QuoteIt is the near future. Astronaut Sam Bell is living on the far side of the moon, completing a three-year contract with Lunar Industries to mine Earth’s primary source of energy, Helium-3. It is a lonely job, made harder by a broken satellite that allows no live communications home. Taped messages are all Sam can send and receive.
Unfortunately, no one can understand them because he speaks in a high pitched silly voice. :roflmao:

Looks promising, but after The Green mile I'm having hard time to take that actor seriously. I hope that it is a winner after all.

Well judging by the mention "Taped messages" and a quick glance at the trailer looks like it's going to be one of these films with a twist. He doesn't really have a wife and kids perhaps, or his robot has be doctoring things.

Think it could be interesting if it avoids these two chiché endings.

It'll be that all life on earth has been destryoed by some plague or disaster and he is the last living human.
The AI decided to save him from this news by creating fake messages.
 
 
Or he knows about the death of all he holds dear and is replaying the taped messages to create the illision that all is well while slowly going insane.

That's the sort of thing I'm talking about. I'm thinking he's a clone. Doesn't really have a family and will be disposed of instead of set "home", or something along those line.

Yup, thought the same thing.  Don't need to go and see it now.
