Great start, bad ending. A bit of 2001 (isolation!, creepy AI), a bit of Alien (working class astronauts exploited by their employers), a bit of Blade Runner (skinjobs with limited lifespans). Doesn't really get bad until about the last 15 minutes.

Way better than, e.g., Prometheus, which was more expensive and made obvious, very obvious, references to 2001. Worth watching, anyway. ( )

A man is stationed alone on the moon for three years.

Absolutely amazing writing. Avoids cliches and expectations like nobody’s business. It’s also one of only about a dozen “science fiction movies” ever made that’s actually science fiction.
