More than science fiction

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2015)

A fantastic, small movie that forces you to think about the future, the impact of isolation, bio-ethics and more.
The setup is simple: in the near future, man establishes a working base on the moon to mine for mineral resources for the Earth. Sam Rockwell (in a fantastic portrayal) plays the sole person manning the operation and he is nearing the end of his 3 year commitment. He yearns to return to Earth and his family as he has had limited contact during his service time with anyone other than the interactive (talking) computer running the station. When he makes a discovery regarding an apparent accident, he questions all of his underlying assumptions about himself.
