i don't know why i haven't heard anything about this movie until now. sam rockwell's performance is pretty cool. his characters are two clones, so he plays two different roles against one another. i love the look and feel of the lunar station setting. it isn't wildly advanced and futuristic, but instead recollects images from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and other classic 60s & 70s sci-fi movies. there's a nice balance between a vintage aesthetic and a feeling of what a real time space station would look like. the movie invites a lot of interesting questions about cloning, energy resources, the psychology of humans in space, not to mention what it would be like to meet and interact with yourself. definitely worth a rent.
