A stunning début from David Bowies son, Duncan Jones. The story follows Sam Bell who has just a few days left of his lonely 3 year contact taking care of a Helium-3 extraction plant on the moon, but nothing is quite as it seems. It is almost impossible for me to say more without ruining the story. I think it is sufficient to say that this a film about the human condition and without a doubt, the saddest film set on the moon I have ever seen. Science fiction hasn't been this poignant since Kubric's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
