Low key and rare example of hard science fiction that's also a tip of the hat to films like Silent Running from the 1970s. Jones and Rockwell have done a fine job with this near one hander (Spacey provides some company for Rockwell's lonesome astronaut in the form of a grimly stained robot).Rockwell is excellent at conveying the different facets - and especially the routine, loneliness and isolation - of his character's life. The authentic looking model work, set design and lighting only enhances the feeling.
Verdict: Fly me to the Moon, but make sure I've got a return ticket.
