Old style sci-fi for people who like something to think about

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2009)

Excellent sci-fi, particularly notable for its use of physical model work rather than cgi to create the moon base and lunar landscape, giving a reality often missing from todays bigger budget offerings.
Also Sam Rockwell's performance is nicely understated with an immense amount going suitably unsaid to add yet another layer of reality that over scripting his characters thought process would most likely have removed.
If you like Bladerunner, 2001, Solaris and other similar films, you'll love this. If you're looking for big explosions and girls in tight rubber, you're looking in the wrong place, but go and see it anyway cause you may be surprised at how enjoyable true sci-fi can be.
And as sci-fi should, the film has something to say about technology that may loom only just over our horizon as well as about current attitudes to humanity.
