Possibly the most moving Sci-Fi ever made

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2009)

A genuinely touching sci-fi film set in a not too distant but very grim future where the only solution to the energy crisis is to mine for ores on the moon. A one man mission with a three year contract. The current employee of lunar industries is coming up to the end of his 3 year stint and is desperate to get home to his wife and newly born daughter, however all is not as it seems. Upon investigating a damaged piece of machinery he discovers another person, himself. Sam isn't sure whether he is mad or if there is something more going on.
Something of an emotional roller-coaster, not in the least bit pretentious with the plot, rather focusing on the moral end ethical implications of Sam's predicament. There are many scenes where holding back tears can be rather difficult.
Overall, this is one of the best films I have ever seen, made even better with Clint Mansells haunting soundtrack.
