I think this, along with The Road, ranks as a Movie I Am Looking Forward To for the year. I nearly always enjoy the "man vs himself IN SPAAAAACE" theme.

They gave the movie away in the trailer.
As someone on GF.com said, the only thing left unanswered is whether they recycle him into meat product to feed the others at the end of his tour.

Just saw this tonight. Excellent film. You can definitely see the Alien/2001 influence. As for the trailer giving away the twist, the film gives it away in the first 15-20 minutes. The focus is really on the implications after Sam's discovery.

Wow. This looks like fun. Wish it was showing locally. I'd have to trek to SF, Berkeley, or Santa Cruz to see it. Grr.

Just saw this movie here in Berkeley. Really enjoyed it. As mentioned, the "twist", or what ever you call it, is given away right off the bat. The movie is all about how you deal with it.
It was overall a slow, surreal, sort of movie, but I loved it.

Sam Rockwell is an awesome actor. I wish he'd get more high profiled stuff. Matchstick Men was made terrific by all his effort, and he barely saved HHGTTG for me.
This looks amazing. Thanks for the FYI.

Saw this last night. A film hasn't done such a thorough job of confusing my emotions in a long time. Highly recommended.

Marvelous. Betrays a lot of stereotypes to good effect. Gerty is adorable.
I expected it to be gimmicky and generic and it was anything but.

Saw this last night. Film is amazing. It plays with the audience's expectations in great ways, and Sam Rockwell gives one of the best performances I've seen in quite a while. If it's at a theater in your city, watch it now.

Just came back from this. Very good flick, reminiscent of 70s scifi flicks like 2001 and Silent Running.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Saw it. It was good. I have no idea about your spoiler though - I suspect a bunch of stuff was cut and the answer to that was probably something that hit the cutting floor.

~ Visually stunning, emotionally crushing, in every way the film I was hoping to see and more. It managed a brilliant thing in having a wonderful (if hard to bear) conceit that never has the chance to outstay its welcome. Tour de Force from Rockwell, one of the finest character actors out there, so good to see him get into something at once intelligent and defining. As important to the scifi genre as Let the Right One In was for horror/vampire flicks. These movies are rare, and should be cherished. |

I was about to post in agreement with Engles about the dark-haired girl not being the daughter but IMDB agrees with Mattemeo. Kaya Scodelario played "Eve Bell" and is indeed a dark-haired girl |

Hey, guys, the film threads are for discussing films. No need to Spoiler tag everything. People only come here after they've seen the movie. The daughter was Effie from Skins. Sam was actually sexy in this film, in a sort of Erick McCormack-ish way. I loved this movie for all of the reasons you all have mentioned.

Very astute observation, I agree.
This is the thing, right - it's arguable that it'd be both an even bigger artistic blunder and/or screenplay fiasco if the girl HAD been exactly the same - because that's impossible.
They randomly misspelled "satellite" on the console in several scenes, which implies (to me) that there may have been a slight oversight on details. |

Moon kicked ass. And thank you for bringing up Let the Right One In as being similarly good. I rented it, and it too kicked ass, so I'm happy.

Just got back from seeing this. Very satisfactory. I'm not sure if I can think of a better pure sci-fi film off the top of my head, in fact.

I saw it a few weeks ago, and was similarly impressed. That said, it isn't as "cold" (in the sense of 60s/70s hard sci-fi) as all the reviews have made it out to be. Or, at least, there aren't too many of those Kubrickian pauses that in 2001 chill you with the vastness/emptiness of space.
Which isn't to say the movie doesn't portray Sam's isolation well, it's just that the movie felt more sentimental (almost romantic, in an understated way) than I expected, if you know what I mean.

wife and I saw this last Sunday. Just terrific. You know, it sounds pretentious, but I really sometimes think I can predict the end of any TV show or movie or book etc. When I can't it just makes me grin. Wonderful movie, and Sam Rockwell came through as I hoped.  |

Saw this the other night, enjoyed it a lot. It did feel like there was stuff missing though, but these days I find myself preferring films to be cut down to a reasonable length if it's done well. 2+ hour long films are an unfortunate trend. In fact, this film was good enough for me to manage to ignore the occasionally stupid physics easily |

I think i must have seen some other version to everyone else. Sat down with decent expectations and then watched a movie go absolutely nowhere for two hours (or however long it was). Two clones fight, one dies, other one escapes into spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace. The fuck was the point of this film?
