LUNAR

About This Movie

LUNAR (2013) offers a gritty take on the sci-fi genre, set against a bleak backdrop of a dystopian Los Angeles in 2057. The atmosphere is thick with tension, reflecting a corrupt penal system that's almost character in itself. The pacing has its moments of urgency, especially as the protagonist, an outlaw trying to escape his fate, navigates the harsh realities of LUNAR penitentiaries. The practical effects are surprisingly well-executed for an indie flick, adding a layer of realism that enhances the film's themes of family and desperation. While the director remains unknown, the performances carry a raw intensity that keeps you invested in the outlaw's perilous journey back to Earth. It’s distinctive in how it marries personal stakes with larger societal issues, making it quite thought-provoking.
