Plot

With only three weeks left in his three-year contract, Sam Bell is eager to return to Earth. Stationed alone at a Moon-based facility with his computer assistant GERTY, an unexpected accident sets off a series of unsettling events that shake his isolation.

Sinekatalog’s take

A quiet, lonely science fiction story that trusts one man, a robotic companion and a sterile base to carry the whole film. Its mystery unfolds patiently and leans more on melancholy and ideas than spectacle. A smart, low-budget gem for fans of thoughtful, human-scaled space stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
