This is a superb film in every possible way. It has a well crafted story which is expertly acted. The effects are brilliant and the music is pleasing. All the other stuff, direction, cinematography etc. that's good too. A sci-fi film but of the rarer mystery/thriller sort rather than the basic action/adventure this is about a lone man living in a moon base going a little crazy and having a bit of an identity crisis. Sam Rockwell in the lead role does an amazing job with only himself, a few video clips and the voice of Kevin Spacey to play off. While not entirely unique it's still an great example of film making, the first full feature for director Duncan Jones, he's going to be another one to watch out for in the future. Also major bonus points for the use of "I am the one and only" in the sound track!

That sounds well worth watching, just like this great review was well worth reading.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me - in a round about sort of way - have you seen a sci-fi film called Sunshine? Apparently it's 'undeservedly little-known', and I thought it was good.
Yes I've seen Sunshine and enjoyed it too.
