Excellent - but cops out when it matters

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2012)

Spoilers! I must admit I saw Moon and wanted to see this immediately after and am most impressed, it sort of reminded me of The Jacket with Keira Knightly and Adrian Brody.
I love the way director Duncan Jones takes his time to unravel a story, you learn with the main character what is going on every step of the way and grow to have empathy with him/her.
My only problem which I feel may have been caused by test screenings, which is mentioned quite frequently on IMDb is the ending. Just when it seemed to stop at the perfect moment, the main character finally gets to call his dad, arranges for a comedian to entertain the passengers and with seconds to live, kisses the girl and all the victims of the disaster are laughing and smiling and it freezes, I expected it to fade to black ... perfect, emotional and a logical conclusion.
but no.. it decides to go on a little longer as the couple go on a date, and there's a text message...and.. well it takes the shine off what would have been a truly memorable film.
Its still excellent though but so close to being perfect.
