Moon Man

Moon Man (2022) is a Chinese sci-fi comedy with a soft dramatic streak that you can watch online on iFILM. The year is 2033, and a defensive complex has been built on the Moon to shield Earth from an incoming swarm of asteroids. Then a lowly maintenance worker, Dugu Yue, sleeps through the evacuation and gets left behind.

Soon after, part of the defense fails, the asteroids finish off the planet, and Dugu concludes he's the last human alive in the universe. What he doesn't realize: surviving Earthlings are watching his every move on working equipment, like a livestream they can't talk back to. On top of that, the base turns out to host an enormous red kangaroo — strong, stubborn and far from friendly. That's the odd pair stranded in the dead silence of space.

Director Zhang Chiyu pairs comedy stars Shen Teng and Ma Li for the lead duo, and the film became one of the biggest box-office hits of its year in China. The humor is broad and loud, but underneath the gags sits a surprisingly tender story about loneliness and wanting to matter to someone. Stream Moon Man (2022) online on iFILM.
