Despite the low budget, this DOES make you think. It has aspects of 2001, Blade Runner, Saturn 3, and Outland ( and maybe others ), but in a very unique way.
Spoiler 1: Sam is a clone ( ala Blade Runner ). We find out that the clones just last 3 years, and then the clone is destroyed, and a new clone awoken. Why they stocked up on decades of clones isn't really answered.
Spoiler 2: The evil corporation ( ala Outland ) sends killers to eliminate the old clone ( rescued by the new clone after he awakens ). The countdown is right out of Outland.
Spoiler 3: While the moon is not a moving space ship ( ala 2001 ), the similarity is there, and Gerty is less deranged than Hal.
Spoiler 4: Sam is there to ship harvested Helium and maintain the harvesting equipment ( as opposed to the hydroponics of Saturn 3 ).
Spoiler 5: The plot is usually predictable after the second clone is activated, but takes some interesting plot twists after the third one wakes up.
This is worth the time to watch it.
