One of my favourite films actually. I think a lot of people find it kind of boring, I would call it atmospheric
The only niggle I would have is the scene where 'dave' enters through the airlock without a helmet - but I let it pass.

Yeh, Midlands Today (yeh I know, you don't have a TV!) pointed out the other day that the international space station would be visible for a couple of minutes, passing through the sky near the moon. It's possible that is what you're seeing as I understand it's quite bright on account of its being probably the biggest (I'm guessing here) satellite in orbit. Oh and it's in a much lower orbit than geostationary satellites.
