Back in the day, we used to hit up a flick at the Princess almost every Sunday night. Good tradition. We've moved away from it for the past couple months, but we did go last night. Saw MOON to fulfill p's space obsession.
Quick Summary stolen/borrowed from the Princess:
An astronaut miner extracting the precious moon gas that promises to reverse the Earth's energy crisis nears the end of his three-year contract, and makes an ominous discovery in this psychological sci-fi film. For three long years, Sam Bell has dutifully harvested Helium 3 for Lunar, a company that claims it holds the key to solving humankind's energy crisis. As Sam's contract comes to an end, the lonely astronaut looks forward to returning to his wife and daughter down on Earth, where he will retire early and attempt to make up for lost time.With only two weeks to go before he begins his journey back to Earth, Sam starts feeling strange: he's having inexplicable visions, and hearing impossible sounds. Then, when a routine extraction goes horribly awry, it becomes apparent that Lunar hasn't been entirely straightforward with Sam about their plans for replacing him. The new recruit seems strangely familiar, and before Sam returns to Earth, he will grapple with the realization that the life he has created may not be entirely his own. Up there, hundreds of thousands of miles from home, it appears that Sam's contract isn't the only thing about to expire.
Great flick - you think you know where it's headed. but you don't.
kind of leaves you with the feeling "yep. that could happen"
You should check it out - looks like it's playing at 7pm and 9:05 till July 30th.
