I'm hearing great things about this. Filmed for 2.5 Million, which is frankly absurdly small money for a Sci Fi Movie. Stars Sam Rockwell and the voice of Kevin Spacey. Most of the effects shots were achieved the old-fashioned way using miniatures. Looks wonderful.

Yes, I'm ultra-curious about this too. Hoping it's released here at some point.

Oh, yes, I read about this one on Wired.com. I'm definitely looking forward to it...whenever I get a chance to see it.

The trailer is on hulu.

It looks interesting. :) Is that the person that played "Guy" on Galaxy Quest?

I saw it Yov. Really enjoyed it. Its not a sci-fi classic, but certainly better than the usual fare. And Sam Rockwell is great as usual. (Yeah, he was Guy in Galaxy Quest, Maria). What did you think of it Yov?

I kinda feel stupid after asking that question, actually. When I looked at his credits on IMDB.com..... he's been in a LOT of shows. "Guy" was the one I thought of when I saw his face, though.

I watched this about a month ago and really like it. Sam Rockwell was fab and hearing Kevin Spacey was a plus since he's one of my faves as well.

Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

Oh, right. Well, I really really wanted to love it. There were a lot of wonderful elements to it. But ultimately the story was mildly unsatisfying. Not bad by any means but it left with a "coulda been so much more" feeling. So, mild disappointment.

One thing bugged me was...
MINI-SPOILER!

...in the beginning, they clearly show that he is having hallucinations. I kept expecting this to be a factor in the plot and most of the movie kept expecting Sam #2 to be a hallucination or something. But that whole aspect ended up having nothing to do with anything which felt very off to me.
