Jill and I watched this to cap off an amazing Saint Valentine’s Day. I’ve been meaning to see Moon and we rented it at her suggestion.

In short: It’s pretty fantastic. Shot in HDR with blended CG-and-models, it’s Silent Running meets Red Dwarf with a strong hint of A Space Oddity Odyssey.

It turns out the director/writer, a guy with a couple of phil. degrees (ethics as applied to artificial intelligence), is David Bowie’s son, and one of the producers was Sting’s wife — so it rocks the 70s “Golden Age” Sci-Fi art-film atmosphere pretty hard.

One of the special features is the director’s previous (2000) short film called Whistle — it’s definitely a watcher too: In Bruges meets the Spectre gunship level of COD4: MW.
