Story Was More Crescent Than Full

Rating: 3/10 (10 April 2020)

(Flash Review)
This film was too basic with too thin a story and it thought it was more grand and philosophical than it was. It's one of those films where the protagonist wrestles with the solitude of being the ONLY human working at a mining plant on the Moon which sends resources back to a mineral starved Earth. Does being the sole human strain his mental state or is something else strange afoot? Plots like this are typically interesting yet this one was unconvincing or that the main 'characters' were irritating. The drab and bland writing and the jarring unsophisticated emoticon faces the talking robot had didn't help. The preposterousness of the logic they established for the Moon mining activity encourages a furrowed brow. On a positive note, the Moon special effects were very good.
