This is a very thought provoking movie. The documentary format comes across fine and gives a good impression of something that could have happened. The creepy feeling of being stuck on the moon and the slow frustration seems very plausible and that is the pivoting point. If you don't buy into this feeling then this movie is not for you.
I am amazed how this film has called all the burping beer drinkers out of the woodwork. I grant it that the those expecting a Rambo Fights Alien or Starwars 117 is sorely disappointed. This movie is for those liking Kubricks 2001 or Stanislaw Lens Solaris. It is slow, downplayed and feels realistic - that's the genius of this movie gem. This is an intelligent movie and it apparently puts off the bulk audience/reviewer craving a Hollywood has-it-all an-explotion-every-5-seconds drivel. So be it. I loved it!
