Maybe it's only a little similar, but I can't help but be distracted by the similarities to my fave sci-fi book: 2001.
I kept thinking of this: The Black Corridor for sci-fi/psychological thriller/strange computer thing.
(2001 is still top 5 sci-fi, IMHO, though and the similarities are obvious.)

Pete, Moon is a nice quiet little intelligent drama with some interesting twists. Definitely worthwhile. Just don't expect to be blown away or anything.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

I just hope it's not "Saturn 5 Redux".

"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."
I watched it last Friday. It's a good movie. A very good movie actually. The funny thing is that the friends who never watch scifi loved it, and those who go to every scifi movie, liked it but less. It's weird for scifi to be made sooo hyperrealistic and political. It's like a mix between "alien nation" and "the wire".
Wether you love it or find it demanding it's, indeed, a movie to watch. More than good the value for the money. Don't wait for the DVD.
Saw it over the weekend. It was pretty good but wouldn't say great. At least it was original and more interesting than you're standard alien fare. Funny thing was quite a few people in the theatre I was in walked out on it - guess it's not for everyone.
My only complaint is that there were a few plot holes you could drive a truck thru, which I found a bit annoying. One of them could have easily been fixed. The other may have taken some more effort to get around....

I left after twenty minutes, but not because I didn't like it, I just couldn't watch it the way I wanted to in a theater.

We'll have to compare notes on that when the DVD comes out.
Did anybody else find Merwe a bit too obvious?
