Anyone else seen it yet? If you don't know about this film (as I knew almost nothing about it when I was told in no uncertain terms to go see it), it's a near-future SF film about a man who works as the sole caretaker of a mostly-automated lunar mining base. That's about as far as I'll go telling you about the plot, and I'd strongly recommend you
don't go reading reviews or watching trailers, because it's one of those films where the less you know going in the better it'll be. What I will say is this: It is one of the best new SF films I've seen in a long time. It actually felt a lot more like an SF novel than like most contemporary SF film; it was thoughtfully plotted, not entirely special-effects-driven (don't get me wrong, there are some great visuals, but it's certainly not trying to meet some explosion/fireball quota), and while there were a few "Wait one second..." moments, and a few fine cracks in some of the premises, it mostly seemed to strive pretty hard for a decent degree of plausibility.
Right now (at least in the US) it's in an arthouse release, so if you're not in or near a big city or college town you might have a tough time, and for some of the aforementioned reasons I doubt it'll make it to the multiplexes, but if you can find it it is well worth going out of your way to see.
Also, you'll never look at emoticons the same again
