Ridiculous

Rating: 2/10 (28 May 2016)

Wait: There's one guy working a power plant ON HIS OWN on the moon? Can you say 'single point of failure?'. What if he breaks his arm, who helps him? Why not have at least a small team of people out there? Instantly discredits the movie with a wholly unbelievable premise. Then - the whole plant is automated, apart from, he has to drive out himself in a manual vehicle to pick up the helium that is produced? Why? Couldn't they have automated that too? What am I missing here? This movie starts stinking within 2 minutes. Oh, and he's lonely and depressed because he's all alone? No surprises there - why not have a team of people out there? Problem solved. "I can do that for you, Sam" says the robot. Yes, so why is Sam there again? He punches a code into a key pad to eject a pod - he's just stabbing at it, hitting several buttons at once, and the code entry still works! Really, this actor is just phoning it in. What? And he's married and has a kid? But he chose a 3-year contract on the moon, by himself. Hmm. This doesn't add up. Oh, then he starts hallucinating (because he's there by himself) and rolls the truck he's driving (which is a problem because he's there by himself) OK, that's 20 mins. This is lame. Done
