, seems like it would have happened a little differently then the healthy clone showing up and just getting to tell his story.

I just re-watched the end and I missed the whole Clone 6 part of the transmission the first time. It was hard to hear. So my theory that the Original Sam was home with his daughter makes no sense now. I thought the real Sam was home already and the clone was following him because the radio transmission was taking place as a spacepod type vehicle was entering earths orbit.

I watched the two Q&As on the extra features of the DVD, here's how I understand it:
Original Sam goes to the moon, does his three year stint while the computer records certain parts of his experience (omitting anything to do with clones). He goes back home and the clones take over, with Original Sam's selected memory uploaded to them.
The clones expire after three years due either to a limitation in the technology of cloning in the movie, or they are engineered to last that long to match the Original Sam's contract.
