Lean, solid sci-fi

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2019)

Loved the premise of the story and the minimalism of its execution. The slow pace works for a film that has elements of isolation, paranoia, and uncertainty about reality. It's not perfect - I think Sam Rockwell was fine but at a couple of critical moments how he reacted didn't seem realistic. The main twist is revealed somewhat early as well, and GERTY is too close to HAL for me. Still though, the message of the film, relating to man's inhumanity, is devastating.
