After all, if I had been stuck on a space station, alone, for years and I saw *myself* standing there i might indeed be a bit reluctant to believe my eyes.

That's my thought. Personally that's one of the parts that I liked trying to figure out: is he crazy, or is there really someone else on the station?

Also, MORE SPOILERS ahead:

I refer to the vision of a dark-haired woman, first in the base, then outside the space buggy. This vision causes the driver to crash the space buggy which ultimately breaks the cycle. The robot says to the corporation that "the circumstances of the crash are very strange" or something to that effect. So, who was this girl? Why did Sam have a vision of her? Why did none of the other Sams have visions of her? Not only is this mystery not answered, it's not even mentioned for the rest of the film!

Been a while since I saw it so I may be fuzzy on some things, but IIRC that was a hallucination of his (their?) daughter, when he makes the phone call later you can see it's the same girl.

Or at least I'm pretty sure that's how it went...


As I said, a slow, quiet movie, not for everyone

I also thought it might have been his daughter, though I didn't bother rewinding to check, but that still doesn't explain the mystery of why he had a vision of her. It's just a really poor plot device. Something else could have broken the cycle much more believably - some unpredictable circumstance like a system failure or something - but instead we have the first psychic clone. If it were me I'd have woken up the other clones because maybe some of those could have predicted the future or cast spells.

Yeah that part was a little weird But I've seen dumber things crammed into beter movies...
