By David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones.
And that's the last reference to the elder statesman of British pop/rock.
The movie is low key and low budget.
It lasts 90 minutes and takes place entirely on the moon about 50 years from now.
Astronaut Sam Bell (lunar miner) sits alone in his moonbase waiting for his solitary 3 year contract to end and to be reunited with his wife...
Then something happens which turns his world/moon/life upside down.
Influences: 2001, Solaris, Silent Running, Castaway, A.I., Wallace and Gromit...
It is a tense, psychological drama featuring a virtuoso performance from Sam Rockwell as Sam.
Not for those wanting to see heaps of action/aliens/romance...
Kevin Spacey makes an "appearance" as Gerty the computer/robot.
Understated, intelligent story telling.
