Review:

Soooooo good. Sam Rockwell is fantastic in his performance as a lonely man driven to insanity (?) on the moon. The question mark is there because the movie is not at all what you'd expect. It sounds far more boring than it actually is, and in fact there wasn't a boring moment. It's a wonderful homage to the classic sci-fi that we haven't seen in quite some time, and it really works. The story is great, but I won't give away anything because it's better when you know nothing. Kevin Spacey is awesome as the helpful robot computer friend, and Sam Rockwell's only (?) companion while working on the moon. There is simply not enough praise that I can give this film, so instead I'll simply implore that you go watch it as well. Immediately. Or, whenever you have the time. Sam Rockwell's character has plenty of it. Share a couple hours with him.

Phenomenal fucking flick. I honestly don't understand the guy who gave it 5/10. This movie had everything a fan could want. Story, outstanding performances (by the same person) and a visually pleasing palette.

My favorite flick of the year so far.

I remember you saying that on the JoBlo Movie Podcast. It's definitely one of my favorites. And I suppose I can understand how some people might find the movie boring, as it's not exactly the most "exciting" film ever, although personally I think that's insane. Obviously there's more to movies than that. I can't really defend or persecute the guy though, because his review didn't really go into any details about the "why" part of his dislike, he just said it bored him. Unless he puts some more thought into that, I don't understand him either. This movie kicked some major ass.
